1、EEL 5708Affective computingLotzi BlniEEL 5708Affective computing Emotions and computers. Initiator of the field: Rosalind Picard at MIT http:/affect.media.mit.edu/ Controversial at the first sight Computers which have emotions? Isnt this too early (in the process of making computers intelligent)? Co

2、mmander Data: lots of intelligence no emotions In reality, the field deals with a lot of different fields, some of them not controversial at all. EEL 5708Computers which recognize emotions of the users Essentially, it is a sensor problem. We are very good at recognizing emotion when we are face to f

3、ace Maybe because it is important but lets leave this discussion for later We have difficulty recognizing emotions through written text (except it is very well written). This is why we use smileys :-) :-( Computers needs to recognize emotions from limited input: Text typed Typing speed, mouse moveme

4、nt (shaking hand etc) But we can add extra sensors: Blood pressure, heart rate, perspiration salinity, skin surface conductivity (sweaty hands etc). EEL 5708Why would computers recognize emotion? Pilots, train conductors: should not get angry Security: recognize anxiety? Lie detectors: used for long

Applications: Toys: virtual (Tamagochi), embodied (Aibo robotic dog) Games: avatars in games E-commerce systems: an affective virtual salesperson sales more (supposedly) Interactive tutoring Again, not controversialEEL 5708Computers “having” emotions 1. acti
