Professor Maja Pantic is Professor of Affective and Behavioural Computing at Imperial College London. A widely-accepted prediction is that computing will move to the background, weaving itself into the fabric of our everyday living spaces and projecting the human user into the foreground. To realise this prediction, next-generation computing should develop anticipatory user interfaces that are human-centered, built for humans, and based on naturally occurring multimodal human behaviour such as affective and social signalling. The Turing Research Symposium was organised by the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics in partnership with SICSA and supported by Cambridge University Press.
