In collaboration with Takayuki Nagai Laboratory and Tomoaki Nakamura Laboratory of Telecommunications University and Dainippon Printing Co., Ltd., AI (artificial intelligence) automatically generates responses and gestures according to human words, facial expressions, and gestures. Started research on "expression AI".
As a method for AI to learn concepts autonomously, Telecommunications University will grow autonomously by analyzing the correlation with different partners while observing and acting on the surrounding situation, similar to the human growth process. While conducting research on "symbol creation robotics," Dainippon Printing Co., Ltd. built an "intelligent communication platform *" that supports the smooth exchange of information between humans and various information devices in November 2014. I have proceeded from.
Through this joint research, both parties, who have been conducting research on AI, will automatically analyze the situation of the other party from human gestures, facial expressions, and language, and automatically analyze the text information (language) and gestures to respond. Aim to develop "expression AI" to be generated in.
The first thing we will work on is "development of a library that automatically generates gestures from sentences."By "unsupervised learning system *" that extracts words and gestures that automatically respond from a large amount of human video information, we build a model that analyzes the correlation and make it a language without manual setting. Make it possible to automatically generate appropriate gesture expressions that match.Next, we aim to reproduce the generated "gesture information" on information devices with different shapes, such as communication robots, and put the automatic generation of gesture expressions into practical use.
Based on this joint research, the University of Electro-Communications will develop a more generalized "expression AI" research on how AI has the concept of itself and how to express itself.
* Intelligent communication platform is a system that aims to realize natural and witty dialogue between people and various information devices by using the voice recognition function and the intelligent processing function necessary for communication such as ideas and dialogues. ..
* Unsupervised learning system is a method that automatically analyzes a huge amount of data and derives rules and trends from the calculated features.
