Recently, creation and sharing of information make progress actively through the SNS(Social Network Service) such as twitter, facebook and so on. It is necessary to extract the knowledge from aggregated information and data mining is one of the knowledge based approach. Especially, emotion analysis is a recent subdiscipline of text classification, which is concerned with massive collective intelligence from an opinion, policy, propensity and sentiment. In this paper, We propose the emotion prediction method, which extracts the significant key words and related key words from SNS paragraph, then predicts the emotion using these extracted emotion features.

This paper is to present gesture analysis for human-robot interaction. Understanding human emotions through gesture is one of the necessary skills fo the computers to interact intelligently with their human counterparts. Gesture analysis is consisted of several processes such as detecting of hand, extracting feature, and recognizing emotions. For efficient operation we used recognizing a gesture with HMM(Hidden Markov Model). We constructed a large gesture database, with which we verified our method. As a result, our method is successfully included and operated in a mobile system.

필적 감정은 개인의 고유한 필적 개성을 이용하여 임의의 두 필기 문장 또는 텍스트가 동일인에 의해 작성되었는지를 판별하는 기술로 유서대필 및 보안수사, 서명의 검증, 범죄 수사 등에 활용되어지고 있다. 이러한 작업은 감정 전문가의 판단기준에 의해 필적의 유사성을 판별하기 때문에 객관성 결여 및 과도한 소요 시간, 과도한 처리비용의 문제를 내포하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하여 판별의 객관성과 업무의 신속한 처리를 가능하게 하기 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터를 통한 패턴 분석을 적용하여 두 필적의 유사성을 판별하는 방법을 본 논문에서는 제안한다. 이를 위하여 본 논문은 학습단계와 자동분석단계로 나뉘며, 학습단계에서는 입력된 문서영상에서 필적의 영역을 추출한 후, 특징을 추출하고 DTW연산을 통하여 학습을 한다. 자동분석단계에서는 대조할 문서영상에서의 특징을 추출하고 입력된 문서영상과 대조할 문서영상간의 마할라노비스 거리(Mahalanobis Distance)를 구하여 서명 및 필적에 대한 유사도를 도출한다. 실험은 4명의 필적을 이용하여 비교하였으며, 우수한 결과를 보였다.

Recently, robots technique has been developed remarkably. Emotion recognition is necessary to make an intimate robot. This paper shows the simulator and simulation result which recognize or classify emotions by learning pitch pattern. Also, because the pitch is not sufficient for recognizing emotion, we added acoustic elements. For that reason, we analyze the relation between emotion and acoustic elements. The simulator is composed of the DRNN(Dynamic Recurrent Neural Network), Feature extraction. DRNN is a learning algorithm for pitch pattern.

This paper presents the novel feature selection method for Emotion Recognition, which may include a lot of original features. Specially, the emotion recognition in this paper treated speech signal with emotion. The feature selection has some benefits on the pattern recognition performance and 'the curse of dimension'. Thus, We implemented a simulator called 'IFS' and those result was applied to a emotion recognition system(ERS), which was also implemented for this research. Our novel feature selection method was basically affected by Reinforcement Learning and since it needs responses from human user, it is called 'Interactive Feature Selection'. From performing the IFS, we could get 3 best features and applied to ERS. Comparing those results with randomly selected feature set, The 3 best features were better than the randomly selected feature set.

We propose a novel method for modeling emotional dimensions using expansion of Russell's (1980) emotional dimensions (Circumplex Model). The Circumplex Model represents emotional words in two axes (Arousal, Valence). However, other researchers have insisted that location of word in Russell's model which is expressed by single point could not represent exact position. Consequently, it is difficult to apply this model in engineering fields (such as Science of Emotion & Sensibility, Human-Computer-Interaction, Ergonomics, etc.). Therefore, we propose a new modeling method which expresses emotional word not as a single point but as a region. We conducted survey to obtain actual data and derived equations using ellipse formula to represent emotional region. Furthermore, we applied ANEW and IAPS which are commonly used in many studies to our emotional model using pattern recognition algorithm. Using our method, we could solve problems with Russell's model and our model is easily applicable to the field of engineering.

