Abstract

To provide a method and device for emotion classification which allow for classifying words representing emotions such as joy and sadness by principles of emotion occurrence and distinguishing the words on the basis of their meanings when performing analysis and experiment of emotions.SOLUTION: A circular classification process classifies emotions into four categories of (1) ethical/aesthetic emotions about "how things should be" based on requests for absoluteness/universality, (2) reactions on linguistic operations such as laughs and cries due to linguistic sensitivities with personalities, (3) reactions due to control/acquisition of physical objects on linguistic recognition or in reality and aspiration for its deviation, and (4) sensings of biological conditions/reactions as pure physical conditions/reactions on bodies.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for emotion classification.

Many businesses and engineers are developing devices or methods for classifying emotions.

"Method for Estimating Recognition and Emotion" (Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-181544, PCT/JP2022/007429) "Method and Apparatus for Design Evaluation" (Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-131641)

When analyzing and experimenting with emotions, it is desirable to classify the words that express emotions such as "joy" and "sadness" according to the principle of generation and distinguish them based on their meanings.

The approach of the present invention is based on Document 1 "Recognition and Emotion Estimation Method" (Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-181544, PCT/JP2022/007429) and Document 2 "Design Evaluation Method and Apparatus" (Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-131641). based on

However, since Patent Documents 1 and 2 mainly deal with recognition and emotion in verbal activity accompanied by personality, in the present invention, "joy" and "sadness" as pleasure and discomfort in the body reaction / state of living things Add a reference to

In the prior art, words indicating emotions such as "joy" and "sadness" are used in various senses in various senses, although their generation principles are different and therefore their meanings are also different.

For example, while the words "joy" and "sadness" are applied to whether or not the purpose is achieved in terms of ethics and aesthetic sense, while the words "joy" and "sadness" are applied in terms of linguistic operations, there are problems in phonation due to conflicts and cancellations of semantic objects to be uttered. "Laughter" is used as an icon of "joy", and on the other hand, the word "joy" is also applied to the satisfaction of control impulses and acquisition impulses, and their quantitative superiority. The words ``joy'' and ``sorrow'' are also applied to the perception of

Therefore, when using words that indicate emotions such as ``joy'' and ``sadness'' in conducting analyzes and experiments related to emotions, it is necessary to consider the meaning of ``joy'' and ``sadness'' based on the principle of generation of the words. must be classified.

The reason for the ambiguity in emotion classification is presumed to be the attempt to define emotions by subject.

For example, subjects for which the emotional word "joy" is used include:
(1) some purpose freely chosen and demanded by an individual personality ("what things should be"), and the state of things that conforms to that demanded purpose
(2) Interruption of utterance while uttering due to multiple objects intended to be uttered/recollected, etc., when ``what is (how) things are'' is set and operated by language recognition with personality Situation that causes "laughter" as
(As a supplement, ``laughter'' is actually an utterance failure, and ``crying'' is a response to utterance/recollection failure when the utterance/recollection target cannot be recognized. occurs regardless of whether the semantic content of the utterance/recollection is happy or sad, so it is questionable whether ``laughter'' and ``cry'' can be classified as emotions.)
(3) A situation in which one feels superiority in the control/dominance/acquisition of physical objects, and the difference in the quantity of things such as the amount and order of acquisition of them For the sake of convenience, the explanation is summarized by the common point of ``the desire for a physical object'', but if you strictly ask the ``genesis principle'', like the reactions of the living body, for example, ``the physical object'' A detailed distinction should be made on the basis of the difference between "pleasure of acquisition" and "pleasure of abundance".)
(Furthermore, as a side note, although responses to physical objects are common between humans and non-humans, verbal activity with personality is not common between humans and non-humans. Recognition of physical objects when recognized using names (symbols) in linguistic activities involving personality is not common between humans and non-human creatures.)
(4) Sensing of bodily states/responses of organisms

In addition, the targets of (1) to (4) above are diverse.

In other words, the demand for "how things should be", which is the cause of the ethical/aesthetic feelings in (1) above, is the state of the country, the view of life, artistic expression such as music and painting, the way of work, All matters, such as the shape of things, are covered. Moreover, it is up to individual personal freedom to construct and approve the content of "what things should be".

