Emotion Recognition in a Multi-Componential Framework: The Role of Physiology

Gelareh Mohammadi, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

The Component Process Model is a well-established framework describing an emotion as a dynamic process with five highly interrelated components: cognitive appraisal, expression, motivation, physiology and feeling. Yet, few empirical studies have systematic ...

Towards Empathetic Open-Domain Chatbots

Yubo Xie

The research community of dialog generation has been interested in incorporating emotional information into the design of open-domain dialog systems ever since neural networks (sequence-to-sequence models in particular) were adopted for modeling dialogs. T ...

Emotion Recognition in a Multi-Componential Framework: The Role of Physiology

Gelareh Mohammadi

Emotions are rich and complex experiences involving various behavioral and physiological responses. While many empirical studies have focused on discrete and dimensional representations of emotions, these representations do not fully reconcile with recent ...

Emotional empathy and engineering students’moral reasoning

Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk

Although engineering education is often characterized as a rational activity, research suggests that emotions are vital for learning at all levels of education. In ethics education, there is evidence that including mild emotional information in case studie ...

Emotions in Engineering Education: Preliminary Results from a Scoping Review

Roland John Tormey

There is today a broad consensus that emotions influence all forms of teaching and learning, and scholarship on Emotions in Engineering Education (EEE) is an emerging and rapidly growing field. However, this nascent research is currently very dispersed and ...

Towards Recognizing Emotion in the Latent Space

Emotion recognition is usually achieved by collecting features (physiological signals, events, facial expressions, etc.) to predict an emotional ground truth. This ground truth is arguably unreliable due to its subjective nature. In this paper, we introduc ...

Dynamic functional brain networks underlying the temporal inertia of negative emotions

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey

Affective inertia represents the lasting impact of transient emotions at one time point on affective state at a subsequent time point. Here we describe the neural underpinnings of inertia following negative emotions elicited by sad events in movies. Using ...

Comic Based Learning for Students with Visual Impairments

Kalpani Anuradha Welivita

Visual impairment can affect a student's ability to learn since their concept development when interacting with educational material is being limited. Learning activities based on images and visually rich content are mainstream learning methods, where faci ...

The role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in dorsomedial prefrontal-amygdala neural circuitry during positive-social emotion regulation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Yury Koush, Gwladys Rey

Positive-social emotions mediate one's cognitive performance, mood, well-being, and social bonds, and represent a critical variable within therapeutic settings. It has been shown that the upregulation of positive emotions in social situations is associated ...

The emotional entanglements of smartphones "in the field": on social positioning, power relations, and research ethics

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Darshan Santani

Despite human geographers’ growing recognition of the need to explore how digital technologies are increasingly co‐producing geographies, the methodological implications of such forms of data production are rarely discussed. This paper explores how smartph ...

Context-Aware Emotion Recognition Networks

Seungryong Kim

Traditional techniques for emotion recognition have focused on the facial expression analysis only, thus providing limited ability to encode context that comprehensively represents the emotional responses. We present deep networks for context-aware emotion ...

Modeling the Impact of Modifiers on Emotional Statements

Pearl Pu Faltings, Valentina Sintsova

Humans use a variety of modifiers to enrich communications with one another. While this is a deliberate subtlety in our language, the presence of modifiers can cause problems for emotion analysis by machines. Our research objective is to understand and com ...

The City of Extended Emotions

Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Cities are much more than just the background of our lives, or complex artefacts. They are the social field and the content over which we quarrel; the reason and the tool by which we co-operate. Cities are shaped in the form of our passions. Those passions ...
