TLDR
An affective gaming interface and a user study which evaluates user response to affectiveGaming are reported on and the implementation of the game system, which takes a player's facial expressions as input and dynamically responds to the player by changing the game elements, is described.Abstract:
In this paper we report on an affective gaming interface and a user study which evaluates user response to affective gaming. "Feed the Fish" is an affect-aware game system which takes a player's facial expressions as input and dynamically responds to the player by changing the game elements. The goal of this system is to use human expressions to build a communication channel between the game and players so playing the game can be more enjoyable. We describe the implementation of the game system and discuss the result of the user study we have conducted with 22 participants. Participants enjoyed the game with the affect-aware system more than a non affective version of the game, and they felt it was more exciting since the game was more challenging and dynamic.read more

Predicting Categorical Emotions by Jointly Learning Primary and Secondary Emotions through Multitask Learning
Reza Lotfian,Carlos Busso +1 more
TL;DR: This work takes advantage of both types of annotations to improve the performance of emotion classification and shows that considering secondary emotion labels during the learning process leads to relative improvements of 7.9% in F1-score for an 8-class emotion classification task.

Curriculum Learning for Speech Emotion Recognition from Crowdsourced Labels
Reza Lotfian,Carlos Busso +1 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a method to design a curriculum for machine-learning to maximize the efficiency during the training process of deep neural networks (DNNs) for speech emotion recognition, where they used the disagreement between evaluators as a measure of difficulty for the classification task.
