Towards Sensor-free Academic Emotion Prediction in Programming Environment

he transition from traditional learning to practice-oriented programming learning will bring learners discomfort.The discomfort quickly breeds negative emotions when encountering programming difficulties,which leads the learner to lose interest in programming or even give up.Emotion plays a crucial role in learning.Educational psychology research shows that positive emotion can promote learning performance,increase learning interest and cultivate creative thinking.Accurate recognition and interpretation of programming learners’emotions can give them feedback in time,and adjust teaching strategies accurately and individually,which is of considerable significance to improve effects of programming learning and education.The existing methods of sensor-free emotion prediction include emotion prediction based on keyboard dynamic,mouse interaction data and interaction logs,respectively.However,none of the three studies considered the temporal characteristics of emotion,resulting in low recognition accuracy.For the first time,this paper proposes an emotion prediction model based on time series and context information.Then,we establish a Bi-recurrent neural network,obtain the time sequence characteristics of data automatically,and explore the application of deep learning in the field of Academic Emotion prediction.The results show that the classification ability of this model is much better than that of the original LSTM(Long-Short Term Memory),GRU(Gate Recurrent Unit)and RNN(Re-current Neural Network),and this model has better generalization ability.

Predicting Complex Word Emotions and Topics through a Hierarchical Bayesian Network

In this paper, we provide a Word Emotion Topic （WET） model to predict the complex word e- motion information from text, and discover the dis- trbution of emotions among different topics. A complex emotion is defined as the combination of one or more singular emotions from following 8 basic emotion categories： joy, love, expectation, sur- prise, anxiety, sorrow, anger and hate. We use a hi- erarchical Bayesian network to model the emotions and topics in the text. Both the complex emotions and topics are drawn from raw texts, without con- sidering any complicated language features. Our ex- periment shows promising results of word emotion prediction, which outperforms the traditional parsing methods such as the Hidden Markov Model and the Conditional Random Fields（CRFs） on raw text. We also explore the topic distribution by examining the emotion topic variation in an emotion topic diagram.

Image Emotion Classification Network Based on Multilayer Attentional Interaction,Adaptive Feature Aggregation

The image emotion classification task aims to use the model to automatically predict the emotional response of people when they see the image.Studies have shown that certain local regions are more likely to inspire an emotional response than the whole image.However,existing methods perform poorly in predicting the details of emotional regions and are prone to overfitting during training due to the small size of the dataset.Therefore,this study proposes an image emotion classification network based on multilayer attentional interaction and adaptive feature aggregation.To perform more accurate emotional region prediction,this study designs a multilayer attentional interaction module.The module calculates spatial attention maps for higher-layer semantic features and fusion features through amultilayer shuffle attention module.Through layer-by-layer up-sampling and gating operations,the higher-layer features guide the lower-layer features to learn,eventually achieving sentiment region prediction at the optimal scale.To complement the important information lost by layer-by-layer fusion,this study not only adds an intra-layer fusion to the multilayer attention interaction module but also designs an adaptive feature aggregation module.The module uses global average pooling to compress spatial information and connect channel information from all layers.Then,the module adaptively generates a set of aggregated weights through two fully connected layers to augment the original features of each layer.Eventually,the semantics and details of the different layers are aggregated through gating operations and residual connectivity to complement the lost information.To reduce overfitting on small datasets,the network is pre-trained on the FI dataset,and further weight fine-tuning is performed on the small dataset.The experimental results on the FI,Twitter I and Emotion ROI(Region of Interest)datasets show that the proposed network exceeds existing image emotion classification methods,with accuracies of 90.27%,84.66%and 84.96%.

Fine-Grained Emotion Prediction for Movie and Television scene images

For the task of content retrieval,analysis and generation of film and television scene images in the field of intelligent editing,fine-grained emotion recognition and prediction of images is of great significance.In this paper,the fusion of traditional perceptual features,art features and multi-channel deep learning features are used to reflect the emotion expression of different levels of the image.In addition,the integrated learning model with stacking architecture based on linear regression coefficient and sentiment correlations,which is called the LS-stacking model,is proposed according to the factor association between multi-dimensional emotions.The experimental results prove that the mixed feature and LS-stacking model can predict well on the 16 emotion categories of the self-built image dataset.This study improves the fine-grained recognition ability of image emotion by computers,which helps to increase the intelligence and automation degree of visual retrieval and post-production system.

ULM： A user-level model for emotion prediction in social networks

Users express their emotions in online social networks （OSNs）. Studying emotions is important for understanding user behaviors. Existing methods in emotion prediction mainly use personal emotion and friend emotion to predict target emotion. In this study, public sentiment is introduced to denote the sentiment of the majority in the network. Public conformity is calculated to measure the degree of a user conforming to the public sentiment. According to the public conformity, users are categorized into three classes： Approvers, independents, and starters. A user-level model for emotion prediction is proposed to predict target emotions of different classes of users, taking into account of the public sentiment, individual sentiment, friend sentiment and pseudo-friend sentiment. Relations between the public conformity and the structure of the network are studied. Experiments conducted on Sina Weibo show that the proposed model could achieve performance improvements to some existing methods in most cases.
