• Abstract: The generic fluidity observed in the nature of political protest movements across the world during the last decade weigh heavily with the presence of social media. As such, there is a possibility to study the contemporary movements with an interdisciplinary approach combining computational analytics with social science perspectives. The present study has put efforts to understand such dynamics in the context of the ongoing nationwide movement in India opposing the NRC-CAA enactment. The transformative nature of individual discontent into collective mobilization, especially with a reflective intervention in social media across a sensitive region of the nation state, is presented here with a combination of qualitative (fieldwork) and quantitative (computing) techniques. The study is augmented further by the primary data generation coupled with real-time application of analytical approaches.

  Spanning from 2018 to 2022, our analysis of Twitter data allows us to capture pivotal shifts and developments in Pakistan's political arena. By examining interactions and content generated by politicians affiliated with major political parties, we reveal a consistent and active presence of politicians on Twitter. Our analysis also uncovers significant shifts in political affiliations, including the transition of politicians to the opposition alliance.

  Human motion generation aims to generate natural human pose sequences and shows immense potential for real-world applications. Most research within this field focuses on generating human motions based on conditional signals, such as text, audio, and scene contexts. We present a comprehensive literature review of human motion generation, which is the first of its kind in this field.

  We aim to identify the nonverbal cues and computational methodologies resulting in effective performance. This survey differs from its counterparts by involving the widest spectrum of social phenomena and interaction settings. Some major observations are: the most often used nonverbal cue, computational method, interaction environment, and sensing approach are speaking activity, support vector machines, and meetings composed of 3-4 persons equipped with microphones and cameras, respectively.

  Non-verbal social human behavior forecasting has increasingly attracted the interest of the research community in recent years. Its direct applications to human-robot interaction and socially-aware human motion generation make it a very attractive field. We define the behavior forecasting problem for multiple interactive agents in a generic way that aims at unifying the fields of social signals prediction and human motion forecasting.
