Open-ended spoken interactions are typically characterised by both structural complexity and high levels of uncertainty, making dialogue management in such settings a particularly...
This paper summarizes recent work at Microsoft on the development of novel direct models. The key characteristic of our approaches is the use of long-span segment level features t...
We propose a novel approach to unsupervised facial image
alignment. Differently from previous approaches, that
are confined to affine transformations on either the entire
face o...
Real-time face alignment in video is very critical in many applications such as facial expression analysis, driver fatigue monitoring, etc. This paper presents a real time algorit...
In this paper, we present a face authentication system that can be broken down in three stages. Prior to feature extraction, a pose correction step is applied, so that frontal fac...
