Hello Edmon, hello all,

I want to contribute too, if this is still feasible? I'll finish an EmotionML version of my affect simulation model (ALMA) by next week. What do you think?

Best regards,
Patrick

Hello,

I'm new to the group and would like to contribute to the multimodal group.

I'm not sure if you are worried about change history on google docs.  I
heard of writters/authors actually starting to use github for handling
version control in their books.  I haven't used it personally for document,
just with code.

I could spend sometime finding out if that is a possible solution for you,
if you are worried about change control history.

If we all, or at least, few of us agree to co-author paper, I could start

I am thinking of a journal paper for ACM Computer or similar media.

Does anyone have suggestion to how to collaborate online on a paper?

I use Google Docs but I am open to any suggestion or a collaboration tool
- specially if available through W3C.

Thanks Edmon
I'm not aware that the W3C somewhere collects technical reports for the
implementing systems of its standards, this question would probably go best
to Kazuyuki.
Didn't you start am initiative for a common paper on our EmotionML
implementations a while ago?
I think it's a good idea.
I'll have some other business to attend next week and then a week vacation
and will start to analyze the implementation reports from the second week
in October on.
Cheers,
Felix

Felix et al,

Implementation report for EMLPy library that generates EmotionML compliant
documents is included.

Is there an interest in having a technical report available for the site?

Thank you,
Edmon

Thanks Roddy,
That's good news.
Now the next step, as described in [1],
would be to deliver the report in form of an XML file with the format:

<system-report name="YOUR-SYSTEM-NAME-HERE">

<testimonial>YOUR-WELL-FORMED-TESTIMOMIAL-CONTENT-HERE</testimonial>
       <assert id="100"
res="pass|fail|not-impl">OPTIONAL-NOTES-HERE</assert>
</system-report>

What the assert-ids mean is described in [2], e.g.

EXAMPLE
<assert id="221" res="pass "> </assert>
means, in your implementation all dimension elements contain a "name"
attribute

Or, another example
<assert id="118" res="not-impl "> </assert> means, your implementation
ignores appraisal-sets (and elements)

I attach as sample my report, from the Speechalyzer, if that helps.
If done, this file should be submitted to

www-multimodal@w3.org<mailto:www-multimodal@w3.org>

Greetings,
Felix

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
Cite Kaz:

Could you please send your implementation report to the MMI public list (
www-multimodal@w3.org<mailto: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<mailto: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

Congratulations, I just played it and it only took 12 questions to

Thanks for playing the emo20q demo! I'm glad it guessed correctly, but
you're right, there are some non-sequitur responses. I'm still trying
to decide whether more data or an improved algorithm will be the best
way to fix these...


So when will you send the report? Are you clear on the format?

I hope to send it soon. I've reviewed the report requirements
(http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/2012/emotionml-irp/ ). It seems clear, so
no questions at the moment, but if there are any example reports
available that might help.


You're all aware we extended the deadline to mid September?

I wasn't aware of the extension, but that's great.


I'll be on the Eusipco conference in Bukarest next week in case anyone
is also there and we could meet.


Have a good trip. I just checked with Shri, unfortunately no one from
SAIL is going to be at Eusipco this year.

Take care,
Abe

Hi Felix,

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
vocabulary) so that the agent can guess the emotion word in less than
20 questions.

I would have submitted the report earlier, but it just wasn't ready.
Actually the EmotionML helped make the emo20q demo practically usable
because earlier I had been serializing a big object in between the http
requests, but now I only serialize an EmotionML vocabulary (with associated
weights) and a dialog turn history.


Thanks,
Abe

It would be great to get some feedback on who actually works on

Betreff: Call for Implementations of EmotionML published

Dear prospective implementors of EmotionML 1.0,

the W3C has published the Candidate Recommendation and the Call for
Implementations of EmotionML yesterday:

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9449

The specification as such has not changed much since the previous
version, just some clarifications here and there:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-emotionml-20120510/

The most relevant bit for you guys will be the Implementation Report
Plan, in which we have basically listed as verifiable assertions the
various properties that an implementation of different aspects of EmotionML
should guarantee:

http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/2012/emotionml-irp/

A key issue here might be to clarify whether you are implementing a
"producer" and/or a "consumer" of EmotionML. In the Introduction of the
Implementation Report Plan, e have tried to give clear descriptions what it
means for a producer and a consumer to "pass", "fail" or "not-impl" a given
assertion.



I'll be happy to work with you in the next few weeks to clarify what
needs to be done so that your implementation reports can help move
EmotionML forward. Simply get back to me with any questions you have.


I'd say if you think the question is of relevance to other prospective
implementors, it should be OK to "reply all" to this email.



I have just completed an implementation of an EmotionML checker in
java, which performs a full validation of input documents with respect to
all assertions in the IRP. Aspects of the specification that cannot be

verified through schema validation are verified through java code.

This means that if the tool accepts any given document (or document
fragment), I am reasonably confident it can be treated as valid EmotionML.

I have placed the code in the public domain:
