Ideas for the Web-Based Affective Processing

As most of us subconsciously feel, it is a great difficulty to create a program which could imitate human’s way of thinking. Recently the importance of the relation between expressions “feel”, “create” and “way of thinking” used in the previous sentence is being noticed, what gave birth to so called “affective computing”. During our experiments within GENTA project, we have observed useful connotations between the common sense information and the emotional information which could be retrieved automatically from the Internet resources. Those observations seem promising for the language and knowledge acquisition and suggested us to investigate the subject, and also to develop some ideas, which could be useful to the researchers in various AI fields. We describe GENTA-related sub-projects and their preliminary experiments.
