Abstract: Embodied agents benefit from using non-verbal behavior when communicating with humans. Despite several decades of non-verbal behavior-generation research, there is currently no well-developed benchmarking culture in the field. For example, most researchers do not compare their outcomes with previous work, and if they do, they often do so in their own way which frequently is incompatible with others. With the GENEA Workshop 2022, we aim to bring the community together to discuss key challenges and solutions, and find the most appropriate ways to move the field forward.
