description: simplex Humbert, 1865: 34 -35, pl. 3, fig. 14 [Polydesmus (Strongylosoma)].
Pundel-Oya Valley. Unspecified series.
 Carl (1932) gave a new illustration of the gonopod, without stating that it came from the type. The MHNG collection contains the gonopod studied by Carl, stored in alcohol under the name Orthomorpha (Kalorthomorpha) simplex. An undated label in the jar indicates that Hoffman identified these as part of the type; given that the type series was undefined, it is a syntype. The generic placement follows de Zoysa et al. (2016).

description: Algorithmic risk assessment instruments (RAIs) increasingly inform decision-making in criminal justice. RAIs largely rely on arrest records as a proxy for underlying crime. Problematically, the extent to which arrests reflect overall offending can vary with the person's characteristics. We examine how the disconnect between crime and arrest rates impacts RAIs and their evaluation. Our main contribution is a method for quantifying this bias via estimation of the amount of unobserved offenses associated with particular demographics. These unobserved offenses are then used to augment real-world arrest records to create part real, part synthetic crime records. Using this data, we estimate that four currently deployed RAIs assign 0.5--2.8 percentage points higher risk scores to Black individuals than to White individuals with a similar \emph{arrest} record, but the gap grows to 4.5--11.0 percentage points when we match on the semi-synthetic \emph{crime} record. We conclude by discussing the potential risks around the use of RAIs, highlighting how they may exacerbate existing inequalities if the underlying disparities of the criminal justice system are not taken into account. In light of our findings, we provide recommendations to improve the development and evaluation of such tools.

Brasilia. Unspecified series.
 Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, indicated the type locality as Mato Grosso and stated that they had two ♀ specimens. The MHNG collection contains one ♂ specimen in alcohol under the name Spirostreptus strangulatus. The specimen is in a vial and there is a pair of gonopods in a second vial. A label in the jar reads “ Spirostreptus strangulatus Sss. et H., Brésil Mus. Vienne” indicating that it could be a syntype. Another label, dated 1960, states that Hoffman designated the specimen as lectotype, but this designation does not appear to have been published, possibly because the sex of the specimen makes its status as a syntype questionable. There is one broken ♀ syntype in the NHMW (Inventory number 2443, Acquisition number 1866.I.79). The Acquisition Register indicates that this lot comprised two specimens collected by Natterer, who was active in the Mato Grosso between 1823 and 1829. An undated label in the jar indicates that Hoffman considered the species to belong to the genus Pseudonannolene.

 Saussure (1860) stated that he had numerous specimens and gave a more precise locality; “grotte de Cotilla, à dix lieues de la Havane,” to which he added in a footnote “et je crois aussi dans celle de Matanzas.” Carl (1903: 551-552) described the gonopod based on one of the “Originalexemplare.” The MHNG collection contains two ♂ and two ♀ card-mounted specimens under the name Leptodesmus subterraneus, all of them damaged. Each has the data label “Grottes de Cuba, M H de Saussure” and they are all syntypes. Hoffman (1999) refers to a ♂ holotype in the MHNG without justification. There are three further syntypes in the ZMHB (Moritz & Fischer, 1978; ZMB208).

