Social Emotional Sensing Toolkit

This project builds on work that was developed by Dr. Rana el Kaliouby and [[Professor Peter Robinson|http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pr]] at the [[Computer Laboratory|http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/]] at the [[University of Cambridge|http://www.cam.ac.uk/]] between 2001 and 2004. El Kaliouby's [[dissertation|http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/TechReports/UCAM-CL-TR-636.html]] describes significant progress with regards to nonverbal perception and mental state inference. More specifically, that work presents an automated system for the inference of complex mental states from head and facial displays in a video stream in real time. Several publications by el Kaliouby and Robinson describe the notion of an [[Emotional Hearing Aid]]- an assistive tool for Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Picard and Rana el Kaliouby awarded, along with Matthew Goodwin at the [[Groden Center|http://www.grodencenter.org]], one of the NSF's very competitive collaborative research grants to continue their work on social-emotional technologies for autism spectrum disorders.

Social communication and emotion regulation difficulties, especially social-emotional ones, lie at the core of Autism Spectrum Disorders, making interpersonal interactions overwhelming, frustrating and stressful. Often, these difficulties portray that persons on the autism spectrum are "choosing" to be disengaged from social interactions due to a lack of interest or desire, even when that is not the case. To the contrary, many persons on the autism spectrum who are now able to communicate, write about their persistent attempts to seek interaction with others using unconventional nonverbal cues that were either misinterpreted or simply unnoticed by family members and others. Communication difficulties combined with atypical visual and auditory perception in ASD makes traditional learning challenging, and suggests that independent, spontaneous and sensory-based learning comes more naturally to persons with ASD. \n\nThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory (ML) in collaboration with the Groden Center is developing novel wearable, in situ social-emotional technology that helps individuals with ASD acquire an affinity for the social domain and improve their overall social communication abilities. We are also developing technologies that build on the nonverbal communication that individuals on the autism spectrum are already using to express themselves socially and emotionally, to help families, educators and other persons who deal with autism spectrum disorders to better understand these alternative means of nonverbal communication. Our work leverages the advances in affect sensing and perception to (1) develop technologies that are sensitive to people's affective-cognitive states; (2) advance autism research and (3) create new technologies that enhance the social-emotional intelligence of people diagnosed with autism, as well as those who are not. Several other projects are also underway, including autism and emotion regulation, sensor and toy technologies for monitoring children. Read more in [[Research]] | [[Background]] | [[NSF Proposal]].

In psychology, theory of mind or mind-reading describes our ability to attribute mental states to others from their behavior and to use that knowledge to guide our actions and predict those of others. Mind-reading is fundamental to our social functions, decision-making, perception and memory.

To help people improve their reading of faces during natural conversations, we developed a video tool to evaluate this skill. First, we collected over 100 videos of conversations between pairs of both autistic and neurotypical people, each of whom wore a Self-Cam. Next, the videos were manually segmented into chunks of 7-20 seconds according to expressive content, labeled, and sorted by difficulty--all tasks we plan to automate using technologies under development. Next, we built a rating interface including videos of self, peers, familiar adults, strangers, and unknown actors, allowing for performance comparisons across conditions of familiarity and expression. We obtained reliable identification (by coders) of categories of smiling, happy, interested, thinking, and unsure in the segmented videos. The tool was finally used to assess recognition of these five categories for eight neurotypical and five autistic people. Results show some autistics approaching the abilities of the neurotypicals while several score just above random.

Several projects are underway: \n* [[Social-emotional Interventions for Autism|WearCam]] \n* [[Self Cam|http://affect.media.mit.edu/projects.php?id=2001]] \n* [[Evaluation Tool for Recognition of Social and Emotional Expressions from Facial and Head Movements|EvalTool]] \n* [[Autism and Emotion regulation|EmotionRegulation]] \n* [[Sensors and toy technologies for child monitoring|TechToy]] (with Laura Schultz at MIT BCS)

