Topic People Description
Affective Computing Cigdem Beyan
Vittorio Murino
Focuses on designing systems that can detect, interpret, and respond to human internal states, including emotions, moods, motivations, and cognitive states as well as subtle cues like stress, attention levels, and engagement, using inputs from facial expressions, voice tone, physiological signals, and contextual behavior. The aim of affective computing is to enable technology to interact more naturally and empathetically, adapting responses based on a user’s inner state to improve user experience and engagement.
Social AI (Social signal processing) Cigdem Beyan
Vittorio Murino
Developing AI systems that can perceive, interpret, and respond to human social behaviors and interactions. This field combines knowledge from computer vision, multimedia, psychology, linguistics, and machine learning to enable machines to understand social signals, such as facial expressions, gestures, gaze, voice intonation, and body language. The aim is to create systems capable of engaging in socially aware interactions, recognizing human intentions and social dynamics, and adapting responses accordingly.
