Title
Head Matters: Explainable Human-centered Trait Prediction from Head Motion Dynamics
Abstract
ABSTRACT We demonstrate the utility of elementary head-motion units termed kinemes for behavioral analytics to predict personality and interview traits. Transforming head-motion patterns into a sequence of kinemes facilitates discovery of latent temporal signatures characterizing the targeted traits, thereby enabling both efficient and explainable trait prediction. Utilizing Kinemes and Facial Action Coding System (FACS) features to predict (a) OCEAN personality traits on the First Impressions Candidate Screening videos, and (b) Interview traits on the MIT dataset, we note that: (1) A Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) network trained with kineme sequences performs better than or similar to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained with facial images; (2) Accurate predictions and explanations are achieved on combining FACS action units (AUs) with kinemes, and (3) Prediction performance is affected by the time-length over which head and facial movements are observed.
