A Multimodal Neural Network for Recognizing Subjective Self-Disclosure Towards Social Robots
Subjective self-disclosure is an important feature of human social interaction. While much has been done in the social and behavioural literature to characterise the features and consequences of subjective self-disclosure, little work has been done thus far to develop computational systems that are able to accurately model it. Even less work has been done that attempts to model specifically how human interactants self-disclose with robotic partners. It is becoming more pressing as we require social robots to work in conjunction with and establish relationships with humans in various social settings. In this paper, our aim is to develop a custom multimodal attention network based on models from the emotion recognition literature, training this model on a large self-collected self-disclosure video corpus, and constructing a new loss function, the scale preserving cross entropy loss, that improves upon both classification and regression versions of this problem. Our results show that the best performing model, trained with our novel loss function, achieves an F1 score of 0.83, an improvement of 0.48 from the best baseline model. This result makes significant headway in the aim of allowing social robots to pick up on an interaction partner's self-disclosures, an ability that will be essential in social robots with social cognition.

Examining the Utility of Self-disclosure Types for Modeling Annotators of Social Norms
Recent work has explored the use of personal information in the form of persona sentences or self-disclosures to improve modeling of individual characteristics and prediction of annotator labels for subjective tasks. The…
An Empirical Study of Self-Disclosure in Spoken Dialogue Systems
Self-disclosure is a key social strategy employed in conversation to build relations and increase conversational depth. It has been heavily studied in psychology and linguistic literature, particularly for its ability to…
Spoken Dialogue SystemsFrom Small Talk to Rapport: Exploring Robot Self-Disclosure in Collaborative Tasks
People naturally chat while collaborating and share personal information (i.e., self-disclose) to build rapport and maintain social connections. As robots are increasingly developed to work with people, the effective use…
Theory of Mind and Self-Disclosure to CUIs
Self-disclosure is important to help us feel better, yet is often difficult. This difficulty can arise from how we think people are going to react to our self-disclosure. In this workshop paper, we briefly discuss self-d…
Digital Voices of Survival: From Social Media Disclosures to Support Provisions for Domestic Violence Victims
Domestic Violence (DV) is a pervasive public health problem characterized by patterns of coercive and abusive behavior within intimate relationships. With the rise of social media as a key outlet for DV victims to disclo…