Development and characterization of photoluminescent materials towards applications of concentric Fӧrster resonance energy transfer probes in bioanalysis
Creators: name: Tsai, Hsin-Yun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is widely used for developing fluorescent probes for bioanalysis and imaging. Typically, multiplexed sensing with FRET involves the deployment of multiple probes. In contrast, concentric FRET (cFRET) is a design motif that enables multiplexed sensing with a single probe. Prior to this thesis, cFRET probes had only been developed around metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs), which may limit the scope of biological applications. This thesis focuses on expanding the materials palette of cFRET, with the goal of exploring and evaluating new capabilities and enhancing its suitability for more diverse applications. To avoid metal chalcogenide QDs, an alternative cFRET probe was developed using poly(amidoamine) dendrimers labelled with a luminescent terbium complex (Tb). This material was functionalized with three types of dye-labelled oligonucleotides to establish a network of FRET pathways. The new cFRET probes were characterized, and a time-gated multiplexed assay for DNA targets was demonstrated. The time-gating oﬀered also enabled the rejection of background autoﬂuorescence from serum. A derivative FRET probe was compatible with a smartphone-based time-gated imaging device, suggesting potential applications in point-of-care diagnostics. Silicon QDs, also called silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs), are another potential alternative to metal chalcogenide QDs. The size and PL properties of SiNCs were characterized via spectroelectrophoresis and time-resolved and time-gated spectroscopies. SiNCs were then paired as FRET donors with a series of dark quenchers or a fluorescent dye for systematically studying energy transfer. The polydispersity of the SiNCs and resulting heterogeneity of PL properties made these materials non-ideal for cFRET. Lastly, metal chalcogenide QD-based cFRET probes were structurally integrated with a hydrogel toward sensing cell-secreted protease activity. The hydrogel mimics the extracellular matrix to provide a more physiological-like microenvironment for three-dimensional cell culture. The PL of the QD-based cFRET probes was characterized and compared between bulk solution and hydrogel environments. As an initial proof of concept, QD-based FRET probes were integrated with hydrogel and used to measure the activity of a model protease that diffused into the hydrogel. Overall, this thesis advances the concept of cFRET for bioanalysis and informs future research in this area.

description: Socially assistive robots are increasingly being explored to improve the engagement of older adults and people with disability in health and well-being-related exercises. However, even if people have various physical conditions, most prior work on social robot exercise coaching systems has utilized generic, predefined feedback. The deployment of these systems still remains a challenge. In this paper, we present our work of iteratively engaging therapists and post-stroke survivors to design, develop, and evaluate a social robot exercise coaching system for personalized rehabilitation. Through interviews with therapists, we designed how this system interacts with the user and then developed an interactive social robot exercise coaching system. This system integrates a neural network model with a rule-based model to automatically monitor and assess patients' rehabilitation exercises and can be tuned with individual patient's data to generate real-time, personalized corrective feedback for improvement. With the dataset of rehabilitation exercises from 15 post-stroke survivors, we demonstrated our system significantly improves its performance to assess patients' exercises while tuning with held-out patient's data. In addition, our real-world evaluation study showed that our system can adapt to new participants and achieved 0.81 average performance to assess their exercises, which is comparable to the experts' agreement level. We further discuss the potential benefits and limitations of our system in practice.

The development, implementation, and evaluation of a DPYD testing program in British Columbia
Creators: name: Wu, Angela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: A third of patients develop severe or life-threatening toxicities from fluoropyrimidines, a commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic. Fluoropyrimidine toxicity is often due to variation in the gene (DPYD) encoding dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). DPYD genotyping can be used to adjust doses to reduce the likelihood of fluoropyrimidine toxicity while maintaining therapeutically effective drug levels. However, DPYD testing was not routinely available in British Columbia. This study sought to implement an evidence-based pharmacogenetic test and integrate it into routine clinical practice. DPYD testing for six variants was offered for all patients starting on fluoropyrimidines at the BC Cancer Centre in Vancouver and then across British Columbia. In nine months, 186 patients were tested, and 14 were heterozygous variant carriers. Fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity was higher in DPYD variant carriers. Of 127 non-variant carriers who have completed chemotherapy, 18 (14%) experienced severe (grade ≥3, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0). In eight variant carriers, two (25%) experienced severe toxicity even at reduced doses. For one of these carriers who experienced severe thrombocytopenia within the first week, DPYD testing likely prevented lethal toxicity. DPYD variant carriers who tolerate reduced doses could not tolerate dramatic dose increases. One variant carrier developed toxicity and had to discontinue chemotherapy when the dose was escalated by 25%, leading to updated guidelines for physicians that outlined how they should escalate doses by 10% for variant carriers who have tolerated reduced doses for two cycles. DPYD testing is now routinely offered to all patients in British Columbia.

 Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription and the type locality Orizaba.The specimens were collected by Sumichrast. Carl (1903) illustrated the gonopod based on one of the “Originalexemplare” from Orizaba. The MHNG collection contains parts of at least two ♂ in alcohol under the name Polydesmus sumichrasti, at least one specimen having been transferred from the dry collection according to a label left in the box. One tube contains three vials, one with a broken body, one with a single gonopod and one with two loose segments. The second tube contains a vial with a broken pair of gonopods and an identification label in Carl’s handwriting. The third tube contains body fragments lacking the head and a label indicating that Keeton-Brown had identified it as Neoleptodesmus sp. in 1970. These are presumably all part of the type series. Hoffman (1999) refers to a ♂ holotype in the MHNG without justification.

description: Ion implantation has been a key technology for the controlled surface modification of materials in microelectronics and generally, for tribology, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and many more. To form shallow junctions in Ge is a challenging task. In this work the formation and accumulation of shallow damage profiles was studied by in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) for the accurate tracking and evaluation of void and damage fractions in crystalline Ge during implantation of 200-keV Sb ions with a total fluence up to 1E16 cm-2 and an ion flux of 2.1E12 cm-2 s-1. The consecutive stages of damage accumulation were identified using optical multi-layer models with quantitative parameters of the thickness of modified layers as well as the volume fractions of amorphized material and voids. The effective size of damaged zones formed from ion tracks initiated by individual bombarding ions can be estimated by numerical simulation compared with the dynamics of damage profiles measured by ion beam analysis and ellipsometry. According to our observations, the formation of initial partial disorder was followed by complete amorphization and void formation occurring at the fluence of about 1E15 cm-2, leading to a high volume fraction of voids and a modified layer thickness of approx. 200 nm by the end of the irradiation process. This agrees with the results of numerical simulations and complementary scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. In addition, we found a quasi-periodic time dependent behavior of amorphization and void formation represented by alternating accelerations and decelerations of different reorganization processes, respectively.

Syrie, Gödl (Musée de Vienne). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
 Attems (1898) redescribed the species and examined the type specimens, which were stated to be in poor condition. The MHNG collection contains a number of specimens in alcohol identified as Tetrathrosoma syriacum, but these were collected in the 1970s and are therefore not types. There are six potential syntypes in the NHMW (Inventory number 3576, Acquisition number 1866.I.83). The Acquisition Register states that four specimens collected by Gödel in 1853 were sent to Humbert. It is probable that the other specimens were collected by Edmund Boissier (a Genevan botanist who collected many specimens for Saussure in “Syria” and “Asia Minor”) and are part of the type series used in the original description even if they were not part of the original loan. Rudolf Oskar Gödel-Lannoy was consulgeneral in Beirut from 1850 to 1855 (Hamernik, 2006) and the type locality could therefore be Beirut.

