Audio-Visual Analysis in the Framework of Humans Interacting with Robots
PhD defense by Israel D. Gebru Friday 13 April 2018, 9:30 – 10:30, Grand Amphithéatre INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, Montbonnot Saint-Martin In recent years, there has been a growing interest in human-robot interaction (HRI), with the aim to enable robots to naturally interact and communicate with humans. Natural interaction implies that robots not only need to …

Biosignal-based speech processing for communication rehabilitation
Seminar by Thomas Hueber, CNRS, GIPSA-lab, Grenoble Thursday 8 February, 10:00 – 11:00, room F107 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin Abstract. Propelled by the progress of machine learning, speech technologies such as automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis have become enough advanced to be deployed in several consumer products and used in our daily lives. However, using …

A Bayesian Framework for Head Pose Estimation and Tracking
PhD defense by Vincent Drouard Monday 18 December 2017, 11:00 – 12:00, Grand Amphithéatre INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin In this thesis, we address the well-known problem of head-pose estimation in the context of human-robot interaction (HRI). We accomplish this task in a two step approach. First, we focus on the estimation of the head pose from …

Towards automatic learning of gait signatures for people identification in video
Seminar by Manuel J. Marin-Jimenez, Universidad de Córdoba Tuesday 19 December 2017, 11:00 – 12:00, room F107 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin Abstract: This talk targets people identification in video based on the way they walk (i.e. gait). While classical methods typically derive gait signatures from sequences of binary silhouettes, in this talk we present the use …

Audio-Visual Analysis for Human-Robot Interaction
Data Science Seminar Series, 12 Octobrer 2017 Radu Horaud Abstract: Robots have gradually moved from factory floors to populated spaces. Therefore, there is a crucial need to endow robots with communicative skills. One of the prerequisites of human-robot communication (or more generally, interaction) is the ability of robots to perceive their environment, to detect people, …

Reinforcement approaches for online learning of virtual vocal conversational agents
Seminar by Fabrice Lefèvre, Université d’Avignon Room C207 9:30 – 11:00 Abstract: Stochastic techniques, supervised or not, or by reinforcement, are now largely spread on every modules intervening in academic systems of human-machine dialog. Current researches strive to improve even further their quality to reach satisfying and acceptable global performance. A major default remains …
