Explainable Human-centered Traits from Head Motion and Facial Expression Dynamics
We explore the efficacy of multimodal behavioral cues for explainable prediction of personality and interview-specific traits. We utilize elementary head-motion units named kinemes, atomic facial movements termed action units and speech features to estimate these human-centered traits. Empirical results confirm that kinemes and action units enable discovery of multiple trait-specific behaviors while also enabling explainability in support of the predictions. For fusing cues, we explore decision and feature-level fusion, and an additive attention-based fusion strategy which quantifies the relative importance of the three modalities for trait prediction. Examining various long-short term memory (LSTM) architectures for classification and regression on the MIT Interview and First Impressions Candidate Screening (FICS) datasets, we note that: (1) Multimodal approaches outperform unimodal counterparts; (2) Efficient trait predictions and plausible explanations are achieved with both unimodal and multimodal approaches, and (3) Following the thin-slice approach, effective trait prediction is achieved even from two-second behavioral snippets.