description: Abstract Objective: The objectives of this proposed scoping review are to systematically identify the risk-taking behaviors in community dwelling older adults as well as the methods used to identify these behaviors. This review explores predisposing factors to fall-related risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults Introduction: Most falls occur as a result of complex interactions between fall risk factors. Research has identified the role of mobility and environmental factors in falls; however, little is known about the role of risk-taking behaviors on falls. Inclusion criteria: Studies that explore fall-related risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults (≥ 65 years) will be included for this review. Only studies published in the year 2000 and onwards will be considered for inclusion. Methods: A comprehensive literature search will be completed in Ovid AMED (2000 to July 2020), Ovid EMBASE (2000 to July 2020), Ovid MEDLINE (2000 to July 2020), Ovid PsychInfo (2000 to July 2020), EBSCOhost CINAHL (2000 to July 2020), EBSCOhost AgeLine (2000 to July 2020). Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts to identify studies for full review. The full texts will then be independently reviewed by the same reviewers to assess eligibility, with a third reviewer available to resolve disagreements. A data extraction tool will be used to extract the data from the studies that meet full eligibility criteria. Data extracted from the texts will be synthesized and reported in table format accompanied by a narrative summary that will connect the results the objective of the scoping review.
Anthropomorphic phantoms for quantification of ¹⁸F-PET and ¹⁷⁷Lu-SPECT imaging in radiopharmaceutical therapies
Creators: name: Fedrigo, Roberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Theranostics has established itself as a promising field for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Positron emission tomography (PET) is used to assess the initial tumour burden and to select candidates for therapy. Meanwhile, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is used to determine the amount of dose that has been deposited during radiopharmaceutical therapy, allowing us to monitor the effects of treatment in real-time and plan subsequent treatments. Due to the importance of PET and SPECT imaging in radiopharmaceutical therapy, there is a need to validate scanner performance with precisely defined ground truth. Phantoms are the gold-standard for evaluating new imaging techniques, as they provide a controlled environment, where everything is known, that mimics the properties of a human subject without posing a risk to patients. However, few phantoms emulate the anatomical structures and biodistributions observed in human subjects. In this thesis, we develop and implement a wide range of anthropomorphic phantoms for quantification of ¹⁸F-PET and ¹⁷⁷Lu-SPECT imaging for dosimetry. We evaluate radiopharmaceuticals targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (a biomarker found on prostate cancer cells) using a combination of physical and digital phantoms, although these techniques are applicable to a wide range of imaging tasks and malignancies. For physical phantoms, we developed shell-less radioactive spheres for a novel quality assurance phantom in ¹⁸F-PSMA PET imaging. To establish realistic organ models, we designed a novel casting method which may be used to manufacture custom phantoms from a reverse injection molding process. These techniques culminated in a first-of-its-kind theranostics phantom for ¹⁸F-PET and ¹⁷⁷Lu-SPECT imaging, such that the information from the higher quality PET images can be used towards improving image-based dosimetry with SPECT. Finally, we established a digital twins pipeline which may be used to simulate PET and SPECT images for virtual clinical trials. Overall, this thesis presents a wide range of anthropomorphic phantoms for quantification of PET and SPECT imaging in radiopharmaceutical therapies. The overarching aim is to enable better understanding of absorbed dose-effect relationships for tumours and organs-at-risk, paving the way for personalized radiopharmaceutical therapies, and improved management strategies and survival outcomes for patients with metastatic cancer.

Extended Hamilton-Lagrange formalism and its application to Feynman's path integral for relativistic quantum physics
Creators: name: Struckmeier, Jürgen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: With this paper, a consistent and comprehensive treatise on the foundations of the extended Hamilton-Lagrange formalism will be presented. In this formalism, the system's dynamics is parametrized along a system evolution parameter $s$, and the physical time $t$ is treated as a dependent variable $t(s)$ on equal footing with all other configuration space variables $q^{i}(s)$. In the action principle, the conventional classical action $L dt$ is then replaced by the generalized action $L_{e}ds$, with $L$ and $L_{e}$ denoting the conventional and the extended Lagrangian, respectively. It is shown that a class of extended Lagrangians $L_{e}$ exists that are correlated to corresponding conventional Lagrangians $L$ without being homogeneous functions in the velocities. Then the Legendre transformation of $L_{e}$ to an extended Hamiltonian $H_{e}$ exists. With this class of extended Hamiltonians, an extended canonical formalism is presented that is completely analogous to the conventional Hamiltonian formalism. The physical time $t$ and the negative value of the conventional Hamiltonian then constitute and an additional pair of conjugate canonical variables. The extended formalism also includes a theory of extended canonical transformations, where the time variable $t(s)$ is also subject to transformation. In the extended formalism, the system's dynamics is described as a motion on a hypersurface within an extended phase space of even dimension. With the extended Lagrangian $L_{e}$, it is shown that the generalized path integral approach yields the Klein-Gordon equation as the corresponding quantum description. Moreover, the space-time propagator for a free relativistic particle will be derived. These results can be regarded as the proof of principle of the relativistic generalization of Feynman's path integral approach to quantum physics.

