Talking Heads Brought to you by Philip Rubin and Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson |
|
The inspiration for this webpage was the
AVSP '97 meeting
(the European Tutorial and Workshop on Audio-Visual Speech Processing)
held in Rhodes (Greece), 26-27 September 1997.
This was a satellite meeting of the 5th
ESCA-organized
EuroSpeech '97 Conference
held in Rhodes on September 22-25, 1997.
Information is available for the AVSP '98 and AVSP '99 meetings.
This webpage provides an overview of the rapidly growing international effort to create talking heads (cognitive and computational models of audio-visual speech production), the historical antecedents of this effort, and related work. Links are provided (where possible) to the sites of some of the researchers who attended this conference, and to sites of many who did not, in an attempt to show the diversity and excitement of this research area. This website is dedicated with great love and appreciation to the memory of our friend, Christian Benoît.
(Notes: This webpage is presently under development and is very incomplete.
If you have corrections, changes, suggestions for additions, requests
for material to be removed, etc., please let us know.
In addition to serving as an overview of this research area, this site
is also designed as a working outline for a book presently being written
by Philip Rubin
and Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson.
