Meet our interdisciplinary team from #computerscience #psychology and #educationaltechology working
@dfki to advance research in #affectivecomputing
@PatrickGebhard @fnunnari TanjaSchneeberger Dimitra Tsovaltzi do a great job bringing #ai + #emotions to empathic virtual agents
Have you ever thought about how to make #SociallyInteractiveAgents behave more diversely? How they should adapt their #bodylanguage to their interaction partner like humans? 🤖

We did as well! In this newly published paper, the authors introduce the #ModelIT method, that allows researchers to anchor nonverbal behavior modeling in psychological theories. They argue for a more tailored and inclusive approach for modeling nonverbal behavior 👥

Give the paper a read and follow the step by step guide for diverse and accessible #VirtualAgents !📚

Exciting news! The paper "Multimodal Recognition of Valence, Arousal and Dominance via Late-Fusion of Text, Audio and Facial Expressions" was accepted for presentation at the #ESANN2023 conference🎉

This fascinating paper with two authors from our #affectivecomputing group presents a system to estimate #valence, #arousal and #dominance of a person conveying a message in a sentence while using three #inputmodalities (video of the face, voice, and text)

As part of the @EASIERproject, this research is meant to be included in spoken to #signlanguage translation systems where the predictions will be used to fine-tune motions of a synthetic #avatar 👤
Congratulations to all co-authors!

Here's to cross-disciplinary bonds! 🤝
On 25-26 Sept 2023, we took part in the @EASIERproject Sign Language Autumn School. This 2-day event united different #signlanguage practitioners.
Linguists and engineers came together to share knowledge and perspectives💡
#affectivedfki
It's good to stay in touch...
In a cooperation with former group member @B_Hilpert, a fascinating paper on Affective Processing Capabilities Emerging from #LargeLanguageModels received an honorary mention at @acii_conf
Congrats! 👏🏼

Can #virtualagents understand and use sign language?
We were able to use #motionenergyanalysis to align videos of #signlanguage with corresponding motion capture data.
Fabrizio Nunnari presented this paper at the #SLTAT2023 workshop at @ieeeICASSP 👏🏼

Is there backlash towards female virtual agents?
We are thrilled to announce Janet Wessler will present her paper on #virtualbacklash tomorrow at #IVA22 👏🏻
Find out all about #nonverbalexpression of dominance at 9:30 am! See you there!
@ACM_IVA #affectivedfki #faro
The Affective Computing Group is happy to announce that we will be at #isre22 with three publications! 👏🏻
We anticipate a fantastic conference with lots of amazing scientific dialogue. Hope to meet you there! 👥

The ACG is engaging in scientific community work! We were happy to co-organize very successful sessions at the annual meeting of the international society of the learning sciences (ISLS), June 2022, Hiroshima @isls2022 👏🏻

The main goal of the symposium was to reflect upon and promote a non-defensive but emotional investment, to keep an eye on rationalisations of discriminating acts, and broaden perspectives and practices in the learning sciences

Feel free to check out the full paper to further create a space to wrestle with the society's initiative to promote structural change and meaningful epistemic expansion 👥
