The growing interest in the affective component of workplace has lead to a shift in organizational behavior studies, recognizing that people’s emotions influence performance. Researchers have been steadily showing how employee decisions and actions are linked to emotions at personal, interpersonal and organizational levels. In the context of an organizational setting, a positive climate contrib...

Emotional Expressions are an integral component of the reliability when animating virtual characters. But the sheer amount of possible emotions and the complexity in their selection makes it difficult to develop an intuitive way of controlling arbitrary facial expressions interactively in real-time. This work aims at finding a decent representation of emotions and their expressions, as well as ...

Computational analysis of emotions has been considered a challenging and interesting task. Researchers rely on various cues such as physiological sensors and facial expressions to identify human emotions. However, there are few prior works who work with textual input to analyse these emotions. This survey attempts to summarize these diverse approaches, datasets and resources that have been repo...

One of the challenges of designing virtual humans is the definition of appropriate models of the relation between realistic emotions and the coordination of behaviors in several 27 modalities. In this paper, we present the annotation, representation and modeling of multimodal visual behaviors occurring during complex emotions. We illustrate our work 29 using a corpus of TV interviews. This corp...

Autonomy is a very important property for a robot to have, yet implementing it in a robot is far f~om trivial, particularly when one requires the meaning of autonomy to include self-motivation, instead of mere automaticity. The fact that emotions are considered to be essential to human reasoning and human motivation in particular, suggests that they might play an important role in robot autonom...

Emotion in speech is an important and challenging research area. Addition or understanding of emotions from speech is challenging. But an equally difficult task is to identify the intended emotion from an audio or speech. Understanding emotions is important not only in itself as a research area, but also, for adding emotions to synthesized speech. Evaluating synthesized speech with emotions can...
