Abstract
The paper proposes a method to acquire nonverbal cues for an intelligent agent that can be used in communications with human partner. A framework to extract the information that affords a key to understand intension, mental state, affect, or signs evoked by a person through nonverbal communication between the person and an intelligent agent. The aim of the framework is to make intelligent agents to be able to extract the nonverbal cues through trial-and-error style learning. A limited functionality of the framework is implemented and applied to a facial expression analysis as a case study. The main advantage of the method is that it would acquire the cues as some time-series information inherent to particular facial expressions. Thus the agent Result in a preliminary experiment shows that this implemented method have potential to extract nonverbal cues concerning with fake and real smiles.
