Sample video recording with the RB policy
Sample video recording with the RL policy
This demo contains a sample video snippet from one of the recordings from IEMOCAP dataset. In the original recording, two participants are interacting with each other. We have prepared the video by replacing the participant on the right with an animated version of Furhat. The smiles/nods of the robot in the animation are triggered by an offline trained RL policy. The three RL policies are the baselines DQN-agent and NFQ-agent, and the proposed SRDQN-agent.
