All interested parties
This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to the transcription, annotation, and analysis of multimodal interaction data, with a specific focus on hand gestures and facial gestures. Participants will explore key methodological decisions involved in working with multimodal data — from segmenting, categorizing, and coding gestural and facial conduct in dedicated annotation tools to analyzing their respective function.
The workshop addresses central questions such as:
- How can hand gestures be systematically identified, segmented into phases, and classified according to established typologies?
- How can facial gestures — including eyebrow movements, gaze shifts, head tilts, and mouth actions — be captured in annotation schemes that are both fine-grained and analytically manageable?
- And how do researchers move from detailed annotation to meaningful analysis, linking gestural and facial conduct to speech, interaction dynamics, and broader communicative functions?
By combining conceptual input with practical exercises on authentic video data, the workshop aims to equip participants with the tools and criteria needed to develop consistent, transparent, and reproducible annotation practices for multimodal research.
