If an artificial emotional intelligence ever exists, will it be able to understand the most nuanced forms of human expression, such as the poem? <br />

Description

Can an artificial emotional intelligence ever exist? How well will computers be able to appreciate and interpret human emotion?

“Discover, understand and revise language tones in text.” This is the selling point forIBM’s Tone Analyzer Beta built off of Watson.

Inspired by the recent release of the Watson Tone Analyzer, Leslie Ruckman and I decided to see what would happen if we tried to analyze the deeper human emotions conveyed through poetry with these newly minted tools. We decided to go with a familiar poet whose work was prolific enough to be counted as a data set, and popular enough to be fully digitized. We landed on Emily Dickinson.

We decided to start with her top 5 most popular poems assuming that they contained some magic that resonates with a largest number of people.

We then ran the text of these poems through Tone Analysis to discover emotional metrics such as: emotional summary, language style summary, and social summary.

Description

c o ( d e ) s i g n is a collection of work made in the Programming Design Systems class. The two and three dimensional works represent a variety of applications for building designs purely with code. Each project represents a unique algorithmic approach to computational systems which solve a variety of design problems.
