Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop Emotion and Computing –

current research and future impact Workshop The workshop focuses on the role of affect and emotion in computer systems including the three dimensions: emotion recognition, emotion generation and emotion modeling with special attention to AI specific problems and applications. Both shallow and deep models of emotion are in the focus of interest. In recent years several approaches have been made concerning emotion recognition, emotion modeling, generation of emotional user interfaces and dialogue systems as well as intelligent and anthropomorphic communication agents. There is a wide variety of motivations for emotional computing. From a scientific point of view, emotions play an essential role in decision making, as well as in perception and learning. Furthermore, emotions influence rational thinking and therefore should be part of rational agents as proposed by artificial intelligence research. Another focus is on human computer interfaces which include believable animations of interface agents. One of the first interesting applications is a dialogue system which intends to generate natura
