Our paper “Speaker gaze and disfluencies during storytelling toward a robot or a human: The role of partner type and temperamental shyness” by Nils Tolksdorf and Adriana Hanulíková has been accepted for the workshop “Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face Dialogue (MINT)” at the 2026 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). The paper examines gaze behavior and pausing during storytelling to a social robot versus a human listener, as well as the role of temperamental shyness.
