SUMMARY:WARA Media and Language webinar: Probabilistic locomotion animation with normalising flows
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to this webinar arranged by WARA Media and Language where Gustav Eje Henter\, WASP assistant professor at the Division of Speech\, Music and Hearing at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, will talk about MoGlow\, a new\, award-winning deep-learning architecture that leverages normalising flows. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register using the link below. \nAbstract\nData-driven character animation holds great promise for enhancing realism and creativity in games\, film\, virtual avatars and social robots. However\, due to the high bar on visual quality\, most existing AI animation solutions focus narrowly on a specific task\, and do not generalise to different motion types. \nThis talk makes the case that 1) machine learning now has advanced far enough that strong\, task-agnostic motion models are possible\, and that 2) these models should be probabilistic in nature\, to accommodate the great diversity in how behaviours can be realised. We present MoGlow\, a new\, award-winning deep-learning architecture that leverages normalising flows and satisfies our two desired criteria. Experiments show that MoGlow is competitive with the state-of-the-art in locomotion generation for both humans and dogs. \nFor a longer introduction showing our models in action\, please see the following video: MoGlow: Probabilistic and controllable motion synthesis using normalising flows \nBio Gustav Eje Henter\nGustav Eje Henter is a WASP assistant professor in machine learning at the Division of Speech\, Music and Hearing at KTH. His main research interests are probabilistic modelling and deep learning for data-generation tasks\, especially speech and motion/animation synthesis. \nHe has an MSc and a PhD from KTH\, followed by post-docs in speech synthesis at the Centre for Speech Technology Research at the University of Edinburgh\, UK\, and in Prof. Junichi Yamagishi’s lab at the National Institute of Informatics\, Tokyo\, Japan\, before returning to KTH in 2018.

SUMMARY:WARA Media and Language webinar: Developing and evaluating data-driven models for co-speech gesture-synthesis
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to this webinar arranged by WARA Media and Language where Taras Kucherenko\, Research Scientist at EA Games\, will talk about generation and evaluation of co-speech gestures for embodied conversational agents using deep learning. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register using the link below. \nAbstract\nHumans use non-verbal behaviors to signal their intent\, emotions\, and attitudes in human-human interactions. Embodied conversational agents (ECA)\, therefore\, need this ability as well in order to make interaction pleasant and efficient. An essential part of non-verbal communication is gesticulation. The task of hand gesture generation has been initially approached mainly by rule-based methods\, but current state-of-the-art methods are data-driven\, and we continue this line of research. In this talk\, I will present my work addressing the two components of my thesis: generation and evaluation of co-speech gestures for embodied conversational agents using deep learning. \nBio Taras Kucherenko\nTaras Kucherenko is currently a Research Scientist at EA Games. Recently he finished a Ph.D. at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. His research is on machine learning models for non-verbal behavior generation\, such as hand gestures and facial expressions. For his research papers\, he received ICMI 2020 Best Paper Award and IVA 2020 Best Paper Award. Taras was also the main organizer of The GENEA (Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behavior for Embodied Agents) Workshop both in 2020 and in 2021.

SUMMARY:Launching WASP Research Arenas 2.0
DESCRIPTION:WASP invites industries and researchers to the launch of WARA 2.0\, introducing the updated concept\, news from all five arenas and a glimpse of what is to come. \nWASP Research Arenas (WARAs) are research collaboration platforms gathering researchers from academia and industry. Through the arenas\, the participating researchers gain exclusive access to infrastructures\, resources and competence in a context that facilitates networking and promotes knowledge transfer. \nDuring 2020 the concept of WASP Research Arenas has been rewritten\, resulting in several new\, state of the art research arenas. The new concept and arenas will officially be launched at this webinar. \nProgram\nOpening – Anders Ynnerman\, WASP Program Director\, Linköping University \nWARA 2.0 – Torbjörn Lundahl\, WARA Director\, Ericsson Research\nPresentation of the overall objective with the WARA initiative\, description of the concept and criteria for establishing WARA\, and how to propose and get approval for an arena. \nWARA Common – Johan Eker\, Ericsson Research\nWARA-common is a data center and cloud provider open for WASP researchers to build and operate their services\, deploy large scale computations\, or use in education. We also collect metrics and logs from the full cloud stack and the facilities\, for use in research projects on data-driven operations together with Ericsson. \nWARA Public Safety – Jesper Tordenlid\, Saab\nIn WARA Public Safety we provide a large scale and industrially relevant demonstration environment where heterogeneous Systems of Systems collaborate to solve tasks within Public Safety. You have access to unique autonomous vehicles and sensors in the air\, on water\, on ground and underwater as well as experienced engineers and real users. The coastal environment and scenarios within search & rescue and transportation\, offers challenges relevant for many domains. \nWARA Robotics – Jonas Larsson\, ABB Corporate Research\nThe WARA will include a multitude of manipulation tasks to give a rich set of research problems in an environment that enables robots to navigate and perform manufacturing-relevant manipulation tasks. Under realistic deployment conditions this require robots to autonomously understand the world around them\, to build knowledge incrementally\, learn new skills\, perform them safely and reliably\, and adapt to changes in the environment and humans’ behavior. \nWARA Software – Christoph Reichenbach\, Lund University\nThe WARA for Software connects software technology research between academia and industry.  Its activities focus on understanding and growing the utility of modern tools for building and improving software in the Swedish industry. The WARA constructs benchmarks and platforms for evaluating software tools\, and supports WASP PhD students in both exploiting and advancing the state of the art in software technology. \nWARA Media  – Johanna Björklund\, Umeå University\nThe mission of WARA Media is to foster a community around Media AI\, that cuts across scientific fields and industry sectors.  The research topics cover generation and classification of media\, augmentation and replication of human communication and control\, and finally verification and validation. We welcome new participants from the WASP community and the Swedish industries – please connect if interested. \nWARA NLP – Salla Franzén\, SEB\nNatural Language Processing is a foundational research area and an enabler for human machine interaction\, process automation and many other applications. The aim of the WARA NLP under planning is twofold. Firstly\, to develop a community for academic\, industrial and governmental organizations with interests in NLP applications and base research. Secondly\, to generate high-quality research in NLP in areas of importance for the WARA participants and society\, such as training large-scale language models for Nordic languages with federated learning and adapter models for transfer learning. \nInformation\nThe event will be held in English. \nDate: March 10\, 2021 \nTime: 13:15–14:15 (GMT +1) \nContact\nAny questions regarding this event can be sent to: info@wasp-sweden.org
