392117 Multimodal Behavior Processing: Affective Signals (V) (WiSe 2025/2026)

Short comment

Basic coding skills in Python are highly recommended.

Contents, comment

The lecture is dedicated to the multimodal analysis of human behavior. The focus is on the interpretation of affective signals, due to their high relevance for human-computer interactions. Different modalities of affective expression will be presented (e.g., movements, facial expressions, voice, physiological responses) and discussed with respect to their meaning and interpretation. In the context of different methods of sound and video analysis, different approaches are presented to computationally evaluate and interpret these signals. Besides the processing of multimodal signals, one topic will be the fusion of multimodal signals. Based on different use cases of social signal analysis, the potential but also the limits and risks of social signal processing will be explained.

We offer a corresponding tutorial with the lecture, in which you will implement some of the methods presented in the lecture. It is highly recommended taking lecture and tutorial during the same semester.
