BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Emotion analysis, a subfield of natural language processing (NLP) and AI, focuses on extracting and interpreting emotions from text, speech, and other forms of data. The foundation of this field can be traced back to early 20th-century psychology, particularly Basic Emotion Theory, proposed by William James and later expanded by Paul Ekman. This theory suggests the existence of universal emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, which are recognizable across different cultures.
During the 1990s, affective computing research advanced with the development of computational technologies and the availability of large datasets. Researchers began creating algorithms to automatically analyze and classify emotions in text data. Early methods relied on lexicons and linguistic features to categorize emotions into discrete groups. With the rise of deep learning, more sophisticated techniques emerged, including Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). These models enhanced contextual understanding and improved the accuracy of emotion classification.
Existing Methodology
Current methods use Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques, such as Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), Spectrograms, and Prosodic features, for speech emotion detection. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Transformers are widely used for classifying emotions. However, these models struggle with dialectal diversity, code-switching, and low-resource languages. The invention aims to bridge this gap by integrating dialect-specific AI models with real-time emotion detection.
The patent application number 201921052179 discloses a system and method to quantify subject-specific sentiment. A system using ai and nlp to analyze and quantify sentiment based on individual linguistic patterns, emotions, and contextual speech data.
The patent application number 201947052343 discloses a device, system and method for determining an emotional state of a user. A device, system, and method analyze speech, tone, and expressions using ai to determine a user's emotional state in real time.
The patent application number 202041001962 discloses a method and a system for controlling emotional state of a user. A system using ai and biofeedback to analyze emotions and adjust stimuli, improving user well-being through real-time emotional regulation.
