Projects
Measuring trust in human AI interaction
The goal of this project is to develop an empirical model of human AI trust. Physiological correlated of trust as well as whole system performance optimization will also be explored.
Machine learning on animal acoustic data
We are developing methodologies to detect animal sounds from recordings made in zoo settings. The acoustic characteristics will then be used to study the evolution of animal acoustics.
