The LAST MINUTE Corpus as a Research Resource: From Signal Processing to Behavioral Analyses in User-Companion Interactions

The LAST MINUTE Corpus (LMC) is one of the rare examples of a corpus with naturalistic human-computer interactions. It offers richly annotated data from N total = 130 experiments in a number of modalities. In this paper we present results from various investigations with data from the LMC using several primary modalities, e.g. transcripts, audio, questionnaire data.
