Research done by the Rochester Human-Computer Interaction (ROC HCI) was highlighted by the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) of the Computing Research Association (CRA) in their “Great Innovative Ideas” series for December 2018.

The series highlights the work that group has done in applying machine learning techniques to analyze and model the complex nuances and interplay of verbal language, facial expressions, gestures, and intonation in human communication. This work has led to his group’s development of several AI systems to assist diverse populations of people to improve their communication skills through interaction with online tools (see ROC Speak, LISSA, and CoCo).
