■論文概要
This paper focuses on multimodal analysis in multiple discussion types dataset for estimating BigFive personality traits. The study was conducted to achieve two goals: First, clarifying the effectiveness of multimodal features and communication skill indices to predict the BigFive personality traits. Second, identifying the relationship among multimodal features, discussion type, and the BigFive personality traits. The experimental results showed that communication skill indices are essential in estimating the agreeableness trait. In addition, the scope and freedom of conversation affected the performance of personality traits estimator. The freer a discussion is, the better personality traits estimator can be obtained.

■受賞にあたっての一言
It was a great honor to receive this best paper award in HCI International 2019. Foremost, I would like to appreciate the great effort, guidance, and support from Prof. Shogo Okada for letting me conduct my minor research under his supervision. My sincere gratitude also goes to Prof. Yukiko Nakano and Prof. Masashi Unoki for their supports and insightful comments. Although it was quite different from my field of study, I enjoyed every moment in doing my minor research as I could have a broader knowledge. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family for always encouraging and praying for me. I hope this award can motivate me to do better in the future.
