 | | Our focus of research encompasses the domains of human psychology and cognitive sciences, computer graphics, computer vision and human-machine interaction to identify the factors that contribute to non-verbal communication of facial gestures, expressions and emotions in humans. | | | Facial animation is now attracting more attention than ever before in its 25 years of development. | | | The aim of this project is to implement a Facial Animation Markup Language to enable the control of the animated Talking Head to include facial expressions, gestures and emotions through the input text stream. |

| | In computer science and digital electronics, this term means an expression with two possible values, "true" and "false." The most common Boolean operators are AND, OR and NOT. | | | Each computer runs software to provide or "serve" information and/or to access and view information. | | | The language of the World Wide Web used to create Web pages, with hyperlinks and markup for text formatting (heading styles, bold, italic, numbered lists, insertion of images, etc.). |

| | My research interests include multi-view human face detection, tracking and recognition; realistic human face and body animation; human facial expression, lip motion, body language synthesis and virtual reality techniques. | | | Among the thirty-six facial expressions, the six "universal" facial expressions were designed based on optical analyses of movies of these expressions done at CMU [3]. | | | Smoothing algorithms are necessary to make transitions between facial expressions more natural. |

| Â | Interface Agent Markup Language |
| | The overall goal of Interface Agent Markup Language is to set users/designers free from constraints of various low level animation agents toolkits and to hide specific details about those low level platform from them. | | | Comprehensiveness: cover as many as features (functions) as possible supported by the current technology or low level animation engines and provide fine-grained control of the interface agent if the user needs. | | | XML creation: the markup text input to the system can be produced by user authoring as text files or provided by string variables in user's program. |

| Â | HumanMarkup.org: Press Coverage of HumanMarkup |
| | Human Markup is an XML-based, human-readable and machine-readable computer language created to fill the need for a standard description of uniquely human characteristics, concerns and issues that can be used in human-to-human and human-to-machine communications, interactions, exchanges and transactions in digital information systems. | | | As such, there are few human-related computing uses to which the Human Markup Language will not be germane or, even, essential. | | | HumanML is another one of those languages, which all derive ultimately from SGML, the Standard Graphics Markup Language, the ultimate ancestor of Markup Languages which was developed at about the same time as Unix. |

| Â | Face Modeling Language (FML), version 1.0 |
| | Many techniques, languages, and programming interfaces are proposed to let developers define their virtual scenes. | | | Such language can be considered a natural high-level abstraction on top of MPEG-4 FAPs and should be able to function as part of XMT framework. | | | FML is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) [1] and shares ideas and concepts with other standards, languages, and technologies. |

| | During synthesis, two unit sequences (i.e., sequences of speech intervals) are searched for: A phoneme match unit sequence (PMUS) whose phoneme labels match the input text, and a markup match sequence (MMUS) whose markup tags match the input text but whose phoneme labels only partially match the input text. | | | Current-generation automatic speech recognition systems are predicated on a dual-tiered framework of spoken language, in which words and phone(me)s are the basic units of recognition. | | | We have developed algorithms to combine the signals from both channels for speech detection and enhancement in non-stationary noisy environment. |

| | This project is aimed at defining and implementing tools that will be used for making man-machine interaction more effective and more natural through multimodal web interfaces and also shared or augmented environments. | | | The developmental factors argument involves the cases where the accents and mistakes made are comparable to those made by a child learning a language or those that cannot be linked directly to L1 interference (Major, 1987, p.190). | | | These tools include OpenGL, MPEG-4, VHML the Virtual Human Markup Language (VHML Homepage, 2001), which includes SML the Speech Markup Language; it also makes use of artificial intelligence and of a text-to-speech synthesiser (TTS). |

| | We need to persuade business of the importance of languages in the work force, perhaps by increasing work placements abroad and by the appointment of regional language champions to work with senior business people and with educators to promote language learning to adults at work. | | | The early learning language project is a unique project within a subject area and a unique collaboration with the Centre for Information on Language Teaching and Research (Cilt). | | | By doing that, children come to see that understanding a language means more than just learning words and phrases. |

| | Instead of machine vision for facial tick recognition which would be fairly computationaly heavy, why not just dump the idea and use subvocalisation for input? | | | So, an old floppy nose would be like a low voice: Sure, it would make each speaker unique but it shouldn't change the meaning of an utterance. |
