A Framework for Collaborative Curation of Neuroscientific Literature

Sean Lewis Hill, Elisabetta Iavarone, Christian O'Reilly

Large models of complex neuronal circuits require specifying numerous parameters, with values that often need to be extracted from the literature, a tedious and error-prone process. To help establishing shareable curated corpora of annotations, we have dev ...

Character network analysis of Émile Zola’s Les Rougon-Macquart

Yannick Rochat

In this work, we use network analysis methods to sketch a typology of fiction novels based on characters and their proximity in the narration. We construct character networks modelling the twenty novels composing Les Rougon-Macquart, written by Émile Zola. ...

Gaze Behaviors for Virtual Crowd Characters

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Barbara Yersin, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

Nowadays, crowds of virtual characters are used in many domains such as neurosciences, psychology, and computer sciences. Since as human beings, we are natural experts in human being representation and movement, it makes it that much harder to correctly mo ...

Making Them Remember-Emotional Virtual Characters with Memory

Zerrin Yumak

The search for the perfect virtual character is on, but the moment users interact with characters, any illusion that we’ve found it is broken. Adding memory capabilities to models of human emotions, personality, and behavior traits is a step toward a more ...

Simulating gaze attention behaviors for crowds

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

Crowd animation is a topic of high interest which offers many challenges. One of the most important is the trade-off between rich, realistic behaviors, and computational costs. To this end, much effort has been put into creating variety in character repres ...

Eye Contact as Trigger for Modification of Virtual Character Behavior

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

The increasing use of Virtual Reality in the treatment of phobias translates in a just as expanding need for realism in its scenes and characters. Virtual characters need to seem gifted with intelligence. A first step in achieving this is by giving them th ...

Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Benoît Le Callennec

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...