In addition, since the perception of ``what is (how) things are'', which is the premise of language usage in (2) above, is freely constructed according to the personality of each individual, so as Saussure points out, symbols The target of the symbol can also differ from person to person. In fact, the language itself and how individuals perceive things are diverse.

In addition, the above (3) physical control/acquisition and the recognition of the superiority/disadvantage of the difference in quantity are also subject to all matters that question physical properties. In other words, in language recognition with personality, all names (symbols) treated as objects, all concepts linked to names (symbols), and the amount of acquisition of all objects in language recognition, such as test results and product specifications. , ranks, etc., and real physical objects include the strength of power, the order of power relationships, some kind of control/acquisition object, and so on.

Needless to say, objects to be sensed for the state/reaction of the living body in (4) above are diverse. There are various things such as heartbeat.

Therefore, it is not possible to define emotions according to the objects of (1) to (4).

In other words, even if we take the word ``joy'', it is impossible to define it unless we distinguish the meaning of ``joy'' according to the principle of generation. There are a wide variety of subjects for which the word "joy" is used, and there is no word that can lump all of them together.

The impossibility of object-based definition because objects with different generation principles of emotion cannot be grouped together also applies to terms that indicate emotions such as ``sadness'', ``anger'', and ``fear''.

Emotional words cannot be subject-based defined, so analysis and experimentation of emotions becomes difficult if the semantics of emotional words are not based on developmental principles.

In the present invention, a method and apparatus for emotion classification are provided.

As a solution to the above problem, by defining emotion-indicating words by the originating principle rather than the object, the emotion-indicating words can be classified according to their essentially different meanings.

That is, in the emotion classification of the present invention, words indicating emotions are classified based on the following generation principles (1) to (4). (1) ethical/aesthetic judgments as to whether things fit for some purpose ("what (what) things should be") freely chosen and demanded by individual personalities; There is a physical reaction in linguistic operation by giving a name to an object and handling the name on the body (actually, it is a physical reaction associated with utterance/recall that is not related to semantic content, so it can be classified as an emotion) (3) control/dominance/acquisition of some physical object in terms of verbal recognition or reality, and reaction to the difference in its quantity (4) perception of the state/response of the living body

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an emotion classification method or apparatus that enables analysis and experimentation of emotions based on the meaning of emotions classified based on the generation principle.

That is, first, according to the present invention, (1) ethical/aesthetic feelings, (2) linguistic reactions, (3) control/acquisition of physical objects and reactions in aspiration for their quantitative differences, (4) biological Confusion of sensing to state/response can be avoided.

Here we describe the distinction between (1) ethical/aesthetic sentiments and (2) operational linguistic responses.

(1) Ethical/aesthetic feelings are based on some "purpose" of some thing, which is freely set and demanded by individual persons. "Purpose" is, in other words, "what (how) things should be," and aspects of "what (how) things should be." Lawfulness, eternity, the standard of good and evil, the standard of life and death, the standard of existence and the standard of beauty.

On the other hand, the linguistic reaction is based on the recognition of ``what (how) things are'' itself, which is set and required by the personality, and there is the absoluteness/universality of ``it should be like this''. No request.

Laughter and weeping are linguistic reactions to things that are both ethically/aesthetically good and bad, and are based on some perception of ``what the thing is'' itself. caused by compounding, interruption, or impossibility of utterance/recollection to They relate to utterance/recall processing in each of the stages of recognizing an object as something and what name (symbol) is used for that recognition.

It is natural that topics related to ethical/aesthetic judgments are treated linguistically. It may be a matter to be done. In this case, simply being included in the topic can be said to be a linguistic reaction that appears on the body, regardless of the recognition of the premise, from the reaction itself of laughter and tears.

On the other hand, there is room for examination as to whether the judgment itself that questions the uniqueness of the meaning of a single cognition is always derived from ethical/aesthetic sensibilities. In any case, in this case as well, reactions such as laughter and crying are bodily reactions resulting from the use of language.

