Congrats on my former research assistant Jiahui Huang on his latest paper in Sensors on 'Single Image Video Prediction with Auto-Regressive GANs'. Now we can generate videos of faces with desired emotions!

Full paper available here.

Huang, Jiahui, Yew Ken Chia, Samson Yu, Kevin Yee, Dennis Küster, Eva G. Krumhuber, Dorien Herremans, and Gemma Roig. "Single Image Video Prediction with Auto-Regressive GANs." Sensors 22, no. 9 (2022): 3533.

I recently had the pleasure to be featured in a Meet My Lab on "Mathematics & Music - A Synergetic Duo for Automatic Music Generation", together with Prof. Elaine Chew. These sessions are organized by Euraxess, European Commission. [scroll down for video]

Thao Phuong, PhD student supervised by Prof. Gemma Roig and myself just passed her preliminary exam! Thao's work is on predicting valence and arousal from both video as well as audio. Her multimodal models have been published (and some more under review). You can read about them here.

Phd student Thao Phuang's paper on "Multimodal Deep Models for Predicting Affective Responses Evoked by Movies" was awarded best student paper at the 2nd International Workshop on Computer Vision for Physiological Measurement as part of ICCV in Seoul, South Korea. The paper explores how models based on video and audio can predict emotion of movies:

Together with my PhD student Thao and Prof. Gemma Roig (MIT/Frankfurt University), a new paper was published on "Multimodal Deep Models for Predicting Affective Responses Evoked by Movies" in the Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Computer Vision for Physiological Measurement as part of ICCV. Seoul, South Korea. 2019. A preprint is available here.

Just published a new article with my PhD student Thao Ha Thi Phuong and Prof. Gemma Roig on 'Multimodal Deep Models for Predicting Affective Responses Evoked by Movies'. The paper will be published in the proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Computer Vision for Physiological Measurement as part of ICCV; and will be presented by Thao in Seoul, South Korea. Anybody interested can download the preprint article here (link coming soon!). The source code of our model is available on github.

A few months ago, Prof. Gemma Roig (PI, SUTD), Prof. Dorien Herremans (co-PI, SUTD), Dr. Kat Agres (co-PI, A*STAR) and Dr. Eran Gozy (co-PI, MIT, creator of Guitar Hero) got awarded a new grant from the International Design Center (joint research institute of MIT and SUTD) for 'An intelligent system for understanding and matching perceived emotion from video with music'. This is an exiting opportunity and the birth of our new Affective Computing Lab at SUTD that links the computer vision lab and AMAAI lab.
