About Our Emotional Intelligence Research
Although people’s music choices fluctuate over time, a person’s empathy levels and thinking style predicts what kind of music they like. Voice is another key indicator of a person’s current emotional state and wellness.
We extract thousands of features such as pitch, energy and speaking rate from a large dataset of labelled emotional speech data to train our emotion predictive models. When you speak to Moodbox, our emotion predictive engine can predict your emotional state from what you say and how you say it.
We use this information and your music preferences to understand your emotion, and to learn what kind of music to play when you are experiencing a certain mood. We also have algorithms that analyze music audio signals as well as music lyrics to enable efficient retrieval of millions of songs by genres, style and artist. Our work on emotion recognition and empathy modules have been featured in the Scientific American and our virtual emotion reading robot – Zara the Super Girl – was showcased at the World Economic Forum.
Developers
In Mind
Moodbox was created with developers in mind. With our Open Source software, we make it easy for developers to help create and add the existing functionalities of Moodbox. Our SDK will allow developers to integrate their services on Moodbox.
Contextual information on a user’s mood that these SDKs provide can be connected with services like holiday, event, movie and book recommendations and much more. This level of customization based on a user’s mood is one of its kind and we encourage developers to get on board with us so that we can work together to provide amazing services for Moodbox users.
