ABOUT THE COURSE: Affective Computing focuses on enabling the machines with emotion recognition and adaptive interaction. It lies in the intersection of Computer Science, design and human psychology. This course will overview the emotion theory, computational modelling of emotions, analysis of emotions using different modalities (such as voice, facial expressions, physiological signals etc) and related machine learning and/or signal processing techniques. We will also discuss ethical, legal and social implications of affective computing particularly in relation to Human-Machine Interaction.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Senior UG and PG Students PREREQUISITES: Mandatory Prerequisites: 1.Programming 2.Artificial Intelligence 3.Machine LearningDesirable Prerequisites: 4.Human-Computer Interaction 5.Deep LearningINDUSTRY SUPPORT: In general, any company industry working with AI/ML will recognize this course.
