Tune in to your emotions: a robust personalized affective music player
The emotional power of music is exploited in a personalized affective music player (AMP) that selects music for mood enhancement. A biosignal approach is used to measure listenersâ personal emotional reactions to their own music as input for affective user models. Regression and kernel density estimation are applied to model the physiological changes the music elicits. Using these models, personalized music selections based on an affective goal state can be made. The AMP was validated in real-world trials over the course of several weeks. Results show that our models can cope with noisy situations and handle large inter-individual differences in the music domain. The AMP augments music listening where its techniques enable automated affect guidance. Our approach provides valuable insights for affective computing and user modeling, for which the AMP is a suitable carrier application
Adversarial Training in Affective Computing and Sentiment Analysis: Recent Advances and Perspectives
Over the past few years, adversarial training has become an extremely active
research topic and has been successfully applied to various Artificial
Intelligence (AI) domains. As a potentially crucial technique for the
development of the next generation of emotional AI systems, we herein provide a
comprehensive overview of the application of adversarial training to affective
computing and sentiment analysis. Various representative adversarial training
algorithms are explained and discussed accordingly, aimed at tackling diverse
challenges associated with emotional AI systems. Further, we highlight a range
of potential future research directions. We expect that this overview will help
facilitate the development of adversarial training for affective computing and
sentiment analysis in both the academic and industrial communities
