11.36. I’m listening to Gunnar Holmberg from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Music technology group. He is showing a set of extremely impressive tools for automatic audio for media production. Possible to analyse music in a similar way as a human do – emotional annotations.

And that’s not all! I just heard Marco Romeo present a character animation tool that could make detailed facial animation based on both personality and mood. And before that! Charlie Cullen from Dublin Institute of Technology present a tool for speech and Linguistics analysis that could give output in the form of natural language with different levels of positivity and activity.
