Abstract
This paper describes ongoing work towards building a multimodal
computer system capable of sensing the affective state of a user.
Two major problem areas exist in the affective communication research.
Firstly, affective states are defined and described in an inconsistent
way. Secondly, the type of training data commonly used gives an
oversimplified picture of affective expression. Most studies ignore
the dynamic, versatile and personalised nature of affective
expression and the influence that social setting, context and culture
have on its rules of display. We present a novel approach to
affective sensing, using a generic model of affective communication
and a set of ontologies to assist in the analysis of concepts and to
enhance the recognition process. Whilst the scope of the ontology
provides for a full range of multimodal sensing, this paper focuses
on spoken language and facial expressions as examples.
