2015
Lance Lebanoff
I am currently a senior at University of Central Florida, pursuing a B.S. degree in computer science. For my REU project this summer, I am working with Mahdi M. Kalayeh on expressive image captioning. The project combines several aspects of machine learning to extract visual and emotional features from an image and generate a sentence that describes the image, while retaining the sentiment expressed in the image. My focus in the project is on natural language processing, to detect emotions conveyed by text and to reconstruct a sentence with emotional expression added. My weekly presentations are below, outlining my progress throughout the summer. You can contact me at lancelebanoff@knights.ucf.edu for more information.
