| Abstract | This article presents a corpus featuring adults playing games in interaction with machine trying to induce laugh. This corpus was collected during Interspeech 2013 in Lyon to study behavioral differences correlated to different personalities and cultures. We first present the collection protocol, then the corpus obtained and finally different quantitative and qualitative measures. Smiles and laughs are types of affect bursts which are defined as short emotional “non-speech” expressions. Here we correlate smile and laugh with personality traits and cultural background. Our final objective is to propose a measure of engagement deduced from those affect bursts. |
