Louis-Philippe Morency
Research Scientist
Dr. Louis-Philippe Morency is currently a research scientist at USC Institute for Creative Technologies where he leads the Nonverbal Behaviors Understanding project. He received his Ph.D. from MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2006. His main research interest is visual feedback for multimodal interfaces, a multi-disciplinary research topic that overlays the fields of computer vision, human-computer interaction, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Louis-Philippe has received 5 best paper awards in his short career, three of them just this year (IVA, IEEE F&G;, ICMI), for his work on context-based recognition and multimodal adaptation. He developed Watson, a real-time library for visual feedback recognition, that became the de-facto standard for adding perception to embodied agent interfaces, has been downloaded by more than 80 researchers around the world, and was successfully used by MERL, USC, NTT, Media Lab and many other research groups. He was recently selected by IEEE Intelligent Systems as one of the "Ten to Watch" for the future of AI research.
