What do you think about an AI based solution that helps to communicate with autistic people ?
Problem with autistic people...is that you cant measure emotions through imagery xD
@OlLiE I frown when I am excited or happy, and smile when I feel angry or ludicrously erratic... My voice is aggressive when I am calm and quiet inside, and soft when I am ... not good.
Simply telling you that there are statistical outliers in terms of indicators...and using facial recognition for asperger's emotion identification is less reliable than asking EA to bring out a good strategy game, or taking aspirin when you have low blood pressure xD
Your premise of using visual identification is good, but with us autistic people it is near impossible, or at least for the upper 20% who dont exhibit similiarities (alexathymia)
I agree with you...but I mean that the computer cant read our facial expressions... I dont exhibit NT facial expressions for any of my emotions, I really look the opposite of how I feel, and the computer wont know that. Maybe I miscommunicated my premise ineffectively lol...but I know Alexathymic people can learn to read emotions, but a machine cant read or be programmed to read Alexathymic people's emotions...that is the coveat/cruxthrough observation i've learned to detect emotions, and i've taught myself the appropriate reactions and facial expressions, i can fake emotions in social contexts, but i have to stay in bed most of the day after, i only have a few people that i have studied enough to feel comfortable interacting with and making mistakes with, most of the people i know where surprised when i told them my diagnosis

actually, when i think about it, i guess an ai would use a similar algorithmic process as i've described,
at the end of the day an AI is basically a statistical model, i.e. find a representative sample, determine the statically relevant drivers, add scores that differentiate an 'intensity', create a formula with an overall score output, correlate the quantitative output to a qualitative conclusion, test against a random sample, hey ho presto![]()

You would do a brilliant job from the heuristics point of view... it could capture 99.998% ...but the problem is the remaining fraction are outliers that dont exhibit any statistical convention... trying to manual go through a sample of lets say ten thousand disparant asperger videos, and somehow trying to quantify it and capture it into an xml file or database, would make me #### my pants xD lol... I am a masochist, so I would enjoy it, but it is ludicrously infeasible... Like you say though, if we establish a smaller target audience (low func autism) we may be able to feasibly do it, since they dont have that many outliers...i agree it can't 'read them', but based on a large sample, if you could define facial variables and find a way to quantify their degrees of variance, i.e. 'quantify' facial indicators, then define a baseline neutral face, if you can then correlate the deviance data to an emotion then an ai could , with a certain statistical degree of accuracy, stick an emotional tag to the data it has received, after that you would have to statistically calibrate the model to an individual face, no?
i'm not an IT guy by the way, but was active in creating predictive credit risk models
Understanding NT's via some image processing is definitely feasible... That could easily be done, so you are on the money with that one man...you got the gold hens theresorry by the way, i was so interested by the topic, that i switched things around, i previously posted something in another thread, 'things to invent' where i suggested a tool to help us understand NT's, sorry, my bad
the other way round would be harder because of a lack of data regarding the one aspie you want to understand/model
apologies
