tional group dynamics from nonverbal cues extracted from
thin-slices of interaction. We first propose and analyze a
novel thin-slice interaction descriptor - a bag of group non-
verbal patterns - which robustly captures the turn-taking
behavior of the members of a group while integrating its
leader{\^{a}}€™s position. We then rely on probabilistic topic mod-
eling of the interaction descriptors which, in a fully unsu-
pervised way, is able to discover group interaction patterns
that resemble prototypical leadership styles proposed in so-
cial psychology. Our method, validated on the Augmented
Multi-Party Interaction (AMI) meeting corpus, facilitates
the retrieval of group conversational segments where seman-
tically meaningful group behaviours emerge, without the
need of any previous labeling.},
