Affective computing is an interdisciplinary field involving computer science, psychology, and cognitive science.
The goal of designing effective computing systems is to simulate and recognize human-like emotions. It can be considered a part of emotional intelligence, a subset of artificial intelligence.
The best example is the new Apple Watch Ultra which uses sensors to detect body temperature, skin temperature and other psychological data through its sensors and communicates it with AI systems for health analysis.
Affective computing is an emerging field positioned at the intersection of artificial intelligence and behavioral science. Affective computing involves the study and development of systems that recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human emotions. It has recently seen significant progress from exploratory research to real-world applications.
Multimodal Affective Computing offers readers a concise overview of state-of-the-art and emerging themes in affective computing, including a comprehensive review of applied affective computing systems and existing approaches to social signal processing.
It covers functional facial expression recognition, emotional body expression, emotional speech processing, emotional text and dialogue processing. Furthermore, it covers emotion, theoretical foundations, and computational models of emotional speech and music processing.
This book identifies future directions for affective computing and outlines guidelines for developing next-generation affective computing systems that are efficient, secure, and human-centered.
The book is an informative resource for academics, professionals, researchers and students in engineering and medical institutions working in applied affective computing, sentiment analysis and emotion recognition.