description: Conversational agents (CAs) play an important role in human computer interaction. Creating believable movements for CAs is challenging, since the movements have to be meaningful and natural, reflecting the coupling between gestures and speech. Studies in the past have mainly relied on rule-based or data-driven approaches. Rule-based methods focus on creating meaningful behaviors conveying the underlying message, but the gestures cannot be easily synchronized with speech. Data-driven approaches, especially speech-driven models, can capture the relationship between speech and gestures. However, they create behaviors disregarding the meaning of the message. This study proposes to bridge the gap between these two approaches overcoming their limitations. The approach builds a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN), where a discrete variable is added to constrain the behaviors on the underlying constraint. The study implements and evaluates the approach with two constraints: discourse functions and prototypical behaviors. By constraining on the discourse functions (e.g., questions), the model learns the characteristic behaviors associated with a given discourse class learning the rules from the data. By constraining on prototypical behaviors (e.g., head nods), the approach can be embedded in a rule-based system as a behavior realizer creating trajectories that are timely synchronized with speech. The study proposes a DBN structure and a training approach that (1) models the cause-effect relationship between the constraint and the gestures, (2) initializes the state configuration models increasing the range of the generated behaviors, and (3) captures the differences in the behaviors across constraints by enforcing sparse transitions between shared and exclusive states per constraint. Objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach over an unconstrained model.

description: We investigate the notion of mean Li-Yorke chaos for operators on Banach spaces. We show that it differs from the notion of distributional chaos of type 2, contrary to what happens in the context of topological dynamics on compact metric spaces. We prove that an operator is mean Li-Yorke chaotic if and only if it has an absolutely mean irregular vector. As a consequence, absolutely Cesàro bounded operators are never mean Li-Yorke chaotic. Dense mean Li-Yorke chaos is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a dense (or residual) set of absolutely mean irregular vectors. As a consequence, every mean Li-Yorke chaotic operator is densely mean Li-Yorke chaotic on some infinite-dimensional closed invariant subspace. A (Dense) Mean Li-Yorke Chaos Criterion and a sufficient condition for the existence of a dense absolutely mean irregular manifold are also obtained. Moreover, we construct an example of an invertible hypercyclic operator $T$ such that every nonzero vector is absolutely mean irregular for both $T$ and $T^{-1}$. Several other examples are also presented. Finally, mean Li-Yorke chaos is also investigated for $C_0$-semigroups of operators on Banach spaces.

description: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychological condition often characterized by persistent low mood, disrupted sleep patterns, and a lack of motivation and energy. Moreover, individuals diagnosed with MDD often experience fluctuations in their mood and symptoms, which can impact their overall quality of life and global functioning. Consequently, an essential treatment objective is the stabilization of these symptoms. While several studies have focused on mood variability, there remains a gap in our understanding of how feasible it is to accurately predict fluctuations in depressive symptoms. In this study, we aim to explore the feasibility of predicting weekly fluctuations in depressive symptoms using deep learning models among individuals diagnosed with MDD. To minimize participant burden and enhance the practicality of our approach, we exclusively utilized passively collected movement data to predict variability in symptoms. Our dataset contains around 225 individuals diagnosed with MDD drawn from the Tracking Depression Study, an R01 study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Participants filled out their depressive symptom assessments three times a day over the course of 90 days. Overall, we will investigate how accurately we can predict variability in depressive symptoms using only passively collected movement data, potentially offering new insight into MDD treatment focused on promoting symptom stability.

description: The performance of speech emotion recognition is affected by the differences in data distributions between train (source domain) and test (target domain) sets used to build and evaluate the models. This is a common problem, as multiple studies have shown that the performance of emotional classifiers drop when they are exposed to data that does not match the distribution used to build the emotion classifiers. The difference in data distributions becomes very clear when the training and testing data come from different domains, causing a large performance gap between validation and testing performance. Due to the high cost of annotating new data and the abundance of unlabeled data, it is crucial to extract as much useful information as possible from the available unlabeled data. This study looks into the use of adversarial multitask training to extract a common representation between train and test domains. The primary task is to predict emotional attribute-based descriptors for arousal, valence, or dominance. The secondary task is to learn a common representation where the train and test domains cannot be distinguished. By using a gradient reversal layer, the gradients coming from the domain classifier are used to bring the source and target domain representations closer. We show that exploiting unlabeled data consistently leads to better emotion recognition performance across all emotional dimensions. We visualize the effect of adversarial training on the feature representation across the proposed deep learning architecture. The analysis shows that the data representations for the train and test domains converge as the data is passed to deeper layers of the network. We also evaluate the difference in performance when we use a shallow neural network versus a \emph{deep neural network} (DNN) and the effect of the number of shared layers used by the task and domain classifiers.

