Meeting Modelling in the Context of Multimodal Research

摘要

This paper presents a framework for corpus based multimodal research. Part of this framework is applied in the context of meeting modelling. A generic model for different aspects of meetings is discussed. This model leads to a layered description of meetings where each layer adds a level of interpretation for distinct aspects based on information provided by lower layers. This model should provide a starting point for selecting annotation schemes for layers of the meeting and for defining a hierarchy between individual layers.
