<i>IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing</i>–On Novelty and Valence

Abstract

I T is exciting times for the field of Affective Computing. Not only is Artificial Intelligence as a whole experiencing so far unseen interest, but in particular, today's hopes in Human-Computer Interaction and Social Robotics lie on Affective Computing as hardly ever before. Accordingly, one can see the market power and presence of increasingly more start-ups and even established enterprises gain momentum and weight on almost monthly basis-the race is on: Experiencing Affective Computing on the broad consumer market in everyday usage seems around the corner as never before.
