Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects. It is an interdisciplinary field spanning computer science, psychology, and cognitive science. While some core ideas in the field may be traced as far back as to early philosophical inquiries into emotion, the more modern branch of computer science originated with Rosalind Picard's 1995 paper on affective computing and her book Affective Computing published by MIT Press. One of the motivations for the research is the ability to give machines emotional intelligence, including to simulate empathy. The machine should interpret the emotional state of humans and adapt its behavior to them, giving an appropriate response to those emotions.

情感计算是研究和开发能够识别、解释、处理和模拟人类情感的系统和设备。这是一个跨越计算机科学、心理学和认知科学的跨学科领域。而这一领域的一些核心思想可以追溯到早期的情感哲学研究，陶和谭引用了这些思想。更现代的计算机科学分支起源于 Rosalind Picard 1995年的论文“ Affective Computing”MIT 技术报告 # 321(摘要) ，1995年关于 Affective Computing 和她由 MIT 出版社出版的书 Affective Computing。这项研究的动机之一是赋予机器情商的能力，包括模拟移情。机器应该解读人类的情绪状态，并使其行为适应人类的情绪，对这些情绪作出适当的反应。

Detecting and recognizing emotional information

Detecting emotional information usually begins with passive sensors that capture data about the user's physical state or behavior without interpreting the input. The data gathered is analogous to the cues humans use to perceive emotions in others. For example, a video camera might capture facial expressions, body posture, and gestures, while a microphone might capture speech. Other sensors detect emotional cues by directly measuring physiological data, such as skin temperature and galvanic resistance.

检测和识别情感信息通常是从被动传感器开始的，这些传感器捕捉有关用户身体状态或行为的数据，而不解释输入信息。收集的数据类似于人类用来感知他人情感的线索。例如，摄像机可以捕捉面部表情、身体姿势和手势，而麦克风可以捕捉语音。其他传感器通过直接测量生理数据(如皮肤温度和电流电阻)来探测情感信号。

Recognizing emotional information requires the extraction of meaningful patterns from the gathered data. This is done using machine learning techniques that process different modalities, such as speech recognition, natural language processing, or facial expression detection. The goal of most of these techniques is to produce labels that would match the labels a human perceiver would give in the same situation: For example, if a person makes a facial expression furrowing their brow, then the computer vision system might be taught to label their face as appearing "confused" or as "concentrating" or "slightly negative" (as opposed to positive, which it might say if they were smiling in a happy-appearing way). These labels may or may not correspond to what the person is actually feeling.

识别情感信息需要从收集到的数据中提取出有意义的模式。这是使用机器学习技术，处理不同的模式，如语音识别，自然语言处理，或面部表情检测。大多数这些技术的目标是产生与人类感知者在相同情况下给出的标签相匹配的标签: 例如，如果一个人做出皱眉的面部表情，那么计算机视觉系统可能会被教导将他们的脸标记为看起来“困惑”、“专注”或“轻微消极”(与积极相反，它可能会说，如果他们正在以一种快乐的方式微笑)。这些标签可能与人们的真实感受相符，也可能不相符。

Emotion in machines

Another area within affective computing is the design of computational devices proposed to exhibit either innate emotional capabilities or that are capable of convincingly simulating emotions. A more practical approach, based on current technological capabilities, is the simulation of emotions in conversational agents in order to enrich and facilitate interactivity between human and machine.

情感计算的另一个领域是设计计算机设备，这些设备要么展示了与生俱来的情感能力，要么能够令人信服地模拟情感。基于当前的技术能力，一个更加实用的方法是模拟会话代理中的情绪，以丰富和促进人与机器之间的互动。

Marvin Minsky, one of the pioneering computer scientists in artificial intelligence, relates emotions to the broader issues of machine intelligence stating in The Emotion Machine that emotion is "not especially different from the processes that we call 'thinking.'"

Technologies

In psychology, cognitive science, and in neuroscience, there have been two main approaches for describing how humans perceive and classify emotion: continuous or categorical. The continuous approach tends to use dimensions such as negative vs. positive, calm vs. aroused.

