This document describes a proposed multi-modal application to provide psychological support through dialogue with a virtual interlocutor. The application would use artificial intelligence to analyze verbal and non-verbal cues from users to create individualized conversations. It would integrate tools like brainwave readers, facial recognition, and questionnaires to detect mood and provide coping strategies for stressful situations through a chatbot interface. The goal is to study how internal dialogue benefits well-being and develop new technologies to support self-discovery and quality of life.

- 4. Aim of the Project ❖ ❖ create a virtual reality application to sustain well-being and improve quality of life develop a solution for self-discovery and broadening techniques for coping with stressful situations ❖ build a multi-modal application based on storing and tracking over the time both verbal and non-verbal cues but also on the explicit declarations of the users through the questionnaires and the chat activity with a chatbot ❖ make a research tool for PhD study “Dialogue with an imaginary person and a coping with difficult situations” (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 5. Importance of the Project ❖ The concept of interactive mind assumes different states, based on a combination of internal and external dialogue. Internal dialogue can be as effective in generating possible solutions to the problem situation (Baltes and Staudinger, 1996) ❖ Inner dialogue is a tool of support (Puchalska - Wasyl, Chmielecka - Kuter, Oleś, 2008) ❖ Inner dialogue with an imaginary person is a supportive coping technique in a stressful situation (Pasikowska, 2013) Staudinger U. M., Baltes P. P. (1996). Interactive Minds: A Facilitative Setting for Wisdom-Related Performance. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 1996,Vol 71, No. 4, 746-762. Pasikowska, A (2013).

- 6. Importance of the Project ❖ ❖ What is the function of internal dialogue? Is the internal dialogue is particularly effective way to benefit from support in a stressful situation? ❖ ❖ Is a meeting with a person is needed? How to build a multi-modal application to support internal dialogues benefits? (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 7. The Application (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 8. The Idea ❖ born during Human Computer Confluence Summer School 2012 in Milan ❖ uses the internal dialogue as a form of support in daily challenges and problems of life ❖ is based on artificial intelligence software that learns our internal dialogue and delivers it to us in the form of a virtual conversation with the imaginary interlocutor !

Power of Mobile Devices Xpression Application allows users to record their mood through their speech acoustics Aurora App is fostering socially supportive behaviors by the sharing of affect on mobile devices. The INTERSTRESS project is a VR treatment of psychological stress.

- 25. Brainwave Reader Module ❖ ❖ ❖ NeuroSky device to capture Brainwave signals It is not really an easy task. This part of the work is prototype and we haven't finalized it yet. The output of the system will be sent to the Mood Detector engine. http://www.neurosky.com/products/mindwavemobile.aspx (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 26. Questionnaires Module ❖ effectiveness of the coping techniques controlled by achieved support. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ level of self-esteem anxiety emotional intelligence quality of life. (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 27. Facial Expression Recognition Module ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Standard face detection and facial analyzer engine Strong feedback for the system Reflect emotional mood of user. Angry, happy, sad, surprise also age and gender (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 28. Facial Expression Recognition Module ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Standard face detection and facial analyzer engine Strong feedback for the system Reflect emotional mood of user. Angry, happy, sad, surprise also age and gender (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 29. Voice Analysis Module ❖ Analyses the user’s voice to obtain an in-depth view of her/his range of emotions inferring the stress and anxiety level. ❖ Voice analysis in real-time is a challenging issue. In this work we prefer to use voice signals as a communication tools between users and system. ❖ We integrate speech recognition engine which recognizes some keyword that are trained by user before experiments.

- 31. Interface - chatbot For example: User says "Hello" <category> <pattern>HELLO</pattern> <template>Hi there!</template> = Chatbot answers "Hi there!" </category> ! (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 32. AIML ❖ The AIML pattern language is simple, consisting only of words, spaces, and the wildcard symbols _ and *. The words may consist of letters and numerals, but no other characters. The pattern language is case invariant. Words are separated by a single space, and the wildcard characters function like words. Chatbot asks "Do you like movies?" Another example: <category> <pattern>YES</pattern> <that>DO YOU LIKE MOVIES</that> <template>What is your favorite movie?</template> </category> = User says "Yes" “What is your favorite movie?” ! (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 33. Potential technology for Avatar ❖ Faceshift analyzes the face motions of an actor, and describes them as a mixture of basic expressions, plus head orientation and gaze. http://www.faceshift.com http://youtu.be/Bz4WSLUy0Wo (c) Pasikowska, Zaraki, Lazerri
- 34. Summary We will: ❖ Create an innovative e-service which aims to increase knowledge of the human phenomenon of internal dialogues ❖ ❖ ❖ Support people at risk of stress Develop a new technology for self-discovery and improve the quality of life Build an artificial intelligence in the form of virtual speaker for storing and tracking over the time both verbal (a voice analysis) and non-verbal (brainwave, facial emotion recognition) cues but also on the explicit declarations of the users through the questionnaires and the chat activity !
