There was a really old project from mit called conceptnet that I worked with many years ago. It was basically a graph of concepts (not exactly but close enough) and emotions came into it too just as part of the concepts. For example a cake concept is close to a birthday concept is close to a happy feeling.
What was funny though is that it was trained by MIT students so you had the concept of getting a good grade on a test as a happier concept than kissing a girl for the first time.
Another problem is emotions are cultural. For example, emotions tied to dogs are different in different cultures.
We wanted to create concept nets for individuals - that is basically your personality and knowledge combined but the amount of data required was just too much. You'd have to record all interactions for a person to feed the system.
- podgorniy 7mo agoMegacool project and your idea. Thanks for sharing.
- iroddis 7mo ago> the concept of getting a good grade on a test as a happier concept than kissing a girl for the first time. Were the concepts weighted by response counts? I’d imagine a good grade is a happy concept for everyone, but kissing a girl for the first time might only be good for about 50% of people.
- vinceguidry 7mo agoIt definitely wasn't for me. Happened in front of my whole friend group.
- ghostpepper 7mo agoI suppose by this logic, if someone was pressured by their parents to get good grades and struggled, it’s possible that “getting a good grade” would have a negative connotation / emotions response for them.
- vinceguidry 7mo agoOddest analogy i can imagine making here.
- nothinkjustai 7mo agoIdk…my personal experience says it’s probably closer to 100% :)
- xtiansimon 7mo agoWere there published results from the project?
