Ricardo Kleinlein is currently pursuing a PhD. Thesis at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, under the guidance of Fernado Fernández Martínez. He received his bachelor in Physics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in 2015, after which he studied a Master in Science in Robotics at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and a Master in Science in Computer Science and Mathematics at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) & Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). He has undergone a research stay as a visiting PhD Student at the Yamagishi-Lab in the National Institute of Informatics of Tokyo (NII), Japan.
He previously worked in the healthcare domain, both at start-ups related to the automatic prediction of glycemic levels in Diabetes type I patients and from an academic point of view, in the implementation of models able to foresee the survivability of breast cancer patients and their evolution in time.
His current main research interests include the modelling of affective-cognitive variables that drive the human perception of multimedia content. Predicting media memorability, understood as the likelihood that a video clip will attach to our memory, or image aesthetics (automatic inference of which pictures are regarded as beautiful by a pool of annotators) are, together with the estimation of the emotional state of a person, the pillars of his current research.
