M.Sc. degree project proposals
 |
(MSc) Deep Learning classification of student confusion with multimodal features: As a follow-up to our work in the Detection of Uncertainty in Conversations with Language Learners [1], we want to explore a Deep Learning approach to the classification of events of confusion during a practice conversation with language learners. The dataset is formed from video recordings of conversations between a pair of participants and a robot. |
 |
(MSc) Automatic guess generation for the game Med Andra Ord (Taboo): Following our work [2], we want to increase the autonomy and robustness of the system that generates game-word guesses given verbal descriptions of that specific game-word. We can provide a dataset of real descriptions to develop and test the system. |
 |
(BSc/MSc) Med Andra Ord (Taboo) Web Interface: The current version of the Taboo game uses a tablet as interface with a robot. We want to transfer this system to a web-base interface. Experience Fullstack development is not required, but highly welcomed! |