在心理学、认知科学和神经科学中，描述人类如何感知和分类情绪有两种主要的方法: 连续的和分类的。持续的方法倾向于使用诸如消极与积极、平静与被唤醒之类的维度。

The categorical approach tends to use discrete classes such as happy, sad, angry, fearful, surprise, disgust. Different kinds of machine learning regression and classification models can be used for having machines produce continuous or discrete labels. Sometimes models are also built that allow combinations across the categories, e.g. a happy-surprised face or a fearful-surprised face.

绝对类方法倾向于使用分离的类，比如高兴、悲伤、愤怒、恐惧、惊讶、厌恶。不同类型的机器学习回归和分类模型可以用于让机器产生连续或离散的标签。有时建立的模型也允许跨类别的组合，例如。一张惊喜的脸，还是一张惊恐的脸。

Emotional speech

Various changes in the autonomic nervous system can indirectly alter a person's speech, and affective technologies can leverage this information to recognize emotion. For example, speech produced in a state of fear, anger, or joy becomes fast, loud, and precisely enunciated, with a higher and wider range in pitch, whereas emotions such as tiredness, boredom, or sadness tend to generate slow, low-pitched, and slurred speech. Some emotions have been found to be more easily computationally identified, such as anger or approval.

Speech analysis is an effective method of identifying affective state, having an average reported accuracy of 70 to 80% in recent research. These systems tend to outperform average human accuracy (approximately 60%) but are less accurate than systems which employ other modalities for emotion detection, such as physiological states or facial expressions. However, since many speech characteristics are independent of semantics or culture, this technique is considered to be a promising route for further research.

Currently, the most frequently used classifiers are linear discriminant classifiers (LDC), k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), Gaussian mixture model (GMM), support vector machines (SVM), artificial neural networks (ANN), decision tree algorithms and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Various studies showed that choosing the appropriate classifier can significantly enhance the overall performance of the system. The list below gives a brief description of each algorithm:

目前常用的分类器有线性判别分类器(LDC)、 k- 近邻分类器(k-NN)、高斯混合模型(GMM)、支持向量机(SVM)、人工神经网络(ANN)、决策树算法和隐马尔可夫模型(HMMs)。各种研究表明，选择合适的分类器可以显著提高系统的整体性能。下面的列表给出了每个算法的简要描述:

• LDC – Classification happens based on the value obtained from the linear combination of the feature values, which are usually provided in the form of vector features.
• k-NN – Classification happens by locating the object in the feature space, and comparing it with the k nearest neighbors (training examples). The majority vote decides on the classification.
• GMM – is a probabilistic model used for representing the existence of subpopulations within the overall population. Each sub-population is described using the mixture distribution, which allows for classification of observations into the sub-populations.
• SVM – is a type of (usually binary) linear classifier which decides in which of the two (or more) possible classes, each input may fall into.
• ANN – is a mathematical model, inspired by biological neural networks, that can better grasp possible non-linearities of the feature space.
• Decision tree algorithms – work based on following a decision tree in which leaves represent the classification outcome, and branches represent the conjunction of subsequent features that lead to the classification.
• HMMs – a statistical Markov model in which the states and state transitions are not directly available to observation. Instead, the series of outputs dependent on the states are visible. In the case of affect recognition, the outputs represent the sequence of speech feature vectors, which allow the deduction of states' sequences through which the model progressed. The states can consist of various intermediate steps in the expression of an emotion, and each of them has a probability distribution over the possible output vectors. The states' sequences allow us to predict the affective state which we are trying to classify, and this is one of the most commonly used techniques within the area of speech affect detection.

