multimolang is a package designed to support multimodal data analysis for linguistic research. It serves as the main repository for the MULTIFLOW project and provides tools to process, analyze, and derive insights from multimodal datasets, starting with gesture trajectories extracted from video data.
The first implemented tool, dfMaker
, processes raw OpenPose data into structured dataframes, optimized for large-scale, multimodal data science workflows. Future versions of multimolang will include additional tools for prosody analysis and multimodal language integration.
If you use multimolang
or any of its core functions (such as dfMaker
) in your research, please cite:

You can also retrieve the BibTeX entry by running in R:
# Install from CRAN install.packages("multimolang") # Or install using devtools devtools::install_github("daedalusLAB/multimolang")
For detailed installation instructions and usage examples, please refer to the package vignettes.
Currently, the main function in the package is dfMaker
, which provides:
# Define paths to example data included with the package input.folder <- system.file("extdata", "ex_videos", "o1", package = "multimolang") output.file <- file.path(tempdir(), "processed_data.csv") output.path <- tempdir() # Run dfMaker with example data df <- dfMaker( input.folder = input.folder, output.file = output.file, output.path = output.path, no_save = FALSE, fast_scaling = TRUE, transformation_coords = c(1, 1, 5, 5) ) # View the resulting data head(df)
Below is the current progress and pending tasks for multimolang:
Element Status Package Name Defined and unique in CRAN. DESCRIPTION File Complete with title, description, authors, maintainer, version, and dependencies. Documentation Complete for thedfMaker
function, with examples. NEWS File Not included; optional for the first version. Tests Implemented to ensure proper functionality. README Included here. Cross-Platform Compatibility Tested on Linux and Windows operating systems. Included Functions Includes dfMaker
; additional tools planned for multimodal analysis in future updates.
Note: Future updates will incorporate tools for prosody and voice analysis, as well as co-speech gesture processing.
The MULTIFLOW project investigates the interplay between gesture, prosody, and language to uncover multimodal signatures in communication. Learn more about our research and goals.
