Computational Approaches to Emotion in Artificial Psychology
暫譯: 人工心理學中的情緒計算方法

《Computational Approaches to Emotion in Artificial Psychology》為讀者全面介紹 AI 系統如何處理情緒，提供資料前處理與情緒分析技術的理論與實務指引，探討多元的真實世界應用，並搭起 AI 與心理學之間的橋梁。

本書首先介紹新興的人工心理學（artificial psychology）領域，探討如何研究、理解與辨識各種身體訊號中的情緒，包括臉部表情、聲音、心率與神經機制。接著，本書深入說明具身情緒分析（embodied emotion analysis）的資料前處理，涵蓋文字、音訊、視覺與凝視資料等多種資料模態，並著重介紹情緒 AI 所需的 Python 基礎。此外，本書也討論以 EEG 為基礎的情緒解碼、從醫學影像中擷取情緒洞見、情感影像分析、基於文字的情緒辨識、多模態資料整合、運用非監督式學習探索具身情緒、強化學習、情緒誘發，以及使用機器學習預測人格與情緒能力。最後，本書從語言普遍結構的觀點檢視認知與情緒之間的密切關係，並說明如何運用深度模糊認知圖（deep fuzzy cognitive maps）診斷冠狀動脈疾病。

本書透過案例研究與實驗，促進此跨學科領域的研究與創新，彌補目前綜合性資源不足的問題，對於希望探索 AI 與情緒交會領域的研究人員、實務工作者、學生與專業人士而言，是不可或缺的參考資料。
