Multimodel Corpus Nonverbal Behaviors
 
Nonverbal behaviors serve an important role during human communication. They can repeat, contradict, complement, or regulate verbal communication. Virtual humans with these believable nonverbal behaviors can create a more immersive experience for users and improve the effectiveness of communication. I am interested in how to generate communicative nonverbal behaviors for virtual humans through facial expresions, head movements, body gesture, or eye gaze according to the agents' affective state and the linguistic features of the surface text.
