Auriane Boudin

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics and Computer Science at Aix-Marseille Université, affiliated with both the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (UMR 7309) and the Laboratoire d'Informatique et Systèmes (UMR 7020), supervised by Philippe Blache, Magalie Ochs, Roxane Bertrand and Stéphane Rauzy. I also spent 4 months at Carnegie Mellon University supervised by Professor Louis-Philippe Morency. My research centers on understanding the mechanisms of communication and mutual comprehension, exploring both behavioral and cognitive dimensions to identify factors that enhance the quality of conversations. Specifically, my thesis work focuses on conversational feedback. My expertise includes: * Creating multimodal corpora encompassing audio-video and neurophysiological data with annotations across various modalities. Notably, I created the SMYLE corpus. * Engaging in computational modeling and statistical analysis to develop predictive feedback models using interpretable multimodal features. Currently, I am engaged in defining listening styles through methods such as clustering with interpretable features. * Employing experimental approaches to design and conduct online experiments for evaluating feedback perception. Additionally, I study the impact of distractions on listener behavior using experimental aspects of the SMYLE corpus. I would be delight to connect with anyone interested in discussing my research or exploring collaboration opportunities. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at auriane.boudin@univ-amu.fr
