Emotional Gait Generation for a Humanoid Robot

In this paper, an emotional mathematical model and affective state probability description space of a humanoid robot are set up on the basis of psycho-dynamics＇ psychological energy and affective energy conservation law. The emotional state transferring process and hidden Markov chain algorithm of stimulating transition process are then studied. The simulation results show that the mathematical model is applicable to the authentic affective state change rule of human beings. Finally, the gait generation experiment results of control signal and electric current tracking wave-form are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed mathematical model.

An Emotion Analysis Method Using Multi-Channel Convolution Neural Network in Social Networks

As an interdisciplinary comprehensive subject involving multidisciplinary knowledge,emotional analysis has become a hot topic in psychology,health medicine and computer science.It has a high comprehensive and practical application value.Emotion research based on the social network is a relatively new topic in the field of psychology and medical health research.The text emotion analysis of college students also has an important research significance for the emotional state of students at a certain time or a certain period,so as to understand their normal state,abnormal state and the reason of state change from the information they wrote.In view of the fact that convolutional neural network cannot make full use of the unique emotional information in sentences,and the need to label a large number of highquality training sets for emotional analysis to improve the accuracy of the model,an emotional analysismodel using the emotional dictionary andmultichannel convolutional neural network is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the input matrix of emotion dictionary is constructed according to the emotion information,and the different feature information of sentences is combined to form different network input channels,so that the model can learn the emotion information of input sentences from various feature representations in the training process.Then,the loss function is reconstructed to realize the semi supervised learning of the network.Finally,experiments are carried on COAE 2014 and self-built data sets.The proposed model can not only extract more semantic information in emotional text,but also learn the hidden emotional information in emotional text.The experimental results show that the proposed emotion analysis model can achieve a better classification performance.Compared with the best benchmark model gram-CNN,the F1 value can be increased by 0.026 in the self-built data set,and it can be increased by 0.032 in the COAE 2014 data set.

Artificial emotion model based on reinforcement learning mechanism of neural network

A hierarchical-processed frame construction of artificial emotion model for intelligent system is proposed in the paper according to the basic conclusion of emotional psychology. The general method of emotion processing, which considers only one single layer, has been changed in the presented construction. An artificial emotional development model is put forward based on reinforcement learning mechanism of neural network. The new model takes the emotion itself as reinforcement signal and describes its different influences on action learning efficiency corresponding to different individualities. In the end, simulation result based on child playmate robot is discussed and the effectiveness of the model is verified.

Emotion model of interactive virtual humans on the basis of MDP

Emotion plays an essential role in the adaptation and social communication of organisms.Similarly,an appro-priately timed and clearly expressed emotion is a central requirement for believable interactive virtual humans.Presently,incorporating emotion into virtual humans has gained increasing attention in the academia and industry.This strong interest is driven by a wide spectrum of promising applications in many areas such as virtual reality,e-learning,entertainment,etc.This paper introduces an emotion model of artificial psychology,in which the transition of emotion can be viewed as a Markov process and the relation of emotion,external incentive and personality can be described by a Markov decision process(MDP).In order to demonstrate the approach,this paper integrates the emotion model into a system composed of voice recognition and a realistic facial model.Thus,the model could be used for generating a variety of emotional expressions of autonomous,interactive virtual human beings.

Spatiotemporal emotion recognition based on 3D time-frequency domain feature matrix

The research of emotion recognition based on electroencephalogram(EEG)signals often ignores the related information between the brain electrode channels and the contextual emotional information existing in EEG signals,which may contain important characteristics related to emotional states.Aiming at the above defects,a spatiotemporal emotion recognition method based on a 3-dimensional(3 D)time-frequency domain feature matrix was proposed.Specifically,the extracted time-frequency domain EEG features are first expressed as a 3 D matrix format according to the actual position of the cerebral cortex.Then,the input 3 D matrix is processed successively by multivariate convolutional neural network(MVCNN)and long short-term memory(LSTM)to classify the emotional state.Spatiotemporal emotion recognition method is evaluated on the DEAP data set,and achieved accuracy of 87.58%and 88.50%on arousal and valence dimensions respectively in binary classification tasks,as well as obtained accuracy of 84.58%in four class classification tasks.The experimental results show that 3 D matrix representation can represent emotional information more reasonably than two-dimensional(2 D).In addition,MVCNN and LSTM can utilize the spatial information of the electrode channels and the temporal context information of the EEG signal respectively.
