There is plenty of evidence that emotion analysis has many valuable applications. In this study a blog emotion corpus is constructed for Chinese emotional expression analysis. This corpus contains manual annotation of eight emotional categories (expect, joy, love, surprise, anxiety, sorrow, angry and hate), emotion intensity, emotion holder/target, emotional word/phrase, degree word, negative w...

There is substantial evidence of bias in the processing of emotion in people with complicated grief (CG). Previous studies have tended to assess the expression of emotion in CG, but other aspects of emotion (mainly emotion recognition, and the subjective aspects of emotion) have not been addressed, despite their importance for practicing clinicians. A quasi-experimental design with two matched ...

A Personal robot, which is expected to become popular in the future, is required to be active in joint work and community life with humans. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the development of new mechanisms and functions for a humanoid robot that has the ability to express human-like emotion and communicate naturally with a human, in order to realize a personal robot. Recently, the Emoti...

In this paper, we consider both speaker dependent and listener dependent aspects in the assessment of emotions in speech. We model the speaker dependencies in emotional speech production by two parameters which describe the individual’s emotional expression behavior. Similarly, we model the listener’s emotion perception behavior by a simple parametric model. These models form a basis for improv...

This paper discusses the challenges of studying affective interactions and reviews a pilot study designed to test the feasibility of studying the concurrence of facial and bodily expression. The study had three goals. First, evaluate the use of our emotion elicitation method. Second, determine if a specialized head mount for a face camera worn by participants interfered with performance. Third,...

This paper introduces a model of interaction between users and animated agents as well as inter-agent interaction that supports basic features of affective conversation. As essential requirements for animated agents’ capability to engage in and exhibit affective communication we motivate reasoning about emotion and emotion expression, personality, and social role awareness. The main contributio...

This talk addresses the current needs for so-called emotion in speech, but points out that the issue is better described as the expression of relationships and attitudes rather than the currently held raw (or big-six) emotional states. From an analysis of more than three years of daily conversational speech, we find the direct expression of emotion to be extremely rare, and contend that when sp...

This paper proposes two multimodal fusion methods between brain and peripheral signals for emotion recognition. The input signals are electroencephalogram and facial expression. The stimuli are based on a subset of movie clips that correspond to four specific areas of valance-arousal emotional space (happiness, neutral, sadness, and fear). For facial expression detection, four basic emotion sta...

The utility of recognising emotion expressions for coordinating social interactions is well documented, but less is known about how continuously changing emotion displays are perceived. The nonlinear dynamic systems view of emotions suggests that mixed emotion expressions in the middle of displays of changing expressions may be decoded differently depending on the expression origin. Hysteresis ...
