 re\nCommunication skill is an important soft skill that candidates need an
 d what employers look for\, to succeed in teams. From candidate's point of
  view\, automatic feedback to aid behavior change is helpful\, and for int
 erviewers interviewing 100 is easier than 1000. Automatic methods to asses
 s and select candidates for an in depth interview or a training program is
  a relevant problem in social computing\, involving analysis of nonverbal 
 and verbal cues\, using speech\, spoken text and visual behavior analysis.
 \n\nIn our research\, we have systematically investigated Asynchronous Vid
 eo Interviews (AVIs) (starting to be widely deployed by companies like Hir
 evue) for interviewing\, vis-a-vis face-to-face interviews\, in terms of i
 nterviewer perception\, performance of automatic assessment methods and in
 terviewee setting preferences. Face-to-face interviews serve as benchmark 
 setting\, while AVIs are relatively new and less understood. Unlike Video 
 resumes which don't allow prompting\, AVIs are both scalable (i.e. can be 
 done anywhere anytime) and allow prompting. Later we have also compared sp
 oken vs written interviews - Written in text and hand written form. Apart 
 from this\, we will also discuss works on Automatic feedback prediction\, 
 and assessment in human agent interaction setting. This leads to automatic
  follow up question generation\, an interesting text generation problem. F
 inally\, we will conclude with some preliminary work in behavior generatio
 n in the context of Indian Sign Language Synthesis\, and show some demos o
 f the works discussed.\n\nBiography\nDr. Dinesh Babu Jayagopi is an Assist
 ant Professor at IIIT Bangalore since Dec 2013\, where he heads the Multim
 odal Perception Lab. Currently he is visiting Prof. Marianne Schmid Mast a
 t the University of Lausanne. His research interests are in Audio-Visual S
 ignal Processing\, Applied Machine Learning\, and Social Computing. He obt
 ained his doctorate from Ecole Polytechnic Federale Lausanne (EPFL)\, Swit
 zerland\, beginning of 2011\, working with Dr. Daniel Gatica Perez at Idia
 p. He continued for a Post doc on Human robot interactions\, working with 
 Daniel and Jean-Marc. He received the Outstanding paper award in the Inter
 national Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI)\, 2012\, Idiap PhD st
 udent research award for the year 2009. More recently\, his PhD student's 
 work was nominated for Best student paper in ICMI 2016 Tokyo\, Japan. Anot
 her work received Best student paper award at MedPRAI 2018. He also receiv
 ed Department of Science and Technology (DST) Young Scientist Start up Gra
 nt in 2016. In the past\, he has successfully collaborated and executed sp
 onsored research projects with CAIR\, DRDO (Defence Research and Developme
 nt Organization) and NI Systems.\n\n
