Listening heads
Open accessAbstract
Vier jaar onderzoek samengevat.Dat ligt nu voor je.Een persoonlijke mijlpaal, maar zeker geen mijlpaal die ik alleen heb bereikt.Vele mensen hebben mij direct of indirect gesteund de afgelopen vier jaar en die verdienen een bedankje.Als eerste wil ik mijn ouders bedanken.Jullie hebben me altijd gesteund in alles wat ik wilde doen en daar ben ik jullie erg dankbaar voor.Zonder jullie steun en de gegeven vrijheid zou ik nooit zo ver gekomen zijn.Ik laat het te weinig merken, maar ik hou van jullie.Ik wil ook mijn flatgenoten bedanken.Ook na elf jaar is Flat Lodewijck nog altijd een fijne plek om naar terug te keren na een werkdag.Er is altijd wel iemand met een luisterend oor beschikbaar.Door de jaren heen hebben veel mensen deel uit gemaakt van onze flat, maar de ongedwongen, relaxte Lodewijck-sfeer is altijd gebleven, één van de redenen dat ik er ook tijdens mijn promotie-traject ben blijven wonen.Vooral wil ik Dirk bedanken voor het geloof in mij en de vrijheid die ik van je kreeg om mijn eigen route te kiezen.De gesprekken, niet alleen over het onderzoek, maar ook over de alledaagse dingen waren erg prettig.Ik herinner me vooral nog het weekend in Parijs, waar je Ronald, Dennis, Khiet en mij uitgenodigd had om je appartement te bezoeken en ons langs allerlei winkeltjes met lekkernijen leidde.Ook wil ik alle andere collegas van HMI bedanken voor de leuke, leerzame en gezellige tijd die ik er gehad heb.Een aantal collegas wil ik nog specifiek noemen.Ronald; voor zijn altijd aanwezige enthousiasme, die leven in de brouwerij brengt.De vele conferenties/summerschools die we samen bezochten en de vakantiedagen die we er in IJsland en Californi aan vast plakten waren ook altijd erg gezellig.De samenwerkingen aan een aantal papers en discussies over onderzoek in het algemeen waren ook erg leerzaam.Khiet, voor het delen van ons kantoor op de vakgroep, Lynn, voor het doorlezen en verbeteren van mijn thesis, Hendri voor alle hulp met het creëren van het MultiLis corpus, Charlotte en Alice voor de administratieve hulp bij de dagelijkse gang van zaken.Ook alle bachelor-referaat studenten die meegeholpen hebben met onderdelen van het onderzoek en alle deelnemers aan de onderzoeken wil ik bedanken.Furthermore, I would like to thank Louis-Philippe Morency.In 2008 I went off to the USC Institute of Creative Technologies for an internship, thinking I would be working with Jonathan Gratch on "something" with virtual humans -the subject was not determined beforehand.Instead I was working with a crazy, enthusiastic French Canadian guy who introduced me to listener behavior prediction, the topic I would be working on ever since.This first research experience also convinced me to pursue vi | Acknowledgements a career in research.Since then we continued to work together from time to time, which I really enjoy.Your push for perfection is inspiring.I'm glad you could be part of my graduation committee.I would also like to thank the other committee members for participating in my defense.De mensen van A.D.S.K.V. Slagvaardig wil ook bedanken voor het geven van een heerlijke uitlaatklep elke week op het knotsbal veld en de gezellige activiteiten er om heen.Ook naar de pokermiddagen met mijn vrienden van de middelbare school, de D&D weekenden met vrienden van de universiteit en barbecues met mijn ouddoegroepgenoten kijk ik altijd weer uit en ik ben blij dat we deze tradities nog steeds in stand weten te houden.Bavelas et al. [7] make the distinction between generic and specific listener responses.In this distinction the generic listener responses are not specifically connected to what the speaker is saying.One could easily interchange one generic listener response with another and both would be equally appropriate.The main function of these generic listener responses is to signal attendence and a general notion of understanding to let the speaker know he/she can continue.Typical generic listener responses include nods and minimal verbal utterance such as "mm-hmm" or "yeah".The focus of the thesis is on this generic type of listener responses, as the head nods and vocalizations in the corpus recorded for this thesis are all of the this type.The specific listener responses in this distinction are tightly connected to what the speaker is saying.These listener responses give an assessment of what has been

Analyses showed that there are places in the speech where only one or two listeners respond with a backchannel but also places where all three listeners responded.
“Analyses showed that there are places in the speech where only one or two listeners respond with a backchannel but that there are also places where all three listeners responded (de Kok, 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
