Computers to perceive Human Emotions


Researchers have developed a machine-learning model that takes computers a step closer to interpreting our emotions as naturally as humans do. In the growing research field of “affective computing”, robots and computers are being developed to analyze facial expressions, interpret our emotions, and respond accordingly. Applications include, for instance, monitoring an individual’s health and well-being, gauging student interest in classrooms, helping diagnose signs of certain diseases, and developing helpful robot companions.

A challenge, however, is people express emotions quite differently, depending on many factors. General differences can be seen between cultures, genders, and age groups. But other differences are even more fine-grained: The time of day, how much you slept, or even your level of familiarity with a conversation partner leads to subtle variations in the way you express, say, happiness or sadness in a given moment. Human brains instinctively catch these deviations, but machines struggle. Deep-learning techniques were developed in recent years to help catch the subtleties, but they’re still not as accurate or as adaptable across different populations as they could be.

The researchers have developed a machine-learning model that outperforms traditional systems in capturing these small facial expression variations, to better gauge mood while training on thousands of images of faces. Moreover, by using a little extra training data, the model can be adapted to an entirely new group of people, with the same efficacy. The aim is to improve existing affective-computing technologies.
Human-Robotic interactions, such as for personal robotics or robots used for educational purposes, where the robots need to adapt to assess the emotional states of many different people. One version, for instance, has been used in helping robots better interpret the moods of children with autism.

Market Analysis: Cognitive Computing, recent industry developments

In the ever dynamical world of data technology, business organizations are left with a massive amount of data with them. This data includes very crucial info for business use, however business organizations are solely ready to utilize 200th of whole data accessible with them with the use of traditional data analytics technology. To method and interpret the reaming 80th of the data that's within the form of videos, images, and human voice (also referred to as dark data), there's a requirement of cognitive computing systems. Cognitive computing  systems are a typical combination of hardware and software that constitute natural language processing (NLP) and machine language, and have the capability to collect, process, and interpret the dark data available with business organizations. Cognitive computing systems process and interpret the data in a probabilistic manner, unlike conventional big data analytic tools. However, to cope with the continuously evolving technolog...

Machine Learning for Automated Data Science Tools

For the past five years, a team of research scientist at MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems has been trying to create automation tools that enable the subject matter experts to use ML. The team first divided the process into a discrete set of steps. For example, the first step involved searching for buried patterns with predictive power, known as “feature selection engineering.” Second is called "model selection," in which the best modeling technique is chosen from the many available options. These steps are automated; releasing open-source tools to help domain experts efficiently complete them. Then these automated tools are grouped together, turning raw data into a trustworthy, conveyable model over the chain of seven steps. This chain of automation makes it possible for subject matter experts even those without data science experience to use machine learning to solve business problems. Through machine learning for automated data scie...
