ABSTRACT Introduction Perceived ethnic discrimination from teachers is associated with poorer adolescent adjustment, yet the mechanisms underlying these associations and the extent to which responses vary across the intersection of multiple social identities remain unclear. Guide...

Signals of Communicative Intent Enhance the Impact of Emotional Messages from Human Speakers, While Effects for Robots are Attenuated

Abstract The present work investigated humans’ responses to robots’ verbal emotional expressions. To this end, the interplay of agent characteristics and signals of communicative intent on emotional word processing was examined. In two behavioral studies (N1 = 36, N2 = 72), parti...

Amortized inverse kinematics via graph attention for real-time human avatar animation

Inverse kinematics (IK) is a core operation in animation, robotics, and biomechanics: given Cartesian constraints, recover joint rotations under a known kinematic tree. In many real-time human avatar pipelines, the available signal per frame is a sparse set of tracked 3D joint po...
