The present research aimed to employ dynamic and static emotions as social cues in e-learning environments for computers to be able to convey social presence and increase children’s motivation with learning. To understand how children of different gender react to the two types of emoticon in e-learning environment, a math problem-solving practice program was designed to test their reactions. Th...

A temporal analysis of emoticon use in Swedish, Italian, German and English asynchronous electronic communication is reported. Emoticons are classified as positive, negative and neutral. Postings to newsgroups over a 66 week period are considered. The aggregate analysis of emoticon use in newsgroups for science and politics tend on the whole to be consistent over the entire time period. Where p...

The aim of this paper is to produce a methodology for analyzing sentiments of selected Twitter messages, better known as Tweets. This project elaborates on two experiments carried out to analyze the sentiment of Tweets from SemEval-2016 Task 4 Subtask A and Subtask B. Our method is built from a simple unigram model baseline with three main feature enhancements incorporated into the model: 1) em...

The Face Expression Based Emoticon Identification (FEBEI) system is an open source extension to the Tracker.js framework which converts a human facial expression to the best matching emoticon. The contribution of this project was to build this robust classifier which can identify facial expression in real time without any reliance on an external server or computation node. An entirely client-si...

Emoticons are a key aspect of text-based communication, and are the equivalent of nonverbal cues to the medium of online chat, forums, and social media like Twitter. As emoticons become more widespread in computer mediated communication, a vocabulary of different symbols with subtle emotional distinctions emerges especially across different cultures. In this paper, we investigate the semantic, ...

Starting from the overview, this article explains connotation of computer vision art and animation, discusses practical application in emoticon order to reflect charm integration technology art, provide some value for research related fields.

Past research has demonstrated intercultural differences in emoticon use with effects of the topic of discourse (e.g. science vs. politics) interacting with the culture of online postings (e.g. UK, Italy, Sweden, Germany). The current research focuses within a discourse, and within a lingua franca for communication and attempts to assess whether emoticon use varies as a function of user-type wi...

Emoticons are graphic signs, such as :-)(smiley face), that often accompany textual computer-mediated communication (Dresner & Herring, 2010). Emoticons are thought to be used to convey emotion (Derks et al, 2007; Wolf, 2000). Specifically, it is believed that emoticons supplement electronic communication with non-verbal cues, such as those often seen in face-to-face communication (Lo, 2008). W...

The analysis of emoticon (emotional icon) use in online newsgroups appears to reinforce the stereotype of the emotional female and the inexpressive male until further examination suggests otherwise. The most interesting finding of this study is illustrated by the pattern of change that develops for both genders when they move from a predominantly same gender newsgroup to a mixed-gender newsgrou...
