Abstract
We present THERADIA WoZ, an ecological corpus designed for audiovisual research on affect in healthcare. Two groups of senior individuals, consisting of 52 healthy participants and 9 individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), performed Computerised Cognitive Training (CCT) exercises while receiving support from a virtual assistant, tele-operated by a human in the role of a Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ). The audiovisual expressions produced by the participants were fully transcribed, and partially annotated based on dimensions derived from recent appraisal theory models, including novelty, intrinsic pleasantness, goal conduciveness, and coping. Additionally, the annotations included 23 affective labels from the literature of achievement affects. We present the data collection, transcription, and annotation protocols, alongside a detailed analysis of the annotated dimensions and labels. Baseline methods and results for their automatic prediction are also presented. Results reveal that the dimensions of appraisal theory can be predicted, with the performance varying across different modalities. The corpus aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers in affective computing, and is made available to both industry and academia.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing is an international and interdisciplinary journal. Its primary goal is to share research findings on the development of systems capable of recognizing, interpreting, and simulating human emotions and related affective phenomena. The journal publishes original research on the underlying principles and theories that explain how and why affective factors shape human-technology interactions. It also focuses on how techniques for sensing and simulating affect can enhance our understanding of human emotions and processes. Additionally, the journal explores the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems that prioritize the consideration of affect in their usability. We also welcome surveys of existing work that provide new perspectives on the historical and future directions of this field.
