{"_id":"55911","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"According to the Entropy Rate Constancy (ERC) principle, the information density of a text is approximately constant over its length. Whether this principle also applies to nonverbal communication signals is still under investigation. We perform empirical analyses of video-recorded dialogue data and investigate whether listener gaze, as an important nonverbal communication signal, adheres to the ERC principle. Results show (1) that the ERC principle holds for listener gaze; and (2) that the two linguistic factors syntactic complexity and turn transition potential are weakly correlated with local entropy of listener gaze."}],"status":"public","page":"3533–3545","title":"How much does nonverbal communication conform to entropy rate constancy?: A case study on listener gaze in interaction","oa":"1","user_id":"76456","conference":{"location":"Bangkok, Thailand","name":"62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics"},"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-acl.210/"}],"type":"conference","year":"2024","place":"Bangkok, Thailand","date_updated":"2024-08-30T07:49:33Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Yu","full_name":"Wang, Yu"},{"full_name":"Xu, Yang","first_name":"Yang","last_name":"Xu"},{"full_name":"Skantze, Gabriel","first_name":"Gabriel","last_name":"Skantze"},{"full_name":"Buschmeier, Hendrik","first_name":"Hendrik","last_name":"Buschmeier"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Wang, Yu, Yang Xu, Gabriel Skantze, and Hendrik Buschmeier. “How Much Does Nonverbal Communication Conform to Entropy Rate Constancy?: A Case Study on Listener Gaze in Interaction.” In <i>Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics ACL 2024</i>, 3533–3545.
