The project focuses on interpreting non-verbal cues—such as gaze, gestures, and attention—through multi-task learning models that capture the subtleties of human interactions. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The project will be supported by two PhD students and one postdoctoral researcher, to lead the design and development of computational models, focusing on gaze, attention, and multi-cue integration for human-centric computer vision analysis of social behaviors at the subject and scene levels in general settings.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PhD students will be registered at EPFL (<a href="http://www.epfl.ch/">www.epfl.ch</a>)</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Idiap offers competitive salaries, a beautiful location, and a world-class AI research community. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Please apply on the Idiap careers site.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.idiap.ch/en/careers">https://www.idiap.ch/en/careers</a></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br></p><div>
