Computational Study of Nonverbal Social Communication

The goal of my research is to recognize, model and predict human nonverbal behavior in the context of interaction with virtual humans, robots and other human participants. At the core of this research field is the need for new computational models of human interaction emphasizing the multi-modal, multi-participant and multi-behavior aspects of human behavior. This multi-disciplinary research topic overlaps the fields of multi-modal interaction, social psychology, computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and has many applications in areas as diverse as medicine, robotics and education.

Computer vision: visual gesture recognition, motion tracking, facial expression.
Human-computer interaction: robot interactions, intelligent virtual agents.
Machine learning: Markov random fields, Latent conditional models.
Multimodal interfaces: Multimodal fusion, Context-based recognition.
