Affective Computing: Fundamentals and Applications
Om denne lydboken
What Is Affective Computing
The study and development of systems and technologies that are capable of recognizing, interpreting, processing, and simulating human affects is what is known as affective computing. It is a multidisciplinary field that includes computer science, psychology, and cognitive science among its subfields. Although the roots of some of the field's fundamental concepts may be traced all the way back to early philosophical investigations into emotion, the more contemporary area of computer science can be traced back to Rosalind Picard's work on affective computing that she released in 1995 and her book Affective Computing that was published by MIT Press. The capacity to provide robots emotional intelligence, particularly the ability to simulate empathy, is one of the goals for the study that is being done. The computer should be able to interpret the emotional state of humans and modify its behavior to them in order to provide an appropriate reaction to the emotions being displayed by the humans.
