Dr. Yoshi Gotoh is a Lecturer and Student Projects Officer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield's School of Computer Science. He holds a PhD from Brown University and a first degree in Engineering from the University of Tokyo. As a member of the Speech and Hearing (SpandH) research group, his work bridges audio-visual processing and language technologies.
His core research explores:
- Video analysis and retrieval systems
- Natural language generation for video content
- 3D visual speech animation
- Crowd behavior modeling through trajectory clustering
- Medical imaging enhancements via colorization techniques
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals strong emphasis on multimodal systems combining computer vision with speech/language processing. Dominant themes include egocentric video analysis, human activity recognition, and cross-modal translation between visual and textual domains.
He has secured significant research funding as Co-Principal Investigator:
- £218,226 from Innovate UK (2021-2024) for fake imagery detection
- £393,115 from Innovate UK (2018-2021) for unsupervised dubbing systems
- £284,248 from EPSRC (2001-2005) for spoken language summarization
He leads projects within the Speech and Hearing laboratory, focusing on developing computational methods for audiovisual integration and video understanding systems.
