Introduction
Affective computing became a key scenario for Artificial Intelligence. Various emotion-mining techniques can be exploited for creating and automating personalized interfaces or subcomponent technology for larger systems, i.e. in business intelligence, affective tutoring, recommender systems, social robots.
Different from sentiment analysis, this approach works at a deeper level of abstraction, aiming to recognize specific emotions and not only the positive/negative sentiment, to extract, manage and predict emotions in limited sets, basing on well-accepted or novel models, thus to use them to be reported/classified or understood/elicited/expressed by a machine.
The aim of the ACER workshop is to explore the Emotion Recognition area in depth, and to present, discuss and ideate novel affective computing and emotion recognition techniques in WI-related task, providing a cross-fertilized network of different communities focused on research, development and applications of emotion recognition.
ACER invites original high-quality papers: conceptual, empirical as well as theoretical papers are welcome; graduate students are invited to submit their WI thesis showcase; experienced researchers are warmly invited to submit novel or updated versions of their work.
