Social skills for digital humans

If anything, the Covid pandemic taught us that real-life interactions couldn’t be replaced by digital ones. This is just one of the reasons why Chirag Raman, assistant professor in the Pattern Recognition and Bioinformatics group, wants digital agents or avatars to interact with humans in a more seamless and lifelike manner. Using artificial intelligence and knowledge of human behaviour, he is teaching machines to understand and deploy human-like social intelligence – verbally, vocally and visually. At the horizon are technologies for a wide range of applications, from distance learning and e-healthcare to immersive games.
