An articulatory speech synthesizer comprising a three-dimensional vocal tract model and a gesture-based concept for control of articulatory movements is introduced and discussed in...
The paper addresses the issue of making Virtual Humans unique and typical of some (social or ethnical) group, by endowing them with style. First a conceptual framework of defining ...
Recent work investigating the interaction of the speech signal with the meaning of the verbal content has revealed interactions not yet modelled in either speech recognition techn...
This study investigates how the psychological notion of affordance, known from human computer interface design, can be adopted for the analysis and design of communication of a use...
This paper is dedicated to the description and the study of a new feature extraction approach for emotion recognition. Our contribution is based on the extraction and the character...
The organization of a computational control model of articulatory speech synthesis is outlined in this paper. The model is based on general principles of neurophysiology and cognit...
We introduce our research on anticipatory and coordinated interaction between a virtual human and a human partner. Rather than adhering to the turn taking paradigm, we choose to in...
