Cracking the code of the unspoken language
The NOVICOM project, led by Oya Aran as Marie Curie Research Fellow and Daniel Gatica-Perez as Scientist in Charge, was featured today as a Project Story on
the European Commission Horizon 2020 website.
Oya is currently a SNSF Ambizione Research Fellow at the Social Computing Group at Idiap.
Marie Curie research fellow, Oya Aran, has paved the way for the development of computer techniques that could automatically reveal meaning from body language and other visual cues, predict people's mood and help improve, she says, “collective decision-making”. The scientist studied 100 people interacting in small groups, using computer vision, audio processing and “machine learning” to detect dominance and emergent leadership.
