Multimodal Analysis of Patient–Nurse Interactions During Inpatient Discharge Education: A Pilot Comparison of Bedside and Virtual Nursing Modalities
Abstract Background: The ongoing nursing shortage, COVID-19 pandemic, and advances in healthcare technology have accelerated the adoption of Virtual Nursing Care Models (VNCM) in inpatient settings. Although virtual nurses improve staffing efficiency, there is limited evidence on how patients interact and communicate during virtual and bedside nurse discharge education. Objective: This study examined differences in […]

Interpretable Multimodal Classification with Linear Discriminant Tree Ensembles
Multimodal affect and behaviour classifiers that fuse heterogeneous text, audio, and visual streams must simultaneously achieve competitive accuracy and produce human-understandable explanations of the cues driving their decisions — a dual objective that current high-capacity models, notably Transformers, only partially address. While Transformers attain strong predictive performance, their distributed representations and deep nonlinearity make it […]

Poker face and steady voice: Gender and reactions to emotional neutrality in crowdfunding
University of St. Gallen + 4 more
While emotional neutrality (e.g., maintaining a neutral face, speaking with a calm voice) can help entrepreneurs project a sought-after image of rationality, the effectiveness of such displays is context-dependent and gendered.

ROGER:Visualizing Voice Records to Enhance Team Communication Trainings for High-Stress Situations
AIT Austrian Institute of Technology + 1 more
Effective communication is essential in high-stress environments but stress often disrupts the flow of information and leads to miscommunication. While scenario-based training exercises are widely used, post-hoc reflection and analysis of verbal interactions remain challenging due to overlapping speech, limited analysis time, and the dynamic nature of these situations. This paper introduces ROGER, a novel […]

It’s not only what is said, but how: how user-expressed emotions predict satisfaction with voice assistants in different contexts
Universitat Ramon Llull + 2 more
Purpose Voice assistants (VAs) have reshaped customer service by offering new interaction channels. This study explores how user-expressed emotions during interactions with multimodal and voice-only devices across different contexts affect satisfaction. Capturing user emotions via voice tone and speech content analysis, we show that both device type and usage context are crucial in shaping user […]
