The talk describes a general approach of a genetic algorithm for multiple objective optimization problems. A particular dominance relation between the individuals of the population is used to define a fitness operator, enabling the genetic…
Multi-agent collaboration enhances the perception capabilities of individual agents through information sharing. However, in real-world applications, differences in sensors and models across heterogeneous agents inevitably lead to domain…
It has been widely recognized that the performance of a multi-agent system is highly affected by its organization. A large scale system may have billions of possible ways of organization, which makes it impractical to find an optimal choice…
With the advancement of neural generative capabilities, the art community has actively embraced GenAI (generative artificial intelligence) for creating painterly content. Large text-to-image models can quickly generate aesthetically…
Human emotional expression emerges through coordinated vocal, facial, and gestural signals. While speech face alignment is well established, the broader dynamics linking emotionally expressive speech to regional facial and hand motion…
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search-based optimization technique based on the principles of Genetics and Natural Selection. We present an algorithm which enhances the classical GA with input from quantum annealers. As in a classical GA,…
In a distributed system, Task Assignment Problem (TAP) is a key factor for obtaining efficiency. TAP illustrates the appropriate allocation of tasks to the processor of each computer. In this problem, the proposed methods up to now try to…
Emotion recognition is a classic field of research with a typical setup extracting features and feeding them through a classifier for prediction. On the other hand, generative models jointly capture the distributional relationship between…
Generating 3D-based body movements from speech shows great potential in extensive downstream applications, while it still suffers challenges in imitating realistic human movements. Predominant research efforts focus on end-to-end generation…
Deep neural network learning can be formulated as a non-convex optimization problem. Existing optimization algorithms, e.g., Adam, can learn the models fast, but may get stuck in local optima easily. In this paper, we introduce a novel…
Many important decisions in our everyday lives, such as authentication via biometric models, are made by Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. These can be in poor alignment with human expectations, and testing them on clear-cut existing…
There is an abundance of prior research on the optimization of production systems, but there is a research gap when it comes to optimizing which components should be included in a design, and how they should be connected. To overcome this…
We present a generative adversarial network to synthesize 3D pose sequences of co-speech upper-body gestures with appropriate affective expressions. Our network consists of two components: a generator to synthesize gestures from a joint…
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has ushered in a new era for storytellers, providing a powerful tool to ignite creativity and explore uncharted narrative territories. As technology continues to advance, the synergy between human…
As human-robot collaboration opportunities continue to expand, trust becomes ever more important for full engagement and utilization of robots. Affective trust, built on emotional relationship and interpersonal bonds is particularly…
This paper introduces PyGAD, an open-source easy-to-use Python library for building the genetic algorithm. PyGAD supports a wide range of parameters to give the user control over everything in its life cycle. This includes, but is not…
Human capabilities in understanding visual relations are far superior to those of AI systems, especially for previously unseen objects. For example, while AI systems struggle to determine whether two such objects are visually the same or…
Body language such as conversational gesture is a powerful way to ease communication. Conversational gestures do not only make a speech more lively but also contain semantic meaning that helps to stress important information in the…
A new model for evolving Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) is proposed in this paper. The model is based on the Multi Expression Programming (MEP) technique. Each MEP chromosome encodes an evolutionary pattern that is repeatedly used for…
Mathematical formulas serve as a language through which humans communicate with nature. Discovering mathematical laws from scientific data to describe natural phenomena has been a long-standing pursuit of humanity for centuries. In the…
