We show in particular how a system can learn to predict an intention to engage from multiple observations that are extracted from a visual analysis of people coming into the proximity of a system.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/learning-predict-engagement-spoken-dialog-system-open-world-settings/}, pages = {9}, }
