Dana Kulic Seminar, Motion analysis and segmentation, April the 28th.
Dana’s work, as lead of the Adaptive Systems Laboratory at the University of Waterloo, CA, has focused on the analysis of human movement in a variety of applications, including human-robot interaction, rehabilitation and sports training, and interactive architectural and sculptural installations.
PhD defense : Marc Dupont: Glove-based gesture recognition for real-time outdoors robot control, 28th March, 2017.
Although gesture recognition has been studied for several decades, much research stays in the realm of indoors laboratory experiments. In this thesis, we address the problem of designing a truly usable, real- world gesture recognition system, focusing mainly on the real-time control of an outdoors robot for use by military…
PhD defense : Raheel Qader: Pronunciation and disfluency modeling for expressive speech synthesis, 31st March, 2017.
In this thesis, we address the problem of expressivity in Text-To-Speech (TTS) by incorporating two phenomena with a high impact on speech: pronunciation variants and speech disfluencies. In the first part of this thesis, we present a pronunciation variant generation method which works by adapting standard, i.e., dictionary-based, pronunciations to…

Project TREMoLo accepted by ANR
Project TREMoLo got accepted for funding by the French national research agency (ANR). TREMoLo studies the use of language registers and seeks to develop automatic methods towards the transformation of texts from a register to another. To do so, the project proposes to extract linguistic patterns which discriminate a register…
PhD defense : Pamela Carreno Medrano : Analysis and Synthesis of Expressive Theatrical Movements, 25th November, 2016.
This thesis addresses the analysis and generation of expressive movements for virtual human characters. Based on previous results from three different research areas (perception of emotions and biological motion, automatic recognition of affect and computer character animation), a low-dimensional motion representation is proposed. This representations consists of the spatio-temporal trajectories…
