MSc. Project on Speaker identity modeling with deep learning for re-identification Short description: Speaker identification is the task that aims at determining which speaker has produced a given utterance [1]. On the other hand, speaker verification or re-identification aims at determining whether there is a match between a given speech utterance and a target speaker …

MSc. Project on Coupled Audio-visual Multi-speaker Tracking Short description: Multi-speaker tracking has been widely investigated and the Perception team contributed with a consistent methodological framework based on variational Bayes techniques [1-4]. Often, audio-visual tracking methods first map all auditory and visual information in the same space, to later on run a tracking algorithm. However, in …

MSc project on “Gazeable Objects” Duration: about 6 months Short description: Gaze is the direction towards which a person is looking. The automatic estimation of the gaze from a single image and from videos has been a hot research topic in previous years [1-4]. Often, researchers studied gaze from a human-centered perspective, trying to answer the …

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 …

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 …
