As with the results on gesture semantics, this suggests that multimodal meaning and meaning of iconic gesture relies heavily on speech, in accor- Figure 5: Featuring ranking according to coefficient values (weights assigned to the features, see (Lücking et al., 2010) for the details of the annotation scheme).
it remains unclear how to computationally derive the semantics of iconic gestures and build corresponding multimodal semantics together with the accompanying verbal content.
