Accurate recognition of human emotions is a crucial challenge in affective computing and human-robot interaction (HRI). Emotional states play a vital role in shaping behaviors, decisions, and social interactions. However, emotional…
Transmission of real-time data is strongly increasing due to remote processing of sensor data, among other things. A route to meet this demand is adaptive sensing, in which sensors acquire only relevant information using pre-processing at…
Affective interaction is not merely about recognizing emotions; it is an embodied, situated process shaped by context and co-created through interaction. In affective computing, the role of haptic feedback within dynamic emotional exchanges…
Surface sensing is widely employed in health diagnostics, manufacturing and safety monitoring. Advances in mobile sensing affords this potential for context awareness in mobile computing, typically with a single sensing modality. Emerging…
We introduce AdaptiSent, a new framework for Multimodal Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (MABSA) that uses adaptive cross-modal attention mechanisms to improve sentiment classification and aspect term extraction from both text and images.…
Today, the web has become a mandatory platform to express users' opinions, emotions and feelings about various events. Every person using his smartphone can give his opinion about the purchase of a product, the occurrence of an accident,…