Therefore, (1) ethical/aesthetic sentiments are distinguished from (2) linguistic reactions.

Analysis of emotions by distinguishing between (1) ethical/aesthetic emotions and (2) linguistic reactions, distinguishing joy and sadness based on some purpose from utterance/recall reactions such as linguistic laughter and crying can do

Next, I will explain the distinction between (1) ethical/aesthetic feelings and (3) control/acquisition of physical objects and their desire for quantitative differences.

Desire for a certain physical object (object to be possessed/dominated, prey to be acquired, physical territory, excitement/intimidation expression, physical power, etc.), or based on the recognition of the quantity standard of a certain physical object, the size of some quantity There is a situation of competing.

A physical object here includes an object that exists only in language recognition by a person. In other words, in terms of linguistic activities, all events with names (symbols) are treated as ``countable things'' by the operation of objects that have physical aspects of names (symbols).

Physical objects that exist only in language recognition by personalities include, for example, certain points in games and the like, ranks of ranks, and the like.

Recognition of objects that exist only in verbal recognition by personalities is not common to creatures without personalities, while recognition of physical objects that actually exist is common between humans and other living things.

Whether for linguistic objects or real physical events, the response in controlling/acquisition of physical objects and the desire to differ in their quantity is simply "controlling/dominating/possessing objects". / Is it possible to acquire, whether the amount of the object is large or small”, it is different from the recognition of the ethical object, that is, the achievement of the purpose.

However, since the purpose determined by ethical/aesthetic sensibility can be freely determined, for example, ``overwhelming the difference in the amount of possession/control/acquisition'' is determined as the purpose, and absoluteness/universality is required there. Emotions based on ethical/aesthetic sensibilities may appear when goals are achieved or not achieved. However, it is an emotion whose generation principle is based on ethical/aesthetic sensibility, and since emotions based on the desire to control/acquire a physical object and the difference in quantity can be expressed separately, the two can be distinguished. be.

In addition, the consciousness and instincts based on the functions of living organisms are completely independent from the linguistic recognition constructed by the personality, and the ethical recognition "what (how) things should be" is absolute/universal. It assumes language recognition ``what (how) things are'' as a requirement of

Furthermore, the nature of the functions and the nature of instincts of living things conflict with ethics. Observed impulses in consciousness and instincts based on the functions of living organisms include the impulse to take away from others, the impulse to control/exclude others, and the desire for physical differences. They face each other with law and demand order.

In non-human organisms, consciousness based on biological functions and ethics contrary to impulses in instincts are not observed. In other words, it is not possible to be ashamed of an animal's body and deny it along with its instincts with clothes and laws, to construct an ``ideal form of the self'' in a newly demanded order, or to question the good or bad of its existence itself. not observed.

When human beings exercise ethics, the purpose determined by ethics ("what things should be") is freely selected, so it is difficult to understand the unethical content of "based on the functions and instincts of living organisms." Although 'fulfilling an impulse' can also be an end, the ethical intention to 'fulfill an end' and the urges in consciousness and instincts based on biological functions are essentially different.

For this reason, for example, the pleasure of "something that ought to be exactly what it is" for individuals, due to the attainment of a purpose, and the ability of living things to take away from others, to dominate and possess Pleasure in the sense of gratification of impulses based on consciousness or instinct is entirely different from the principle of generation.

By distinguishing between (1) ethical/aesthetic feelings and (3) control/acquisition of physical objects and reactions in the desire for their quantity difference, some purpose, or the absoluteness of ``what (or how) things should be'' / Emotions such as ``joy'' and ``sadness'' based on the demand for universality, and whether or not a certain physical object can be controlled/dominated/owned/acquired, and whether the amount is large or small, that is, superiority Emotions can be analyzed by distinguishing between emotions such as ``joy'' and ``sadness'' based on the recognition of whether they are low or low.

Next, the distinction between (1) ethical/aesthetic feelings and (4) perception of biological states/reactions will be explained.

Of course, there are emotions such as joy in the establishment of absoluteness/universality required in ethical/aesthetic sensibilities, and comfort such as whether the body is at an appropriate temperature, whether it is awake or drowsy, and whether muscle strain is light. / Discomfort is also quite different from the principle of generation.

