Prof. Emily Mower Provost receives NSF grant for research in personalized emotion recognition
The project aims to create new and personalized speech emotion recognition approaches and to use these approaches to investigate how changes in emotion are related to changes in mental health.Paper by U-M researchers selected for Best Paper in IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing
The research on automatic speech emotion recognition is one of the five papers featured in the collection.Emily Mower Provost named first CSE Associate Chair for Graduate Affairs
The new position will oversee expanding efforts to improve policy, streamline curricula, and build student community.Mimansa Jaiswal awarded Rackham Barbour Scholarship
The scholarship will advance her work producing better emotion recognition models that power human-like chatbots while preserving privacy in the training process.2022 EECS Outstanding Achievement Awards
The EECS Department has honored four faculty for their sustained excellence in instruction and curricular development, distinguished participation in service activities, or for their significant achievements in scholarly research.CSE researchers report over $11M in research grants last quarter
The awards were distributed to 18 different primary investigators.
