卒業生 高君らの論文「Cyberoception: Finding A Painlessly-Measurable New Sense In The Cyberworld Towards Emotion-awareness In Computing」がACM CHI’25に採択されました。学部4年時の研究です。
Abstract:
In Affective computing, recognizing users’ emotions accurately is the basis of affective human-computer interaction. Understanding users’ interoception contributes to a better understanding of individually different emotional abilities, which is essential for achieving inter-individually accurate emotion estimation. However, existing interoception measurement methods, such as the heart rate discrimination task, have several limitations, including their dependence on a well-controlled laboratory environment and precision apparatus, making monitoring users’ interoception challenging. This study aims to determine other forms of data that can explain users’ interoceptive or similar states in their real-world lives and propose a novel hypothetical concept “cyberoception,” a new sense (1) which has properties similar to interoception in terms of the correlation with other emotion-related abilities, and (2) which can be measured only by the sensors embedded inside commodity smartphone devices in users’ daily lives. Results from a 10-day-long in-lab/in-the-wild hybrid experiment reveal a specific cyberoception type “Turn On” (users’ subjective sensory perception about the frequency of turning-on behavior on their smartphones), significantly related to participants’ emotional valence. We anticipate that cyberoception to serve as a fundamental building block for developing more “emotion-aware”, user-friendly applications and services.
本研究では、物理空間/サイバー空間両方にまたがる現代人の日常生活において、非認知能力と深い関係があるとされる「内受容感覚」と類似性のある新しい感覚「サイバー受容感覚」を発見しました。今回発見された感覚は、ユーザーが日常生活で携帯するスマートフォンに組み込まれたセンサだけで測定できる、人間の新しい感覚です。感覚のするどさと、自身の感情能力との間に有意な相関があることが世界ではじめて明らかになり、感情に寄り添うIT/AIシステムの発展に寄与すると期待されます。