This study describes an emotion classification method using two different feature parameters of four-channel EEG signals. One of the parameters is linear prediction coefficients based on AR modelling. Another one is cross-correlation coefficients on frequencies of ${\theta}$, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ bands of FFT spectra. Using the linear predictor coefficients and the cross-correlation coefficients of frequencies, the emotion classification test for four emotions, such as anger, sad, joy, and relaxation is performed with an artificial neural network. The results of the two parameters showed that the linear prediction coefficients have produced the better results for emotion classification than the cross-correlation coefficients of FFT spectra.

In relation to the extraction of opinion words, it may be difficult to directly apply most of the methods suggested in existing English studies to the Korean language. Additionally, the manual method suggested by studies in Korea poses a problem with the extraction of opinion words in that it takes a long time. In addition, English thesaurus-based extraction of Korean opinion words leaves a challenge to reconsider the deterioration of precision attributed to the one to one mismatching between Korean and English words. Studies based on Korean phrase analyzers may potentially fail due to the fact that they select opinion words with a low level of frequency. Therefore, this study will suggest the k-Structure (k=5 or 8) method, which may possibly improve the precision while mutually complementing existing studies in Korea, in automatically extracting opinion words from a simple sentence in a given Korean product review. A simple sentence is defined to be composed of at least 3 words, i.e., a sentence including an opinion word in ${\pm}2$ distance from the attribute name (e.g., the 'battery' of a camera) of a evaluated product (e.g., a 'camera'). In the performance experiment, the precision of those opinion words for 8 previously given attribute names were automatically extracted and estimated for 1,868 product reviews collected from major domestic shopping malls, by using k-Structure. The results showed that k=5 led to a recall of 79.0% and a precision of 87.0%; while k=8 led to a recall of 92.35% and a precision of 89.3%. Also, a test was conducted using PMI-IR (Pointwise Mutual Information - Information Retrieval) out of those methods suggested in English studies, which resulted in a recall of 55% and a precision of 57%.

This study examined the characteristics of brain's reaction pattern concerning the preference for product images and compared them with the result of subjects' intuitive evaluation of their preference for the same materials. Two tests were conducted; the first one that calculated comfort properties based on brainwave measurements in order to examine the impression given by the images of products presented separately, one-by-one, and the second one that had subjects evaluate the preference directly by comparing the images of all products simultaneously. The first test was titled 'Independent Cognitive Response' and the second test, 'Relative Cognitive Response', and their characteristics were as follows. In the 'Independent Cognitive Response', the state of emotion was expressed in absolute values based on the comparison with the information accumulated through the subject's own experience and the feeling expressed as 'pleasant' or 'unpleasant' persisted as absolute values. In the 'Relative Cognitive Response', the state of emotion relative to the information of other images compared in the stage of perceiving the images was expressed, and in this case, the state of emotion described as 'calm' or 'excited' acted as relative values.

Rational sense is affected by emotion. If we add the factor of estimated emotion by environment information into robots, we may get more intelligent and human-friendly robots. However, various sensory information and pattern classification are prescribed for robots to learn emotion so that the networks are suitable for the necessity of robots. Neural network has superior ability to extract character of system but neural network has defect of temporal cross talk and local minimum convergence. To solve the defects, many kinds of modular neural networks have been proposed because they divide a complex problem into simple several subproblems. The modular neural network, introduced by Jacobs and Jordan, shows an excellent ability of recomposition and recombination of complex work. On the other hand, the recurrent network acquires state representations and representations of state make the recurrent neural network suitable for diverse applications such as nonlinear prediction and modeling. In this paper, we applied recurrent network for the expert network in the modular neural network structure to learn data pattern based on emotional assessment. To show the performance of the proposed network, simulation of learning the environment and behavior pattern is proceeded with the real time implementation. The given problem is very complex and has too many cases to learn. The result will show the performance and good ability of the proposed network and will be compared with the result of other method, general modular neural network.
