    "title": "Applying Pattern-based Classification to Sequences of Gestures",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The pattern-based sequence classification system (PBSC)\nidentifies regularly occurring patterns in collections of sequences\nand uses these patterns to predict meta-information.\nThis automated system has been proven useful in identifying\npatterns in written language and musical notations. To illustrate\nthe wide applicability of this approach, we classify symbolic\nrepresentations of speech-accompanying gestures produced\nby adults in order to predict their level of empathy. Previous\nresearch that focused on isolated gestures has shown\nthat the frequency and salience with which individuals produce\ncertain speech-accompanying gestures are related to empathy.\nThe current research extends these analyses of single\ngestures by investigating the relationship between the frequency\nof multi-gesture sequences of speech-accompanying\ngestures and empathy. The results show that patterns found in\nmulti-gesture sequences prove to be more useful for predicting\nempathy levels in adults than patterns found in single gestures.\nThis paper thus demonstrates that sequences of gestures\ncontain additional information compared to gestures in isolation,\nsuggesting that empathic people structure their gestural\nsequences differently than less empathic people. More importantly,\nthis study introduces PBSC as an innovative, effective\nmethod to incorporate time as an extra dimension in gestural\ncommunication, which can be extended to a wide range of sequential\nmodalities.",
