We hypothesize that the difference in individual nonverbal features between emergent leaders and non-emergent leaders is significant and measurable using speech activity. Our results on a new interaction corpus show that such an approach is promising, identifying the emergent leader with an accuracy of up to 80%Emergent leadershipNonverbal behaviorSpeech activitytext::conference output::conference paper not in proceedings
