Constructing Knowledge for Automated Text-Based Emotion Expressions

Humans are used to convey their thought through their (conscious or unconscious) choice of words. Some words possess emotive meaning together with their descriptive meaning. We develop a prototype of a synthetic 3D face that shows emotion associated to text-based speech in an automated way. As a first step, we studied how humans express emotions in face to face communication. Based on this stud...

Constructing three emotion knowledge tests from the invariant measurement approach

BACKGROUND Psychological constructionist models like the Conceptual Act Theory (CAT) postulate that complex states such as emotions are composed of basic psychological ingredients that are more clearly respected by the brain than basic emotions. The objective of this study was the construction and initial validation of Emotion Knowledge measures from the CAT frame by means of an invariant measu...

Constructing emotion: the experience of fear as a conceptual act.

This study examined the hypothesis that emotion is a psychological event constructed from the more basic elements of core affect and conceptual knowledge. Participants were primed with conceptual knowledge of fear, conceptual knowledge of anger, or a neutral prime and then proceeded through an affect-induction procedure designed to induce unpleasant, high-arousal affect or a neutral affective s...

Constructing vertex decomposable graphs

‎Recently‎, ‎some techniques such as adding whiskers and attaching graphs to vertices of a given graph‎, ‎have been proposed for constructing a new vertex decomposable graph‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a new method for constructing vertex decomposable graphs‎. ‎Then we use this construction to generalize the result due to Cook and Nagel‎.
