'Helmut Prendinger'] Emotions widely affect human decision-making. This fact is taken into account by affective computing with the goal of tailoring decision support to the emotional states of individuals. However, the accurate recognition of emotions within narrative documents presents a challenging undertaking due to…

Background Serious games have become an alternative support for traditional physical therapy. However, many of these games do not address the emotional needs of patients. People with disabilities often experience emotions such as sadness, frustration, and even anger, which can create a barrier to their rehabilitation…

— Affective computing has advanced significantly over the past two decades, achieving remarkable progress in emotion recognition and generation. However, current approaches remain largely focused on short-term pattern recognition, lacking a comprehensive theoretical framework to guide affective agents in aligning with…

—Affective Computing (AC) is essential in bridging the gap between human emotional experiences and machine understanding. Traditionally, AC tasks in natural language processing (NLP) have been approached through pipeline architectures, which often suffer from structure rigidity that leads to inefficiencies and limited…

—In a world where technology is increasingly embedded in our everyday experiences, systems that sense and respond to human emotions are elevating digital interaction. At the intersection of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, affective computing is emerging with innovative solutions where machines…

'Corey M. Thibeault' 'Frederick C. Harris Jr.'] Reward-based learning can easily be applied to real life with a prevalence in children teaching methods. It also allows machines and software agents to automatically determine the ideal behavior from a simple reward feedback (e.g., encouragement) to maximize their…
Arvid Kappas, Jonathan Gratch
AI research focused on interactions with humans, particularly in the form of robots or virtual agents, has expanded in the last two decades to include concepts related to affective processes. Affective computing is an emerging field that deals with issues such as how the diagnosis of affective states of users can be…

Affect-adaptive systems increasingly act as communicators that sense a user's emotion and respond with events meant to change it, closing an affective loop. This vision assumes both that a machine's affective messages are received and that the bodily channel it monitors carries an intelligible reply-assumptions rarely…

Affective computing (also referred to as artificial emotion intelligence or emotion AI) is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate emotion or other affective phenomena. With the rapid growth in the aging population around the world, affective computing has…

The assertion that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot grasp the subtleties and complexities of human emotions has been a long-standing debate in AI research. However, recent advancements, particularly in large language models (LLMs), have begun challenging this notion by demonstrating an increased capacity for…

A novel interactive system for calligraphy called mind calligraphy that reflects the writer’s emotions in real time by affective computing and visualization techniques is proposed. Differently from traditional calligraphy, which emphasizes artistic expression, the system is designed to visualize the writer’s…

In recent decades, the field of affective computing has made substantial progress in advancing the ability of AI systems to recognize and express affective phenomena, such as affect and emotions, during human-human and human-machine interactions. This paper describes our examination of research at the intersection of…

In order to develop more precise and functional affective applications, it is necessary to achieve a balance between the psychology and the engineering applied to emotions. Signals from the central and peripheral nervous systems have been used for emotion recognition purposes, however, their operation and the…

Skin Conductance Response (SCR) is a phasic change in electric conductivity of the skin, occurring either non-specifically, or in response to a stimulus (event-related, or ER-SCR). It has long been understood that ER-SCR amplitudes are greater when associated with unpleasant or high-arousal stimuli; however, the…

Affect recognition and communication are critical for everyday social interaction. Traditional emotion research has often assumed that facial expressions reliably reflect internal emotional states and conform to a set of universal expressions. However, emerging evidence suggests that facial expressions are highly…

Socio-affective touch communication conveys a vast amount of information about emotions and intentions in social contexts. In spite of the complexity of the socio-affective touch expressions we use daily, previous studies addressed only a few aspects of social touch mainly focusing on hedonics, such as stroking…

Dance is a core form of human-environment interaction and a powerful medium for emotional expression, yet dancers are routinely exposed to environmental affective cues that may shape their movement. We tested whether a negative emotional context induced immediately before improvisation alters dance biomechanics. Twenty…
