Abstract: Non-verbal behavior offers significant benefits for embodied agents in human interactions. Despite extensive research on the creation of non-verbal behaviors, the field lacks a standardized benchmarking practice. Researchers rarely compare their findings with previous studies, and when they do, the comparisons are often not aligned with other methodologies. The GENEA Workshop 2024 aims to unite the community to discuss major challenges and solutions, and to determine the most effective ways to advance the field.
