Affective Computing and AI - Special guest from NY

Digital assistance like Siri, Amazon Alexa and robots like Softbank's Pepper have become ubiquitous within the past few years.

However, these agents still lack the capability to truly succeed in understanding to better interact with humans as they do not possess the ability to understand human emotions and provide an approrpriate response in return.

The field of affective computing aims to teach computers how to recognize, understand, respond, and even generate emotions.

In this seminar, we introduce some of the past, present, and future research of affective computing, in particular human affect recognition along with the major challenges that are currently being tackled.

In particular, we present some bodies of works that have been done and are currently on going, such as:

• Facial Emotion Detection
  
• Emotion Recognition at the Salon - AI Smart Mirror
  
• Body Language Emotion Detection
  
• Representation Learning of Human Emotions
