This REU project is focused on characterizing human emotion through a combination of speech analysis, posture monitoring, and machine learning.
This REU project is focused on characterizing human emotion through a combination of speech analysis, posture monitoring, and machine learning. The research training experience will center around a toolkit for monitoring human emotion during multi-party conversations. The associated uses are broad, ranging from clinical use, to mediation support, to emotional intelligence training. REU participants will work as part of a small team to design, implement, and evaluate a prototype of this toolkit. Participants will gain a variety of skills, ranging from speech processing, to motion tracking, to neural networks and machine learning.
