 Research Interests

Hi, Welcome to my page! I am Jingyao, final year PhD candidate from UNSW Sydney. My research interest lies in affective computing, machine learning, speech processing and AI in healthcare. I specialize in developing advanced frameworks for emotion representations, with a particular emphasis on quantifying and modelling ambiguous quantities (e.g., emotions and human perceptions). I explore the possibilities offered by different modalities, such as audio and video signals, in transmitting and predicting human behaviours. Additionally, I develop novel machine learning and deep learning models with applications in various domains, including emotion recognition, human-computer interaction and healthcare.  Specifically, it includes:


Emotion recognition: investigation of emotion dynamics and emotion ambiguity modelling.

Time Series and Uncertainty Modelling: explore probability theory and statistical models for quantifying and interpreting ambiguous quantities, and integrate it with advanced machine learning.
