Abstract

Information recognition and extraction of human emotions are necessary for machines to communicate smoothly with humans and to realize emotion communications. We focus on human psychological characteristics to develop general-purpose agents that can recognize human emotion and create machine emotion. We comprehensively analyze brain waves, voice sounds and picture images that represent information included in emotion elements of phonation, facial expressions, and speech usage. We analyze and estimate many statistical data based on the latest achievements of brain science and psychology in order to derive transition networks for human psychological states. We establish a speaker word model for researching computer simulation of psychological change and emotional presentation, developing emotion interface, and establishing theoretic structure and realization method of emotion communication. A new approach for recognizing human emotion based on Mental State Transition Network will be described and one emotion estimation method based on sentence pattern of emotion occurrence events will be discussed, and some new results of the project will be given.
