  • The research held within the project has been promoted at the Virtual University Conference, Warsaw, Poland.
  • Experiments on Emotion Monitor are finished so far. Next are planned in September.

May 2016

  • Activity on creation of an affect-tagged lexicon SentiD is in progress. Please refer to SentiD subpage for details. Please participate in lexicon building – fill in a questionnaire!
  • Experiments are held on emotion recognition in educational processes on Emotion Monitor stand. If you are in Gdańsk and have an hour to spare – feel invited to participate.

March 2016

  • We have completed research within Task 1. Main results comprise:
    • Evaluations of emotion recognition methods, while applied in e-learning environments (experimental and questionaire-based)
    • Definition of a set of criteria for choosing emotion recognition solutions: availability of input channel, susceptibity to noise, compatibility with effective emotional activations model, accuracy in certain context, disturbance (interference with educational process) are among most important criteria.
    • Proposal of AFFINT process to design affective interventions and to select affect recognition solutions.
    • The AFFINT process description is prepared as a separate file (you are free to use it): Go to download
