- Title: Mirror Ritual: Human-Machine Co-Construction of Emotion
- Authors: Nina Rajcic and Jon McCormack
- Abstract summary: Mirror Ritual is an interactive installation that challenges the existing paradigms in our understanding of human emotion and machine perception.
The audience are encouraged to make sense of the mirror's poetry by framing it with respect to their recent life experiences.
This process of affect labelling and contextualisation works to not only regulate emotion, but helps to construct the rich personal narratives that constitute human identity.

- Abstract: Mirror Ritual is an interactive installation that challenges the existing
paradigms in our understanding of human emotion and machine perception. In
contrast to prescriptive interfaces, the work's real-time affective interface
engages the audience in the iterative conceptualisation of their emotional
state through the use of affectively-charged machine generated poetry. The
audience are encouraged to make sense of the mirror's poetry by framing it with
respect to their recent life experiences, effectively `putting into words'
their felt emotion. This process of affect labelling and contextualisation
works to not only regulate emotion, but helps to construct the rich personal
narratives that constitute human identity.

Causal Emotion Entailment (CEE) aims to identify the causal utterances in a conversation that stimulate the emotions expressed in a target utterance.
Current works in CEE mainly focus on modeling semantic and emotional interactions in conversations.
We introduce a step-by-step reasoning method, Emotion-Cause Reasoning Chain (ECR-Chain), to infer the stimulus from the target emotional expressions in conversations.

Representations and Neural Vocoder-based Resynthesis [15.16865739526702]
We introduce a methodology that uses self-supervised networks to disentangle the lexical, speaker, and emotional content of the utterance.
We then use a HiFiGAN vocoder to resynthesise the disentangled representations to a speech signal of the targeted emotion.
Results reveal that the proposed approach is aptly conditioned on the emotional content of input speech and is capable of synthesising natural-sounding speech for a target emotion.

We propose a novel formulation that measures the relative difference between the speech samples of different emotions.
We then incorporate our formulation into a sequence-to-sequence emotional text-to-speech framework.
At run-time, we control the model to produce the desired emotion mixture by manually defining an emotion attribute vector.

Emotional voice conversion (EVC) seeks to convert the emotional state of an utterance while preserving the linguistic content and speaker identity.
In this paper, we aim to explicitly characterize and control the intensity of emotion.
We propose to disentangle the speaker style from linguistic content and encode the speaker style into a style embedding in a continuous space that forms the prototype of emotion embedding.

Model [9.595357496779394]
We use the emotion component process model (CPM) by Scherer (2005) to explain emotion communication.
CPM states that emotions are a coordinated process of various subcomponents, in reaction to an event, namely the subjective feeling, the cognitive appraisal, the expression, a physiological bodily reaction, and a motivational action tendency.
We find that emotions on Twitter are predominantly expressed by event descriptions or subjective reports of the feeling, while in literature, authors prefer to describe what characters do, and leave the interpretation to the reader.

We propose a well-grounded circular-structured representation to utilize the prior knowledge for visual emotion distribution learning.
To be specific, we first construct an Emotion Circle to unify any emotional state within it.
On the proposed Emotion Circle, each emotion distribution is represented with an emotion vector, which is defined with three attributes.

Lack of external knowledge makes empathetic dialogue systems difficult to perceive implicit emotions and learn emotional interactions from limited dialogue history.
We propose to leverage external knowledge, including commonsense knowledge and emotional lexical knowledge, to explicitly understand and express emotions in empathetic dialogue generation.
