Grand Challenge at ACM MM’24
Artificial mediators are a promising approach to support conversations, but at present their abilities are limited by insufficient progress in behaviour sensing and analysis. The MultiMediate challenge is designed to work towards the vision of effective artificial mediators by facilitating and measuring progress on key social behaviour sensing and analysis tasks. This year, the challenge focuses on the estimation of engagement across different domains. In addition, we continue to accept submissions to the most popular tasks of previous MultiMediate iterations, including backchannel detection, eye contact detection, and bodily behaviour recognition.
