Yes, this is so cringey! The power dynamic, with the boss man + woman-presenting voice… So many HRI papers that have gone into why this sucks and also suggestions on what to do instead, cf. work by @KatieJWinkle and others

Thank you very much for the reply and links! From a data-driven perspective, the ~7 basic emotions seem to have too much variety within each class (cf. work by @LFeldmanBarrett

By
–
Completely agree about labels! I would argue that SMPL is fantastic for low-level control, but that there is a huge gap between this and high level style or emotions. Since 2017, I've been trying to figure out these social signal labels, but how to get them to the CV community?

I am an AI person who had to self-teach (thanks to post-docs, psychology and stats dual degree students) HCI methods and evaluations, and it is a big hurdle to overcome. Learned the hard way through rejections about validated measures, etc. Collaboration is great!
