Marc Schröder's Home Page

I'm the person who built this portal. A lot of time went into this, which I could also have spent on my own research... but I really want to see this research community in emotion-oriented computing become a reality, and I believe my time is not wasted.

However, what I would want to be known for is my research on emotional speech synthesis. Check out this online demo of emotional TTS that came out of my PhD; more recently, I started to work on signal processing for emotional TTS (see this recent paper).

Within HUMAINE, I am also in charge of a scientifically based Emotion Annotation and Representation Language for use in technological systems (public release previewed for June 2006), and I lead the working group on Backchannel behaviour within WP6 (check out our recent report D6d, where we propose a conceptual architecture for an embodied conversational agent capable of giving backchannel feedback).

On my homepage at DFKI, you can find a short CV, a description of my research interests, and a list of publications including pdfs where possible, which I try to keep up to date.
