Abstract

There has been an increasing interest in exploring how recognition of a user's affective state can be exploited in creating more effective human-computer interaction. It has been argued that IUIs may be able to improve interaction by including affective elements in their communication with the user (e.g. by showing empathy via adequate phrasing of feedback.) This workshop will address a variety of issues related to the development of what we will call the affective loop: detection/modeling of relevant user's states, selection of appropriate system responses (including responses that are designed to influence the user affective state but are not overtly affective), as well as synthesis of the appropriate affective expressions.
