Louis-Philippe Morency (born July 10, 1977, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada) is a French Canadian researcher interested in human communication and machine learning applied to a better understanding of human behavior. His areas of research include computer vision, machine learning, and multimodal interaction. His academic affiliations include CMU, USC, and MIT.

Dr. Louis-Philippe Morency is the Leonardo Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Language Technologies Institute (LTI) at Carnegie Mellon University. He was formerly a research assistant professor at the University of Southern California (USC) and a research scientist at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies, where he led the Multimodal Communication and Computation Laboratory (MultiComp Lab). He received his Ph.D. from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2006.

His main research interest is the computational study of human multimodal interaction, a multidisciplinary research topic that overlays the fields of multimodal interaction, machine learning, computer vision, social psychology, and artificial intelligence. He developed Watson, a real-time library for nonverbal behavior recognition that became the de facto standard for adding perception to embodied agent interfaces. He has received many awards for his work on nonverbal behavior computation, including four best paper awards at various IEEE and ACM conferences. He was also selected by IEEE Intelligent Systems as one of the "Ten to Watch" for the future of AI research.^[1]
