Explaining the outcome of deep learning decisions based on affect is challenging but necessary if we expect social companion robots to interact with users on an emotional level. In this paper, we present a commonsense approach that utilizes…
Tactile afferents such as (RA), and Pacinian (PC) afferents that respond to external stimuli enable complicated actions such as grasping, stroking and identifying an object. To understand the tactile sensation induced by these actions…
Resting-state brain functional connectivity quantifies the synchrony between activity patterns of different brain regions. In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), each region comprises a set of spatially contiguous voxels at which…
This paper describes a novel method for building affectively intelligent human-interactive agents. The method is based on a key sociological insight that has been developed and extensively verified over the last twenty years, but has yet to…
Mapping discrete and dimensional models of emotion remains a persistent challenge in affective science and computing. This incompatibility hinders the combination of valuable data sets, creating a significant bottleneck for training robust…
Replicability analysis aims to identify the findings that replicated across independent studies that examine the same features. We provide powerful novel replicability analysis procedures for two studies for FWER and for FDR control on the…
Reproducibility remains a central challenge in computational social science, where complex workflows, evolving software ecosystems, and inconsistent documentation hinder researchers ability to re-execute published methods. This study…
Functional music applications, from consumer focus and sleep aids to clinical interventions, share a distinctive recommendation problem: success is defined by the listener's affective state, but online experimentation on emotion is…
As artificial agents display increasingly sophisticated emotion-like behaviors, frameworks for assessing whether such systems risk instantiating consciousness remain limited. This contribution asks whether synthetic emotion-like control can…
Emotion recognition is a critical component of affective computing. Training accurate machine learning models for emotion recognition typically requires a large amount of labeled data. Due to the subtleness and complexity of emotions,…
The visual scoring of arousals during sleep routinely conducted by sleep experts is a challenging task warranting an automatic approach. This paper presents an algorithm for automatic detection of arousals during sleep. Using the…
Affective Analysis is not a single task, and the valence-arousal value, expression class, and action unit can be predicted at the same time. Previous researches did not pay enough attention to the entanglement and hierarchical relation of…
Emotion recognition has the potential to play a pivotal role in enhancing human-computer interaction by enabling systems to accurately interpret and respond to human affect. Yet, capturing emotions in face-to-face contexts remains…
Expression recognition in in-the-wild video data remains challenging due to substantial variations in facial appearance, background conditions, audio noise, and the inherently dynamic nature of human affect. Relying on a single modality,…
Recognising expressive behaviours in face videos is a long-standing challenge in Affective Computing. Despite significant advancements in recent years, it still remains a challenge to build a robust and reliable system for naturalistic and…
Emotions widely affect human decision-making. This fact is taken into account by affective computing with the goal of tailoring decision support to the emotional states of individuals. However, the accurate recognition of emotions within…
Although psychological research indicates that bodily expressions convey important affective information, to date research in emotion recognition focused mainly on facial expression or voice analysis. In this paper we propose an approach to…
This paper introduces our method for the Emotional Reaction Intensity (ERI) Estimation Challenge, in CVPR 2023: 5th Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW). Based on the multimodal data provided by the…
The fight or flight phenomena is of evolutionary origin and responsible for the type of defensive behaviours enacted, when in the face of threat. This review attempts to draw the link between fear and aggression as behavioural motivations…
We participated in the 10th ABAW Challenge, focusing on the Emotional Mimicry Intensity (EMI) Estimation track on the Hume-Vidmimic2 dataset. This task aims to predict six continuous emotion dimensions: Admiration, Amusement, Determination,…
