Bayesian Classification of Disaster Events on the Basis of Icon Messages of Observers.

During major disaster events, human operators in a crisis center will be overloaded with a flood of phone calls. As an increasing number of people in and around big cities do not master the native language, the need for automated systems that automatically process the context and content of information about disaster situations from the...

An automated text-based synthetic face with emotions for web lectures

Web lectures have many positive aspects, e.g. they enable learners to easily control the learning experiences). To develop high-quality online learning materials takes a lot of time and human efforts [2]. An alternative is to develop a digital teacher. We have developed a prototype of a synthetic 3D face that shows emotion associated to text...
