Computational and Quantitative Approaches to Multimodal Video Analysis - CAMVA 2023

In the workshop, we would like to support an exchange of ideas and approaches that could expand our understanding of how computational methods could complement qualitative analyses, and also how computational approaches could benefit from theoretical insights. We therefore invite empirical as well as theoretical contributions that describe or reflect the use of quantitative or computational tools in the context of multimodal analyses of interaction. These can cover human interactions, including speech, embodied conduct and sign language, including film and documentary recordings.

Language and Space Lab

Labs

The Language and Space Lab is the core unit of the URPP engaged in advancing laboratory-style, interdisciplinary approach to the study of language. We study how language is shaped by the space in which it is used, from individual interactions to global geographical patterns.
