Abstract
Social signal processing (SSP) is a promising automated technology that aims to provide computers with the ability to sense and understand human social behaviors. Representative SSP applications include novel human-computer interaction mechanisms that enhance machine sensitivity of users emotional and mental states, more engaging games, ambient intelligence systems responsive to social context, and new quantitative psychological evaluation tools for coaching or diagnosis. Based on adopted cues, existing SSP methods can be categorized as verbal or nonverbal. Over the last decade, significant progress has been accomplished in visual nonverbal behavior analysis (VNBA). However, several emerging issues such as fusion of multimodal cues, context estimation, and user privacy protection still need to be addressed adequately. The authors present an overview of VNBA and describe various research challenges and proposed solutions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
