The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Affective Computing Task Force was recently established to promote this emerging and exciting research direction. We are organizing a Special Issue on “Computational Intelligence and Affective Computing” in the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine (CIM) to present the state-of-the-art research focusing on applying CI algorithms to affective computing problems, and applying affective computing concepts to developing novel CI algorithms.

IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine (CIM): Special Issue on Computational Intelligence and Affective Computing

Affective computing is “computing that relates to, arises from, or deliberately influences emotions,” as initially coined by Professor R. Picard (Media Lab, MIT). It has been gaining popularity rapidly in the last decade because it has great potential in the next generation of human-computer interfaces. One goal of affective computing is to design a computer system that responds in a rational and strategic fashion to real-time changes in user affect (e.g., happiness, sadness), cognition (e.g., frustration, boredom) and motivation, as represented by for example speech, facial expressions, physiological signals, and neurocognitive performance.

Affective computing raises many new challenges for signal processing, modeling, and information aggregation. Especially, the body signals used for affect recognition are very noisy and subject-dependent. Computational intelligence (CI) methods, including fuzzy sets and systems, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms, may be used to build intuitive and robust emotion recognition algorithms. Further, emotions, which are intrinsic to human beings, may also inspire some new CI algorithms, just like human brains inspired neural networks and survival of the fittest in nature inspired evolutionary computation.

The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Affective Computing Task Force was recently established to promote this emerging and exciting research direction. We are organizing a Special Issue on “Computational Intelligence and Affective Computing” in the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine (CIM) to present the state-of-the-art research focusing on applying CI algorithms to affective computing problems, and applying affective computing concepts to developing novel CI algorithms. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Emotion-inspired CI algorithms.
* Computational models and architecture for processing emotions and other affective states.
* Automatic emotion recognition and synthesis from physiological signals, facial expressions, body language, speech, or neurocognitive performance.
* Emotion mining from texts, images, or other media.
* Affective interaction with digital systems, virtual agents and robots.
* Applications of affective computing in personalized learning, affective gaming, affective robotics, virtual reality, social networking, smart environments, healthcare and behavioral informatics, etc.

Note that all submissions to this special issue must be within the scope of CI.
