ABSTRACT
There have been clear needs to address the impact of driver emotions such as anger and happiness on aggressive or distracted driving behaviors. To tackle this issue, we have developed an affect detection system for identifying a driver's emotional arousal, including the driver's physiological data and vehicle's kinematic data. Multimodal sensors are wirelessly connected to a smartphone and then, all the driver and driving data are displayed on our Android application in real-time. With the benefits of this multimodal, portable, non-intrusive, and cost-efficient system, subsequent experiments were designed to test and improve the system. After identifying significant features, various machine learning algorithms will be used to model a driver's emotional states. Our final goal is to develop an optimized classifier of specific emotional states including arousal and valence. We hope that we can spark lively discussions on driver emotions at AutoUI and use the feedback to improve our system.

Automatic detection of learner's affect from conversational cues
We explored the reliability of detecting a learner's affect from conversational features extracted from interactions with AutoTutor, an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) that helps students learn by holding a conversation in natural language. Training ...
Broadening the Scope of Affect Detection Research
I propose to broaden the scope of affect detection research in three related directions. First, the task definition should be broadened from the detection of affects to the inference of mental states. Second, the detection process should be ...
Toward an Affect-Sensitive AutoTutor
Emotions (affective states) are inextricably bound to the learning process, as are cognition, motivation, discourse, action, and the environment. Augmenting an intelligent tutoring system with the ability to incorporate such states into its pedagogical ...
