Investigation of social behavior in mice is increasingly relevant to understand associated brain circuits and thereby develop treatments for psychiatric symptoms such as social withdrawal. Importantly, a data-driven description of social behavior and how the behavioral repertoire of mice differs in solitary vs. social context is lacking. Here, we aim to identify, in a data-driven manner, recurring behavioral patterns (“syllables”) that are unique to social and solitary contexts.We recorded videos of male C57BL/6j mice, in two epochs of 90 minutes duration, either in a social context (n=4) or i
