A friend of @czds and me, Didith Rodrigo, posted an interesting take on affective computing and educational technology. Unfortunately, a link to the post isn’t possible. Dr. Rodrigo teaches at Ateneo University in The Philippines 🇵🇭 Here’s a thread with a snippet. If you find this subject of interest, you should search for her papers in this topic, as well as those she suggests

📰 Quantifying Valence and Arousal in Text with Multilingual Pre-trained Transformers

This work evaluates the use of pre-trained Transformers to predict valence and arousal in text, using a dimensional approach. Our results show that model size significantly impacts prediction quality, and fine-tuning a large model enables confident predictions across multiple languages.

⚡ I'm launching a new podcast!

2023 brought us the brains to machines with LLMs.
2024 brings the emotions with Affective Computing.

That's why the first season of my new podcast, Digital Dialogs, is all about Affective Computing and emotional AI! In the first episode, I explain the basics and set the stage for the incredible discussions to come.
If you're fascinated by how machines can understand and respond to our emotions, this is for you.

EU AI Act, approved today despite opposition from states, bans emotion-recognition systems in edu institutions, and destroys startups and companies, including mine.

It’s a massive fail on part of European educators and technologists, that affective learning agents are lumped with AIs scraping CCTV to build facial recog databases.

It destroys so much value, and denies benefits particularly to learners with special needs.

They “rate an employee’s emotional status based on word patterns and content. The company Cogito, for instance, sells software to call centers that records and then analyzes calls between employees and customers, with a real-time behavioral dashboard that tells the employees when to be more empathetic, when to pick up the pace, and when to ‘exude more confidence and professionalism.’”

Wondering whether the failure of learning systems designers to engage with research on the role of emotion in learning is the reason why #OnlineLearning is broken and learners don’t stick with it.

“We might describe the MoodScope as partaking of drone logic (and drone experience): it envisions a network of mobile, distributed, always-on sensors that underwrite automated forms of data collection, processing and response (targeting). The invocation of ‘mood’ should not distract – it is a placeholder that does not refer to an underlying state but simply to patterns of correlations.”

Deeply honored to receive the Best Dissertation Award from @affectScience

It has been a tremendous joy to develop these ideas with @rebecca_saxe, who was involved in every aspect of my thesis.

I'm beyond grateful to Rebecca and Josh Tenenbaum for helping me develop a research program that I'm excited to continue past my PhD. The annual SAS conference makes it abundantly clear that the topic and field are only getting more interesting each year.

Next was a fascinating discussion with Abdallah El Ali on designing affective augmentation systems at @chiwork. Using quick applications of heat and cold, the work presented here shows significant changes in affective reactions to statements. The implications of this kind of intervention is profound and complex, and combined with other work in #VR influence presents complex ethical questions.
