Visual speech synthesis deals with synthesising facial animation from an audio representation of speech. In the last decade or so, data-driven approaches have gained prominence with the development of Machine Learning techniques that can learn an audio-visual mapping. Many of th…

The shape of an object is an important characteristic for many vision problems such as segmentation, detection and tracking. Being independent of appearance, it is possible to generalise to a large range of objects from only small amounts of data. However, shapes represented as …

Discovering rich causal models computationally can be key to creating human like artificial intelligence. Recent research has detached the notion of time from approaches to causal inference and has thus obscured modelling of and inference over dynamic dependencies in causal syst…
