We present WoNoWa, a novel multi-modal dataset of small group interactions in collaborative tasks. The dataset is explicitly designed to elicit and to study over time a Transactive Memory System (TMS), a group's emergent state characterizing the group's meta-knowledge about "who knows what". A rich set of automatic features and manual annotations, extracted from the collected audio-visual data, is available on request for research purposes. Features include individual descriptors (e.g., position, Quantity of Motion, speech activity) and group descriptors (e.g., F-formations). Additionally, participants' self-assessments are available. Preliminary results from exploratory analyses show that the WoNoWa design allowed groups to develop a TMS that increased across the tasks. These results encourage the use of the WoNoWa dataset for a better understanding of the relationship between behavioural patterns and TMS, that in turn could help to improve group performance.

Abstract
We present WoNoWa, a novel multi-modal dataset of small group interactions in collaborative tasks. The dataset is explicitly designed to elicit and to study over time a Transactive Memory System (TMS), a group's emergent state characterizing the group's meta-knowledge about "who knows what". A rich set of automatic features and manual annotations, extracted from the collected audio-visual data, is available on request for research purposes. Features include individual descriptors (e.g., position, Quantity of Motion, speech activity) and group descriptors (e.g., F-formations). Additionally, participants' self-assessments are available. Preliminary results from exploratory analyses show that the WoNoWa design allowed groups to develop a TMS that increased across the tasks. These results encourage the use of the WoNoWa dataset for a better understanding of the relationship between behavioural patterns and TMS, that in turn could help to improve group performance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
