The HUMAINE centre (School of Psychology, Queen’s University Belfast) welcomes EmotionML and will deploy it as a standard format in its work. That primarily involves use case 1, manual annotation of material involving emotionality, such as annotation of videos, of speech recordings, and of faces, in naturalistic databases. As psychologists, it is important to have a format that we can use, which allows us to use psychologically well-founded descriptors, and know that consumers in the engineering community will be able both to access, and to understand them. The system currently implements tracing for category and dimensional descriptors. We will extend that to appraisal and action tendency descriptors if research confirms that they can be traced reliably, but at present that is not clear.
