While social support has been widely investigated as a factor related to improved quality of life (QoL) in adults with chronic illness, it i...

Although computers could offer emotional support as well as task support when aiding a user for a complex task, there is little current understanding of how they might do this. Moreover existing demonstrations of emotional support, though promising, only cover a small number of types of support and investigate a limited number of algorithms designed by hand. In this paper, we present an empiric...

The objective of this paper is to apply Support Vector Machines to the problem of classifying emotion on images of human faces. This welldefined problem is complicated by the natural variation in people’s faces, requiring the classification algorithm to distinguish the small number of relevant features from the large pool of input features. Recent experimentation using neural networks has achie...
