PhD Kiavash Bahrainis developed and tested software that detects emotions on the face and the voice of students accurately and directly used for giving feedback. He says the operation of software for emotion recognition have greatly improved. The title of his thesis is “Real-Time Multi-Modal Emotion Recognition in e-learning ‘. Bahrainis receive his PhD on Friday, November 13th, 2015 at the Open University.
According to the originally Iranian candidate has existing software for recognizing emotions quite a few flaws. “Reliability is limited, the software has problems with mustaches, beards, glasses, and drop shadows and the variety of emotions that can be detected is small.” He states that in some cases, the evaluation consists only of positive or negative.
Often, expensive equipment is required to detect emotions and the results are not always readily available as additional calculations are needed, “says Bahrainis. He says to take a large part of these problems road by combining a number of existing methods and expand. Its software, according to the university is much more accurate and real-time. The software recognizes a wide spectrum of basic emotions (happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, anger, and neutral) on the face and in the voice of a student and, according to the automaker barely disruptions burden. A standard webcam and microphone would be sufficient.
Feedback
Bahrainis tested the software for a digital game-based training communication skills with students just had to show their emotions in check hold. He concludes that the software he has developed emotions and accurately detects that the computer feedback that follows leads to better learning outcomes. The feedback received was accepted by the participants without any problems and appreciated.
Kiavash Bahrainis defends his thesis “Real-Time Multi-Modal Emotion Recognition in E-Learning” on Friday, November 13th, 2015 at 16.00 hrs at the Open University Heerlen. His supervisor is prof. Dr. Wim Westera, Dr. Rob Nadolski is co-promoter (both from the Open University).
