The Center for Empathic Human-Computer Interactions (CEHCI) made history when the First Osaka University - De La Salle University Workshop on Empathic Computing (WEC) 2009 was held last September 23, 2009 and was attended by more than two hundred participants from different parts of the country.
The CEHCI held its first ever Statistical Learning Seminar Workshop last May 18-20, 2009 at its lab. Mr. Rigan Ap-Apid served as trainor, and the workshop was attended by Mr. Raffy Cabredo, Ms. Jocelynn Cu, Mr. Gregory Cu, Mr. Paul Inventado, Dr. Merlin Teodosia Suarez, and Ms. Rhia Trogo-Oblena.
The CEHCI welcomes two undergraduate thesis groups from the BSCS-CSE specialization: SMERFVS and S12-10.
SMERFVS will be working on building a model of affect of humans in a naturalistic setting. SMERFVS is composed of the following students: Marc Lanze Ivan Dy, Ivan Vener Espinosa, Paul Patrick Go and Charles Martin Mendez. Ms. Jocelynn Cu is their mentor.
The Center for Empathic Human-Computer Interactions recently received the approval of their 3-year project proposal entitled “Towards the Development of a Self-Improving and Ambient Intelligent Empathic Space: Data-centric, Multimodal Empathic Modeling from a Pluridisciplinary Perspective” from the Department of Science and Technology’s Philippine Council for Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCASTRD).
Prof. Numao arrived in Manila on Saturday, February 28, 2009 upon the invitation of the College of Computer Studies through the Center for Empathic Human-Computer Interactions as visiting professor.
