Generating Diverse Realistic Laughter for Interactive Art

no code implementations4 Nov 2021 M. Mehdi Afsar, Eric Park, Étienne Paquette, Gauthier Gidel, Kory W. Mathewson, Eilif Muller

We propose an interactive art project to make those rendered invisible by the COVID-19 crisis and its concomitant solitude reappear through the welcome melody of laughter, and connections created and explored through advanced laughter synthesis approaches.

Automatic Embedding of Stories Into Collections of Independent Media

1 code implementation3 Nov 2021 Dylan R. Ashley, Vincent Herrmann, Zachary Friggstad, Kory W. Mathewson, Jürgen Schmidhuber

We look at how machine learning techniques that derive properties of items in a collection of independent media can be used to automatically embed stories into such collections.
