Dan Feng

Welcome to Dan's Homepage

I'm a fourth year PhD student in College of Computer and Information Science, working with Professor Stacy Marsella in the CESAR (Cognitive Embodied Social Agents Research) lab. My projects span from Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to human computer interaction (HCI). My current research mainly focuses on building decision theoretic models of human behaviors by applying machine learning and natural language processing techniques to crowdsourced narratives. In addition, I’m also interested in studying visual perception and social presence in VR/AR/MR systems.