We have developed the first wearable camera system capable of perceiving and visualizing social-emotional information in real-time human interaction. Using a small wearable camera and video-pattern analysis algorithms, the system analyzes video of the wearer or interaction partner and tags it at multiple granularities (facial actions, communicative facial/head gestures, and emotions) and gives real-time and offline feedback via visual, sound and tactile feedback. The research builds on [[Rana el Kaliouby|http://web.media.mit.edu/~kaliouby/]]'s doctoral research at the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge UK. \n\n The wearable system aims to: (1) facilitate learning and systemizing of social-emotional cues; (2) promote self-reflection and perspective-taking; (3) allow wearers to study subtle nonverbal cues and share experiences with peers, family members, and caregivers; and (4) contribute new computational models and theories of social-emotional intelligence in machines. The project addresses open [[Research Challenges]] pertaining to (1) developing novel sensors and algorithms that measure and communicate a range of naturally-evoked, affective-cognitive states; (2) exploring whether machines can augment social interactions in a way that improves human to human communication. \n\nOur research explores the use of novel wearable technologies in promoting social-emotional intelligence skills and communication of people, enabling people to systematically monitor their interactions, gain better insight into how they interact with others, and find ways to improve how they communicate with others. This includes addressing problems such as: \n* [[Self Cam|http://affect.media.mit.edu/projects.php?id=2001]] \n* Real time mental state inference \n* Elicitation and tagging of naturally-evoked facial affect \n\nA pilot study of the first prototype is currently underway at the Groden Center, Providence RI to compare the efficacy of the wearable system to current gold standard interventions for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The results of this pilot will inform next iterations of the technology, and a clinical study will be conducted at the Groden Center. The proposed human-centered, participatory approach to the co-design and use of technology draws on the experiences of individuals with ASD and their solutions to systematizing social interactions, thereby empowering them to enhance their relationships, while participating in the development of next-generation social-emotional intelligent technologies.

Many infant and child development studies involve observing how young children play with toys. Data is collected by taping the children playing with the toys, and then later researchers review the tapes and manually enter data based on visual observations. Researchers are able to observe a wide variety of play styles over a range of ages, which is crucial to learning about the development of young minds. In collaboration with the Early childhood Cognition Lab at MIT's Brain and Cognitive Sciences, this project will develop a toy equipped with motion detecting sensors such as accelerometers that will wirelessly transmit movement data to an external computer and automatically tagging the child's play with a description of how the toy is being manipulated. Our long-term aim is to use the toy for early detection to explore play behaviors in infants and young children at risk of developmental disorders such as autism.

\n\nTutorial on Autism Wearables at the International Symposium of Wearable Computing (ISWC 2007). \n\nTutorial on Autism and Affective-Social Computing at the International Conference of Affective Computing and Intelligent Interactioin (ACII 2007). \n\nA new MIT Media Lab course [[MAS.962: Autism Theory and Technology|http://courses.media.mit.edu/2007spring/mas962/]] was offered during Spring 2007. \n\nThe course lays a foundation in autism theory and autism technology that significantly leverages and expands MIT Media Lab's ability to pioneer new technology. Students not only develop new technologies, but also understand, help, and learn from people with autism, a fast-growing group that the CDC identified in the year 2005 as involving an estimated 1 in 150 school age children ages 6-21. Students will gain an understanding of the basic challenges faced by people with autism, together with their families and caregivers, and with an understanding of the fundamental theories that inform therapies and technologies for improving the autistic experience. The course will also explore the converging challenges and goals of autism research and the development of technologies with people sense. We will advance ways technology can be used for early detection and intervention in autism. We will enable new technologies for measuring behavior in people with autism, to enable better theory development through more systematic collection of behavior.

People who have difficulty communicating verbally (such as many people with autism) sometimes send nonverbal messages that do not match what is happening inside them. For example, a child might look calm and receptive to learning, while having a heart rate of over 120 bpm and being on the verge of a meltdown or shutdown. This mismatch can lead to serious problems, including misunderstandings such as "he became aggressive for no reason." We are creating new technologies to address this fundamental communication problem and enable the first long-term, ultra-dense longitudinal data analysis of emotion-related physiological signals. We hope to (1) equip individuals with personalized tools to understand the regulatory influences of emotion on their own state (e.g., "what state helps me best maintain my attention and focus for learning?"); and (2) enable scientists to accurately measure and understand the role of emotion regulation in autism.

\nUROP Opportunity \nASAP (extendable to spring and summer 07) \nMedia Laboratory \n\nFaculty Supervisor: Rosalind W. Picard \n\n A lot of our work at the affective computing group involves "reading" the face - tracking facial movements and inferring a range of affective and cognitive states (such as interest and confusion). Real time face detectors do exist, but they require a frontal view of the face and good lighting conditions. This project aims to 1) survey the latest in face detectors and 2) develop an open-source, robust face detector. One proposed approach is to extend Intel's OpenCV face detection to deal with head rotation, but there are other possibilities. \n\nWe are seeking energetic, self-motivated and qualified UROPs. Programming skills (ideally C/C++) are a must. Experience with machine vision, face or image processing is a plus. \n\nFor more information contact Rana el Kaliouby (kaliouby AT media DOT mit DOT edu).

\n\n The development of robust socio-emotional intelligence in machines involves addressing essentially the same challenges that practitioners face when teaching people with autism about social and emotion understanding. These challenges include devising a “code-book” that maps a range of nonverbal cues to corresponding mental states and defining “rules of conduct” for various social contexts. Both challenges are accentuated by the uncertainties and subtleties that are inherent in the process of nonverbal communication, which makes it hard to generalize to new situations and contexts. The problem is made more complex by being required to execute in real-time in varying interaction settings, poses and lighting conditions.
