- Abstract: This paper introduces a new form of real-time affective interface that
engages the user in a process of conceptualisation of their emotional state.
Inspired by Barrett's Theory of Constructed Emotion, `Mirror Ritual' aims to
expand upon the user's accessible emotion concepts, and to ultimately provoke
emotional reflection and regulation. The interface uses classified emotions --
obtained through facial expression recognition -- as a basis for dynamically
generating poetry. The perceived emotion is used to seed a poetry generation
system based on OpenAI's GPT-2 model, fine-tuned on a specially curated corpus.
We evaluate the device's ability to foster a personalised, meaningful
experience for individual users over a sustained period. A qualitative analysis
revealed that participants were able to affectively engage with the mirror,
with each participant developing a unique interpretation of its poetry in the
context of their own emotional landscape.

Through Metaphorical Visual Storytelling [18.612468743375015]
We present Metamorpheus, an affective interface that engages users in a creative visual storytelling of emotional experiences during dreams.
The system provides metaphor suggestions, and generates visual metaphors and text depictions using generative AI models.
Our experience-centred evaluation manifests that, by interacting with Metamorpheus, users can recall their dreams in vivid detail.

Visual Emotion Analysis (VEA) aims to predict people's emotions towards different visual stimuli.
Existing methods often predict visual emotion distribution in a unified network, neglecting the inherent subjectivity in its crowd voting process.
We propose a novel textitSubjectivity Appraise-and-Match Network (SAMNet) to investigate the subjectivity in visual emotion distribution.

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.

We propose a stimuli-aware visual emotion analysis (VEA) method consisting of three stages, namely stimuli selection, feature extraction and emotion prediction.
To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to introduce stimuli selection process into VEA in an end-to-end network.
Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on four public visual emotion datasets.

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.

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.

We consider emotions in poetry as they are elicited in the reader, rather than what is expressed in the text or intended by the author.
We conceptualize a set of aesthetic emotions that are predictive of aesthetic appreciation in the reader, and allow the annotation of multiple labels per line to capture mixed emotions within their context.
