| Challenge: | Nonverbal communication (NVC) is an integral part of human language, but it has been overlooked in natural language processing research. |
| Approach: | They propose a multimodal multimodal recognition task that uses a corpus of mimed gestures to evaluate their understanding of NVC. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on 86 unique gestures with perturbations applied to avatar, background, and viewpoint for evaluating recognition robustness. |
