商品描述

Affective Computing for Social Good: Enhancing Well-being, Empathy, and Equity offers an insightful journey into the intricate realm of affective computing. It covers a spectrum of topics ranging from foundational theories and technologies to ethical considerations and future possibilities.

Beginning with "Deciphering the Emotional Spectrum: Advances in Emotion Science and Analysis," it sets the stage by tracing the evolution of understanding human emotions. Subsequent chapters explore practical applications, such as integrating clinical psychology with affective computing for therapeutic progress and leveraging affective computing in diagnosing and managing mood disorders more efficiently.

As the narrative unfolds, the book emphasizes the crucial role of affective computing in fostering social justice and equity. It underscores the need for developing inclusive algorithms and databases while addressing ethical challenges like privacy, consent, and the risk of emotional manipulation. These discussions emphasize the significance of ethical deployment and regulation.

The book also covers the technical aspects and applications of affective computing, including natural language processing for emotion recognition and analysis, voice emotion detection, and visual emotion recognition. It extends to applications, such as the use of affective computing in health management via recommender systems and personalized well-being interventions in mental health care.

Addressing data challenges, "Enhancing Affective Computing with Data Augmentation: Strategies for Overcoming Limited Data Availability" presents solutions for imbalances affecting model performance. "Advancements in Multimodal Emotion Recognition" highlights the integration of facial expressions with physiological signals to improve emotion recognition accuracy and reliability.

Concluding with "Ethical Considerations in Affective Computing" and "Cognitive Currents: A Path from Neuroscience to Consciousness," the book connects technical advancements in affective computing with broader ethical and philosophical inquiries surrounding consciousness and the human experience.

Features:

  • Helps readers understand the potential benefits of emotionally intelligent AI systems, such as improving mental health care, enhancing education, or promoting more ethical decision-making.
  • Addresses ethical considerations related to the development and deployment of emotionally intelligent AI systems, helping readers to become more aware of the potential risks and trade-offs involved.
  • Presents new approaches or frameworks for developing emotionally intelligent AI systems, providing readers with innovative ideas and perspectives.
  • Provides examples of successful case studies where emotionally intelligent AI systems were used for social good, which may inspire readers to think about how they can contribute to society through AI development.

Overall, this book will help readers gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between AI and human emotions, and how this technology can be used to create a more empathetic, compassionate, and socially responsible world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《情感計算與社會公益：提升福祉、同理心與公平》提供了一段深入情感計算複雜領域的旅程。書中涵蓋了從基礎理論和技術到倫理考量及未來可能性的廣泛主題。

本書以「解碼情感光譜：情感科學與分析的進展」開篇，透過追溯人類情感理解的演變來奠定基礎。隨後的章節探討了實際應用，例如將臨床心理學與情感計算結合以促進治療進展，以及更有效地利用情感計算來診斷和管理情緒障礙。

隨著敘述的展開，書中強調了情感計算在促進社會正義和公平方面的關鍵角色。它強調了開發包容性算法和數據庫的必要性，同時解決隱私、同意和情感操控風險等倫理挑戰。這些討論突顯了倫理部署和監管的重要性。

本書還涵蓋了情感計算的技術面和應用，包括用於情感識別和分析的自然語言處理、語音情感檢測和視覺情感識別。它延伸至應用，例如通過推薦系統在健康管理中使用情感計算，以及在心理健康護理中提供個性化的福祉介入。

針對數據挑戰，「通過數據增強提升情感計算：克服有限數據可用性的策略」提出了影響模型性能的不平衡問題的解決方案。「多模態情感識別的進展」則強調了將面部表情與生理信號結合以提高情感識別的準確性和可靠性。

本書以「情感計算中的倫理考量」和「認知潮流：從神經科學到意識的道路」作結，將情感計算的技術進展與圍繞意識和人類經驗的更廣泛倫理和哲學探討相連結。

特色：
- 幫助讀者理解情感智能AI系統的潛在好處，例如改善心理健康護理、提升教育或促進更具倫理的決策。
- 解決與情感智能AI系統的開發和部署相關的倫理考量，幫助讀者更清楚潛在風險和權衡。
- 提出開發情感智能AI系統的新方法或框架，為讀者提供創新的想法和觀點。
- 提供成功案例的例子，展示情感智能AI系統如何用於社會公益，激勵讀者思考如何通過AI開發為社會做出貢獻。

總體而言，本書將幫助讀者更深入地理解AI與人類情感之間的交集，以及這項技術如何用來創造一個更具同理心、慈悲心和社會責任感的世界。
