Topic
Multi-Modal Perception and Visual Cue Fusion for Assistive Agents
Abstract
Assistive agents have to integrate and reason over information from multiple sensory modalities to act effectively in complex human environments. In this talk, I will present my work on multi-modal and multi-visual cue fusion systems designed to adapt across diverse real-world scenarios. In addition, I will briefly give an overview of the topics in computer vision that we cover in our research group at the University of Twente.
About the speaker
EstefanÃa Talavera is a tenured Assistant Professor in the Data Management and Biometrics research group at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. Prior to joining the University of Twente, she was a lecturer and researcher in the Information Systems group at the University of Groningen. She obtained her PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Groningen and the University of Barcelona (2020).
Her research focuses on the design of multimodal systems for assistive agents, integrating vision, audio, and interaction to support people across diverse real-world contexts. She was general chair of the Netherlands Conference on Computer Vision 2025. She co-organised several workshops on DEI in computer vision conferences such as LXCV @CVPR22, @ECCV22, @CVPR23, @ICCV23 and WiCV @CVPR24 and @CVPR25. She received the VENI 2023 grant for her research.
