Hi, welcome on my portfolio! Here you can read more about me and what kind of projects I already did.
I'm Yori Verbist, student applied computer science at the KU Leuven. For more informaion about me click here.
I am a masters student in applied computer science majoring in AI.
My most important characteristic is that I always stay calm. It doesn't matter if everything goes wrong. When someone criticizes me, I try my best to learn from it.
My hobbies are ice hockey and reading books and learning new things. These range from AI to mathematics to genetics and neuroscience. I've completed some courses on these topics on edx.com.
Firstly, I want to thank Brainjar to give me the opportunity to give me this internship. Brainjar is specialized in end-to-end machine learning applications and AI consulting.
What was the goal of this internship? To make a model that generates mouth movements when given an image or video and an audio sample. The model learns the mouth positions for every sound wave.
Instead of starting from scratch, I decided to extend upon the library Wav2Lip since they have already done fantastic work. The extensions that I made are: the original model is trained on English data, so I'll be fine-tuning on Dutch data. This data needed to be scraped and pre-processed because there were no existing datasets available. The other extension is to select the correct face when you upload a group picture. In the original model it generates the mouth movement of the first face it detects in the picture.
Below you can find some links to documents that go more in depth.
For my Big Data class, we got the assignment to make a classifier. This project was with a team of two, so my classmate and I chose to make a painting classifier.
For my Artificial Intelligence Project class, I made a self-driving car with two classmates. Because of the pandemic we decided to use the game Forza Horizon 4 instead of a physical RC car.
For my project 4.0 class I worked together with five other classmates on a smart city project for the city of Herentals.