description: Recognizing emotions using few attribute dimensions such as arousal, valence and dominance provides the flexibility to effectively represent complex range of emotional behaviors. Conventional methods to learn these emotional descriptors primarily focus on separate models to recognize each of these attributes. Recent work has shown that learning these attributes together regularizes the models, leading to better feature representations. This study explores new forms of regularization by adding unsupervised auxiliary tasks to reconstruct hidden layer representations. This auxiliary task requires the denoising of hidden representations at every layer of an auto-encoder. The framework relies on ladder networks that utilize skip connections between encoder and decoder layers to learn powerful representations of emotional dimensions. The results show that ladder networks improve the performance of the system compared to baselines that individually learn each attribute, and conventional denoising autoencoders. Furthermore, the unsupervised auxiliary tasks have promising potential to be used in a semi-supervised setting, where few labeled sentences are available.

Identification and functional analysis of the endosomal VINE complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The endosome is a central sorting station for proteins and lipids. Retrograde protein sorting from the endosome is promoted by conserved SNX-BAR-containing coat complexes including retromer which enrich cargo at tubular microdomains and generate transport carriers. In humans, retromer cooperates with the VPS9-domain GEF VARP to direct an endosomal recycling pathway. Functions of the yeast VARP homolog Vrl1 have been overlooked due to an inactivating mutation in commonly studied strains. It is not clear how Vrl1 contributes to endosomal sorting and investigating this could provide insight to pathways controlled by VARP. Here, we show that Vrl1 is an endosomal protein with features of a SNX-BAR. We demonstrate that Vrl1 associates with Vin1, the paralog of retromer SNX-BAR Vps5, and that this is essential for its localization and function. Unique features in the Vin1 N-terminus allow Vrl1 to distinguish it from Vps5, thereby forming a complex that we have named VINE. Like other SNX-BAR coats, VINE localizes to endosomes in a PI3P-dependent manner and templates endosomal tubules, indicating a potential role in membrane trafficking. Vin1 and Vps5 specifically form VINE and retromer, respectively, through interactions at their shared unstructured N-terminal regions. We mapped determinants of VINE formation in the Vin1 N-terminus and identified a poly-basic region and a Leu-Phe motif. Structural prediction of the Vps5 N-terminal interaction with retromer subunit Vps29 suggest a bipartite mechanism which also involves a Leu-Phe motif. By establishing an ectopic expression system in S. cerevisiae, we demonstrate that the sole isoform of Vps5 in closely related yeast K. lactis forms both VINE and retromer. Structural predictions of the K. lactis Vps5 N-terminus suggest a regulated or competitive mechanism could control complex selection between VINE and retromer. In this work we identified and characterized mechanisms of assembly for a novel yeast VPS9 domain-containing SNX-BAR coat that we have named VINE. VINE combines features of a sorting complex and GEF, and may perform roles in endosomal membrane trafficking. The findings outlined in this dissertation advance our understanding of SNX-BAR assembly in yeast and humans and provide insight to the functional relationship between endosomal coats and VPS9-domain GEFs.

description: Articulation, emotion, and personality play strong roles in the orofacial movements. To improve the naturalness and expressiveness of virtual agents (VAs), it is important that we carefully model the complex interplay between these factors. This paper proposes a conditional generative adversarial network, called conditional sequential GAN (CSG), which learns the relationship between emotion and lexical content in a principled manner. This model uses a set of articulatory and emotional features directly extracted from the speech signal as conditioning inputs, generating realistic movements. A key feature of the approach is that it is a speech-driven framework that does not require transcripts. Our experiments show the superiority of this model over three state-of-the-art baselines in terms of objective and subjective evaluations. When the target emotion is known, we propose to create emotionally dependent models by either adapting the base model with the target emotional data (CSG-Emo-Adapted), or adding emotional conditions as the input of the model (CSG-Emo-Aware). Objective evaluations of these models show improvements for the CSG-Emo-Adapted compared with the CSG model, as the trajectory sequences are closer to the original sequences. Subjective evaluations show significantly better results for this model compared with the CSG model when the target emotion is happiness.