• LDC-根据特征值的线性组合值进行分类，特征值通常以矢量特征的形式提供。
• k-NN-分类是通过在特征空间中定位目标，并与 k 个最近邻(训练样本)进行比较来实现的。多数票决定分类。
• GMM-是一个概率模型，用于表示总体种群中存在的子种群。每个子种群使用混合分布来描述，这允许将观测分类为子种群。“高斯混合模型”。知识共享与社区建设。10 March 2011.
• SVM-是一种(通常为二进制)线性分类器，它决定每个输入可能属于两个(或多个)可能类别中的哪一个。人工神经网络是一种受生物神经网络启发的数学模型，能够更好地把握特征空间可能存在的非线性。
• 决策树算法——基于下面的决策树，其中的叶子代表分类结果，分支代表导致分类的后续特征之间的关联。
• HMMs-一个统计马尔可夫模型，其中的状态和状态转变不能直接用于观测。相反，依赖于状态的一系列输出是可见的。在情感识别的情况下，输出表示语音特征向量的序列，这样可以推导出模型所经过的状态序列。这些状态可以由表达情绪的各种中间步骤组成，每个概率分布都有一个可能的输出向量。状态序列允许我们预测我们试图分类的情感状态，这是语音情感检测领域最常用的技术之一。

It is proved that having enough acoustic evidence available the emotional state of a person can be classified by a set of majority voting classifiers. The proposed set of classifiers is based on three main classifiers: kNN, C4.5 and SVM-RBF Kernel. This set achieves better performance than each basic classifier taken separately. It is compared with two other sets of classifiers: one-against-all (OAA) multiclass SVM with Hybrid kernels and the set of classifiers which consists of the following two basic classifiers: C5.0 and Neural Network. The proposed variant achieves better performance than the other two sets of classifiers.

The vast majority of present systems are data-dependent. This creates one of the biggest challenges in detecting emotions based on speech, as it implicates choosing an appropriate database used to train the classifier. Most of the currently possessed data was obtained from actors and is thus a representation of archetypal emotions. Those so-called acted databases are usually based on the Basic Emotions theory (by Paul Ekman), which assumes the existence of six basic emotions (anger, fear, disgust, surprise, joy, sadness), the others simply being a mix of the former ones. Nevertheless, these still offer high audio quality and balanced classes (although often too few), which contribute to high success rates in recognizing emotions.

目前绝大多数系统都依赖于数据。这在基于语音的情绪检测中创造了一个最大的挑战，因为它牵涉到选择一个合适的数据库用于训练分类器。目前拥有的大多数数据是从演员，因此是一个代表的原型情绪。这些所谓的行为数据库通常是基于基本情绪理论(保罗 · 埃克曼) ，该理论假定存在六种基本情绪(愤怒、恐惧、厌恶、惊讶、喜悦、悲伤) ，其他情绪只是前者的混合体。埃克曼，p. & Friesen，w. v (1969)。非语言行为的全部: 分类、起源、用法和编码。Semiotica，1,49-98.然而，这些仍然提供高音质和平衡的课程(虽然通常太少) ，这有助于高成功率识别情绪。

However, for real life application, naturalistic data is preferred. A naturalistic database can be produced by observation and analysis of subjects in their natural context. Ultimately, such database should allow the system to recognize emotions based on their context as well as work out the goals and outcomes of the interaction. The nature of this type of data allows for authentic real life implementation, due to the fact it describes states naturally occurring during the human–computer interaction (HCI).

Despite the numerous advantages which naturalistic data has over acted data, it is difficult to obtain and usually has low emotional intensity. Moreover, data obtained in a natural context has lower signal quality, due to surroundings noise and distance of the subjects from the microphone. The first attempt to produce such database was the FAU Aibo Emotion Corpus for CEICES (Combining Efforts for Improving Automatic Classification of Emotional User States), which was developed based on a realistic context of children (age 10–13) playing with Sony's Aibo robot pet. Likewise, producing one standard database for all emotional research would provide a method of evaluating and comparing different affect recognition systems.

尽管自然主义数据比实际数据有许多优点，但它很难获得，而且通常情绪强度较低。此外，在自然环境下获得的数据信号质量较低，这是由于周围环境的噪声和被试者距离麦克风的距离。第一个尝试建立这样的数据库的是 FAU Aibo 情感语料库，该语料库是基于一个真实的儿童(10-13岁)与索尼的 Aibo 机器人宠物玩耍的环境而开发的。同样地，为所有情感研究建立一个标准的数据库将提供一种评估和比较不同情感识别系统的方法。

The complexity of the affect recognition process increases with the number of classes (affects) and speech descriptors used within the classifier. It is, therefore, crucial to select only the most relevant features in order to assure the ability of the model to successfully identify emotions, as well as increasing the performance, which is particularly significant to real-time detection. The range of possible choices is vast, with some studies mentioning the use of over 200 distinct features. It is crucial to identify those that are redundant and undesirable in order to optimize the system and increase the success rate of correct emotion detection. The most common speech characteristics are categorized into the following groups.

