This paper aims to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) partner that supports group problem-solving and social dynamics. The AI partner will utilize multimodal analytics to identify non-verbal interactions between group members, combining this with verbal participation to create a holistic understanding of collaboration and engagement. In the present demo, the authors illustrate their capabilities in detecting and tracking nonverbal behavior in student task-oriented interactions in the classroom, highlighting its implications for tracking common ground and engagement.

The researchers are trying to build an AI that helps groups work together better. They want this AI to understand not just what people say, but also how they act when they’re working together. This is important because non-verbal cues can tell us a lot about how well a group is doing and if everyone is engaged in the task. The authors have made some progress on this project by showing that their AI can detect and track these nonverbal behaviors in students working together in class.
