• Sommario/riassunto: "The Affective Computing domain, term coined by Rosalind Picard in 1997, gathers several scientific areas such as computer science, cognitive science, psychology, design and art. The humane-machine interaction systems are no longer solely fast and efficient. They aim to offer to users affective experiences: user's affective state is detected and considered within the interaction; the system displays affective state; it can reason about their implication to achieve a task or resolve a problem. In this book, we have chosen to cover various domains of research in emotion-oriented systems. Our aim is also to highlight the importance to base the computational model on theoretical foundations and on natural data"--

• Sommario/riassunto: Uses a strong computational and truly interdisciplinary treatment to introduce applied inverse theory. The author created the Mollification Method as a means of dealing with ill-posed problems. Although the presentation focuses on problems with origins in mechanical engineering, many of the ideas and techniques can be easily applied to a broad range of situations.
