RE: Call for Implementations of EmotionML published

Dear all,
              We have uploaded a version of our trace program, Gtrace, which generates EmotionML outputs, to meet the revised deadline. The program and a manual can be downloaded from 

http://go.qub.ac.uk/GTrace

Below is a sample output, which I have to say looks more intelligible than our old format.

Thanks Abe
Yes please, submit to the list

>Could you please send your implementation report to the MMI public list (www-multimodal@w3.org) as the EmotionML Candidate Recommendation announcement [1] says?

[1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-multimodal/2012May/0010.html

And interesting point you raise about the "no space" requirement, I myself was not aware of this and there is an example ("being hurt") in the official WD by Marc and Catherine [2] that includes a space.
Also it says in the spec [3]:

name: a name for the item, used to refer to this item. An <item> MUST NOT have the same name as any other <item> within the same <vocabulary>.

So, I don't see a problem with spaces in names for the vocabulary.

Cheers,
Felix

Betreff: Re: Call for Implementations of EmotionML published

Hi Felix and all,
Here's an implementation report for the EMO20Q agent that you demoed.
I'm not sure if this is the right format for the report... Let me know if it need any
fixing. I also have a human readable version (pdf) as well as the xml
format given in http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/2012/emotionml-irp/ .
The only issue is that there were a few words in our vocabulary with
spaces (eg, "let down"). As a computer readable format, it is
possible to record this as "letDown", but if the no space requirement
is not strongly motivated, I think it might make sense to accept
spaces (e.g., "pissed off", "culture shock", or maybe "deja vu". It
seems like multiword emotions eventually get lexicalized, like
"homesick" or "carefree", but one could make the case for containing
space in order to make the format more general).
I wasn't sure if I should submit this report to the list mentioned on the specification site, www-multimodal@w3.org.  I haven't been following this list, so please let me know if should join and submit via the list or if the organizers here are collecting them off several threads, like this one.
I'll be on vacation and traveling for the next 3 weeks but I should be
able to get to email mostly within a day or so.
Thanks,
Abe

>> I'm sorry that I was delayed with the implementation report for my use of EmotionML. I just recently made a usable demo and if I could still submit a report, I would be very glad if I could help with the EmotionML effort. The demo is at http://ark.usc.edu/~abe/wsgi_questioner . It basically uses the EmotionML vocabulary idiom with a list of 110 emotion words for implementing emotion twenty questions (EMO20Q). After each question, the agent updates the probabilities/potentials associated with each word and hopefully the belief update will narrow down the candidate words (lower the entropy of the categorical distribution over the
