Over the last decade we have seen a growing interest in the development of technologies for automatic emotion perception. The ability to automatically perceive emotions has many applications in environments where machines need to interact and collaborate with humans. However, how can machines recognise emotions?
In this masterclass I will give an introduction to Affective Computing which studies and develops systems and devices that can recognise, interpret, process and simulate emotions or feelings. After a general introduction to Affective Computing, I will review techniques for automatic emotion perception and also look at the limitations of these existing technologies. Finally, I will outline examples of research projects harnessing automatic emotion perception to enhance people’s wellbeing.
