Emotion Inference

Emotion inference, the process of automatically determining emotional states from various data sources like text, facial expressions, and contextual information, aims to build computational models that accurately and reliably understand human affect. Current research emphasizes context-aware approaches, often leveraging large language models and Bayesian methods to integrate diverse cues, and addresses critical issues like bias mitigation in training data and the development of interpretable models. This field is significant for advancing human-computer interaction, particularly in applications like robotics, mental health support, and social science research, where accurate emotion understanding is crucial for effective and ethical system design.
