Résumé: Person-Independent Multimodal Emotion Detection for Children with High-Functioning Autism
Description: Annanda Sousa The use of affect-sensitive interfaces carries the promise of enhancing human-computer interaction by delivering a system capable of identifying a user's emotions and adapt its content accordingly. Today's technology shows great potential to support children with autism, for example by using computer systems to improve their social skills. Generally, however, this technology does not encompass the potential of affect-sensitive interfaces. This is mainly due to Emotion Detection (ED) models built for the general population usually not performing well when applied to children with autism, who express emotions differently. The aim of this project is therefore to build a person-independent Multimodal Emotion Detection system tailored for children with high-functioning autism for the ultimate goal of applying it to design affect-sensitive interfaces dedicated to children with autism. This is a work in progress and the project expects to build upon the current body of knowledge on methods to apply ED systems to this specific subset of the general population. We expect to apply the overall theoretical and practical design perspectives that arise from this research investigation (e.g. analysis of modalities and features extraction, behavioural cues based features, fusion layers and classifier techniques) to propose a guiding framework for future studies.
