Popis: Smiles and laughs have been the subject of many studies over the past decades, due to their frequent occurrence in interactions, as well as their social and emotional functions in dyadic conversations. In this paper we push forward previous work by providing a first study on the influence one interacting partner’s smiles and laughs have on their interlocutor’s, taking into account these expressions’ intensities. Our second contribution is a study on the patterns of laugh and smile sequences during the dialogs, again taking the intensity into account. Finally, we discuss the effect of the interlocutor’s role on smiling and laughing. In order to achieve this, we use a database of naturalistic dyadic conversations which was collected and annotated for the purpose of this study. The details of the collection and annotation are also reported here to enable reproduction.