2. Time-related features:
   • Speech rate – describes the rate of words or syllables uttered over a unit of time
   • Stress frequency – measures the rate of occurrences of pitch accented utterances
3. Voice quality parameters and energy descriptors:
   • Breathiness – measures the aspiration noise in speech
   • Brilliance – describes the dominance of high Or low frequencies In the speech
   • Loudness – measures the amplitude of the speech waveform, translates to the energy of an utterance
   • Pause Discontinuity – describes the transitions between sound and silence
   • Pitch Discontinuity – describes the transitions of the fundamental frequency.

Facial affect detection

The detection and processing of facial expression are achieved through various methods such as optical flow, hidden Markov models, neural network processing or active appearance models. More than one modalities can be combined or fused (multimodal recognition, e.g. facial expressions and speech prosody, facial expressions and hand gestures, or facial expressions with speech and text for multimodal data and metadata analysis) to provide a more robust estimation of the subject's emotional state. Affectiva is a company (co-founded by Rosalind Picard and Rana El Kaliouby) directly related to affective computing and aims at investigating solutions and software for facial affect detection.

Facial expression databases

Main article: Facial expression databases

Creation of an emotion database is a difficult and time-consuming task. However, database creation is an essential step in the creation of a system that will recognize human emotions. Most of the publicly available emotion databases include posed facial expressions only. In posed expression databases, the participants are asked to display different basic emotional expressions, while in spontaneous expression database, the expressions are natural. Spontaneous emotion elicitation requires significant effort in the selection of proper stimuli which can lead to a rich display of intended emotions. Secondly, the process involves tagging of emotions by trained individuals manually which makes the databases highly reliable. Since perception of expressions and their intensity is subjective in nature, the annotation by experts is essential for the purpose of validation.

面部表情数据库创建情感数据库是一项困难而耗时的任务。然而，创建数据库是创建识别人类情感的系统的关键步骤。大多数公开的情感数据库只包含摆出的面部表情。在提出的表达式数据库中，要求参与者显示不同的基本情感表达，而在自发表达式数据库中，表达是自然的。自发的情绪诱导需要在选择合适的刺激物时付出巨大的努力，这会导致丰富的预期情绪的展示。其次，这个过程包括由训练有素的人手动标记情绪，使数据库高度可靠。由于对表达式及其强度的感知在本质上是主观的，专家的注释对于验证是必不可少的。

Researchers work with three types of databases, such as a database of peak expression images only, a database of image sequences portraying an emotion from neutral to its peak, and video clips with emotional annotations. Many facial expression databases have been created and made public for expression recognition purpose. Two of the widely used databases are CK+ and JAFFE.

Emotion classification

Main article: Emotion classification

By doing cross-cultural research in Papua New Guinea, on the Fore Tribesmen, at the end of the 1960s, Paul Ekman proposed the idea that facial expressions of emotion are not culturally determined, but universal. Thus, he suggested that they are biological in origin and can, therefore, be safely and correctly categorized. He therefore officially put forth six basic emotions, in 1972:

20世纪60年代末，通过对福尔部落巴布亚新几内亚的跨文化研究，Paul Ekman 提出了这样一个观点: 面部表情不是由文化决定的，而是具有普遍性的。因此，他认为它们是生物起源的，因此可以安全而正确地归类。因此，他在1972年正式提出了六种基本情感:

• Anger
• Disgust
• Fear
• Happiness
• Sadness
• Surprise

• Anger
• Disgust
• Fear
• Happiness
• Sadness
• Surprise

• 愤怒
• 厌恶
• 恐惧
• 快乐
• 悲伤
• 惊喜

However, in the 1990s Ekman expanded his list of basic emotions, including a range of positive and negative emotions not all of which are encoded in facial muscles. The newly included emotions are:

