Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: inputs of emotion time series data of a user and environmental factor data from one or more data collection device for a user assistance service. A baseline emotion time series is generated and an environmental factor that is likely to have affected changes in state of emotion on a subject is identified by regression analysis. An emotion time series model for the identified environmental factor is produced and prediction of a path to attain a target state of emotion at a certain time in the future is made. Recommendation to achieve the target state of emotion is produced based on the predicted path.
Claims13
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processor and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
- obtaining inputs of emotion time series data of a user and environmental factor data from one or more data collection device for a user assistance service;
- generating a baseline emotion time series based on the inputs from the obtaining;
- ascertaining one or more environmental factor affecting states of emotion as represented in the emotion time series by regression analysis;
- building an emotion time series model for one of the one or more environmental factor from the ascertaining;
- predicting one or more path to a target state of emotion at a target time in the future on the emotion time series model;
- and
- producing a recommendation specifying one or more activity to perform for the user in order to attain the target state of emotion at the target time.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- one or more processor in communication with the memory;
- and
- program instructions executable by the one or more processor via the memory to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining inputs of emotion time series data of a user and environmental factor data from one or more data collection device for a user assistance service;
- generating a baseline emotion time series based on the inputs from the obtaining;
- ascertaining one or more environmental factor affecting states of emotion as represented in the emotion time series by regression analysis;
- building an emotion time series model for one of the one or more environmental factor from the ascertaining;
- predicting one or more path to a target state of emotion at a target time in the future on the emotion time series model;
- and
- producing a recommendation specifying one or more activity to perform for the user in order to attain the target state of emotion at the target time.
