The Next Step in AI: Multimodal Perception | Louis-Philippe Morency | TEDxCMU

Human face-to-face communication is a little like a dance: participants continuously adjust their behaviors based on their interlocutor’s speech, gestures and facial expressions. These multimodal behaviors are a reflection of our emotional and psychological state. Louis-Philippe Morency presents new artificial intelligence research that leverages this multimodal dance to help mental health professionals make diagnoses or treatment decisions.
Professor Morency is a tenure-track faculty member at the CMU Language Technology Institute where he leads the Multimodal Communication and Machine Learning Laboratory (MultiComp Lab). His research focuses on building the computational foundations to enable computers with the abilities to analyze, recognize and predict subtle human communicative behaviors during social interactions.
