Affective Computing
Affective Computing is a field of study that focuses on the development of systems and devices capable of recognizing, interpreting, and responding to human emotions. By utilizing techniques from psychology, computer science, and artificial intelligence, these systems aim to enhance human-computer interaction by making it more intuitive and emotionally aware.
Applications of Affective Computing can be found in various areas, including virtual assistants, customer service, and mental health. For instance, a chatbot equipped with affective computing capabilities can detect user emotions through text analysis, allowing it to provide more empathetic and relevant responses.