1. Amusement
2. Contempt
3. Contentment
4. Embarrassment
5. Excitement
6. Guilt
7. Pride in achievement
8. Relief
9. Satisfaction
10. Sensory pleasure
11. Shame

Facial Action Coding System

Main article: Facial Action Coding System

A system has been conceived by psychologists in order to formally categorize the physical expression of emotions on faces. The central concept of the Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, as created by Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen in 1978 based on earlier work by Carl-Herman Hjortsjö are action units (AU). They are, basically, a contraction or a relaxation of one or more muscles. Psychologists have proposed the following classification of six basic emotions, according to their action units ("+" here mean "and"):

The peaks of the waves indicate a cardiac cycle where the heart has pumped blood to the extremities. If the subject experiences fear or is startled, their heart usually 'jumps' and beats quickly for some time, causing the amplitude of the cardiac cycle to increase. This can clearly be seen on a photoplethysmograph when the distance between the trough and the peak of the wave has decreased. As the subject calms down, and as the body's inner core expands, allowing more blood to flow back to the extremities, the cycle will return to normal.

The face expresses a great deal of emotion, however, there are two main facial muscle groups that are usually studied to detect emotion: The corrugator supercilii muscle, also known as the 'frowning' muscle, draws the brow down into a frown, and therefore is the best test for negative, unpleasant emotional response.↵The zygomaticus major muscle is responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth back when you smile, and therefore is the muscle used to test for a positive emotional response.

EDA is a general phenomena whereby the skin's electrical properties change. The skin is innervated by the [sympathetic nervous system], so measuring its resistance or conductance provides a way to quantify small changes in the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. As the sweat glands are activated, even before the skin feels sweaty, the level of the EDA can be captured (usually using conductance) and used to discern small changes in autonomic arousal. The more aroused a subject is, the greater the skin conductance tends to be. Galvanic skin response (GSR) is an outdated term for a more general phenomenon known as [Electrodermal Activity] or EDA.

They extract certain visual features based on the intuition that they can discriminate between aesthetically pleasing and displeasing images. 视觉美学在艺术和摄影的世界里，指的是自然的原则和审美的原则。判断美和其他审美品质是一项高度主观的任务。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的计算机科学家将利用图片的视觉内容自动推断图片的审美质量的挑战视为一个机器学习问题，同行评级的在线照片共享网站则是一个数据源。利 · 达塔，Dhiraj Joshi，贾力和詹姆斯 · 王，用计算方法研究摄影图像美学，计算机科学讲义，第卷。3953，Proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision，Part III，pp.288-301，格拉茨，2006年5月。他们提取某些视觉特征是基于这样一种直觉，即他们可以区分美观的和不美观的图像。 Potential applications Education Affection influences learners' learning state. Using affective computing technology, computers can judge the learners' affection and learning state by recognizing their facial expressions. In education, the teacher can use the analysis result to understand the student's learning and accepting ability, and then formulate reasonable teaching plans. At the same time, they can pay attention to students' inner feelings, which is helpful to students' psychological health. Especially in distance education, due to the separation of time and space, there is no emotional incentive between teachers and students for two-way communication. Without the atmosphere brought by traditional classroom learning, students are easily bored, and affect the learning effect. Applying affective computing in distance education system can effectively improve this situation. Affection influences learners' learning state.

Companies would then be able to use such analysis to infer whether their product will or will not be well received by the respective market.

In contrast, the interactional approach seeks to help "people to understand and experience their own emotions" and to improve computer-mediated interpersonal communication. It does not necessarily seek to map emotion into an objective mathematical model for machine interpretation, but rather let humans make sense of each other's emotional expressions in open-ended ways that might be ambiguous, subjective, and sensitive to context.模板:Example needed Picard's focus is human–computer interaction, and her goal for affective computing is to "give computers the ability to recognize, express, and in some cases, 'have' emotions".

They say it reduces emotion to a discrete psychological signal occurring inside the body that can be measured and which is an input to cognition, undercutting the complexity of emotional experience.
