       abstract = {An increasing awareness of the scientific and technological value of the automatic understanding of faceto-
face social interaction has motivated in the past few years a surge of interest in the devising of computational
techniques for conversational analysis. As an alternative to existing linguistic approaches for
the automatic analysis of conversations, a relatively recent domain is using findings in social cognition,
social psychology, and communication that have established the key role that nonverbal communication
plays in the formation, maintenance, and evolution of a number of fundamental social constructs, which
emerge from face-to-face interactions in time scales that range from short glimpses all the way to longterm
encounters. Small group conversations are a specific case on which much of this work has been conducted.
This paper reviews the existing literature on automatic analysis of small group conversations
using nonverbal communication, and aims at bridging the current fragmentation of the work in this
domain, currently split among half a dozen technical communities. The review is organized around the
main themes studied in the literature and discusses, in a comparative fashion, about 100 works addressing
problems related to the computational modeling of interaction management, internal states, personality
traits, and social relationships in small group conversations, along with pointers to the relevant
literature in social science. Some of the many open challenges and opportunities in this domain are also
discussed.},
