4. “The question is not whether intelligent machines can have
any emotions, but whether machines can be intelligent
without any emotions.”
◦ — Marvin Minsky (1927–2016) (Co-founder of AI Lab at MIT, Turing Award winner
(most prestigious award in Computer Science)).

5. What is Affective Computing?
Affective Computing is the study and development of
systems and devices that can recognize, interpret,
process, and simulate human affect/emotion and
appropriately respond to its user’s emtions.

and adpts its behavior to them
-A reserach field - computer science, psychology, and
cognitive science.

9. Affective Computing in AI By Thamba Meshach W
Percieve Emotions

10. Facial Expressions
1. Face is extracted from the background
2. Facial geometry (e.g. locations of eyes,
nose, mouth) can be estimated.
3. Based on facial geometry, facial
expressions can be normalized, taking
out the impact of head rotations or other
head movements

11. On deducing and c1assifying human emotions, the most frequently used c1assifiers
Linear Discriminant Classifiers (LDC),
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs),
Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM),
Support Vector Machines (SVM),
k-nearest neighbour (k-NN),
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and
Decision Tree Algorithms.

13. Applications
E -leaming : On computers wherein computing the users feelings can be used to adjust the presentation,
content can be more polished and tasteful teaching when a leamer is uninterested, or
paused.
Marketing : measure customer reactions to their campaigns, new products, and services to
optimize their marketing strategies.
Training & Tracking : employees’ stress and anxiety levels during the job and observe if they are
satisfied with their current tasks and workload.
Robotic : Capable of giving out affective data exhibit greater tlexibility while one works in uncertain
or complex environments. Buddy gadgets, like digital pets
Health Care : Emotion AI can be used in counseling sessions to track and understand mental states
better and help doctors support counselee more effectively

14. Artificial Intelligence and Affective Computing
- JIBO , Family Robot, MIT Lab of Robotics, like a Disney character that can
recognize face and do simple talks
- Pepper Emotional Humanoid Robot, Japanese robot that can tell apart
feelings such as joy, anger, sadness and can respond accordingly
- Amazon Alexa, Amazon working on alexa to recognize emotions
