Current standard practices for extracting useful behavioral \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Einformation from a video are typically difficult to replicate and \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Erequire a lot of human time. For example, extensive training is \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Etypically required for a human coder to reliably code a particular \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ebehavior\/interaction. Also, manual coding typically takes a lot more \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Etime than the actual length of the video. The time intensive nature of \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ethis process puts a strong limitation on the scalability of the study. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFurthermore, this makes it difficult for a third party to perform \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ereplication study.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address this issue, I have developed an efficient interactive \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Etracking and behavior retrieval system. These tools allow behavioral \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eresearchers\/clinicians to more easily extract relevant behavioral \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Einformation, and more objectively analyze behavioral data from videos. I \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ehave demonstrated that my behavior retrieval system achieve \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Estate-of-the-art performance in a preliminary experiment. In the \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eproposed work, I will perform a more thorough evaluation of this system \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eon a wider set of behaviors. I have also demonstrated that my \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Einteractive tracking system is able to produce high-precision tracking \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eresults with less human effort compared to the state-of-the-art. In the \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eproposed work, I will show how a proximity measure that is derived from \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ethe results of interactive tracking can be used to predict attachment \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eclassification in The Strange Situation, a protocol for studying infant \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eattachment security. In addition, I will also show how this measure \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eopens a new avenue of behavioral research by showing that it can be used \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eto quantify the consistency of infant behavior in the two reunion \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eepisodes in Strange Situation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Interactive Tracking and Action Retrieval to Support Human Behavior Analysis"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2015-06-16 08:56:04","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:12:14","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-06-16T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2015-06-16T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-06-16T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-06-16 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-06-16 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-06-16 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"208","name":"computing"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"913","name":"PhD"},{"id":"3395","name":"proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