Ethical/aesthetic perception and perception of biological state/response are also distinguished because ethical/aesthetic perception presupposes language recognition with personality, and biological function is independent of language recognition with personality. be.

By distinguishing between (1) ethical/aesthetic feelings and (4) perceptions of biological states/reactions, ``feelings'' based on demands for absoluteness/universality of ``what (how) things should be'' and Emotions can be analyzed by distinguishing between pleasure and displeasure in the living body.

Next, I will explain the distinction between (2) linguistic responses and (3) responses in the control/acquisition of physical objects and their desire for quantitative differences.

The beginning of language recognition with personality is the setting of ``what (how) things are'', and ``what (how) things are'' is established as long as it is recognized as one thing without contradiction. The setting of ``what (how) things are'' covers all kinds of things. Here, ``anything that is consistently recognized'' includes objects such as ``contradictory things'' and ``confused things'' based on whether or not they are recognized as one thing.

Here, a freely formed name (symbol) is given to each freely formed recognition unit, and is expressed on the body by borrowing a vocal organ, by using gestures of hands and feet, or by using the body. Although it is expressed by characters outside of

When trying to utter/recall on the body, there are cases where multiple things are selected as things to be uttered/remembered on language recognition, and they are both affirmed and denied at the same time. In addition, before the selection of the utterance/recall target, there are cases where the recognition itself of "what it is" about a certain thing is destroyed by a new recognition, and the recognition itself in the first place is impossible. be.

When we try to deal with such matters in terms of language recognition, errors such as stopping at the same time as utterance/recollection and attempts to utter/recall things that cannot be uttered/recollected occur.

On the other hand, the control/acquisition of a physical object and the reaction in the desire for its quantity difference naturally have different generation principles from such utterance/recollection.

In the terrestrial creatures other than humans, the concept of "ownership" is not overlooked and the ownership structure is freely constructed with names (symbols). I do.

In addition, in terrestrial creatures other than humans, judgments are made based on physical shapes, orders, and hierarchies. ) can be used to count and construct the concept of time, whereas in the recognition of the order of terrestrial creatures other than humans, it is recognized whether one object in front of one comes next to another. However, it does not mean that each phenomenon itself is regarded as an object of name (symbol), and that the occurrence cycle of each phenomenon is overlooked and compared and collated.

For this reason, in terrestrial creatures other than humans, even though it is possible to judge the contextual relationship of actual physical objects and obtain the difference between them, it is possible to attach names (symbols) to the occurrence of events themselves and use them in linguistic recognition. It does not assume or calculate the occurrence cycle. In other words, there is no recognition of recognition itself.

Similarly, in linguistic recognition with personality, each event itself is regarded as an object of name (symbol) and the order of each event is questioned. Recognize the order based on the physical force relationship of the objects.

Here, the reaction in the control/acquisition of a physical object and the desire for its quantity difference is excitement, depression, intimidation, fear, etc. Observed. The difference is whether or not the phenomenon itself is overlooked by language recognition accompanied by personality.

In other words, even if there is no language recognition by the personality, the control/acquisition of the physical object and the response in the desire to the difference in its amount are occurring, so the linguistic reaction, the control/acquisition of the physical object and its amount The reaction in the desire for difference differs in the principle of generation.

By distinguishing between (2) linguistic reaction and (3) control/acquisition of physical objects and their desire for the difference in their quantity, matching names (symbols) and recognition objects in language, and recognition itself. Emotions can be analyzed by distinguishing the physical reaction associated with recognition configuration and the reaction associated with recognition of whether or not a physical object can be controlled/acquired, and whether it is superior or disadvantageous.

Next, we discuss the distinction between (2) linguistic response and (4) perception of biological states/responses.

Living things other than humans do not have the recognition of ``what things are'', and for that reason, as proof of language recognition, free recognition construction and self-existence itself as a living thing No free escape is observed.

As an example of an operational linguistic response, in laughter, simultaneous interruptions of speech/recall occur with speech/recall. In other words, laughter is whether the recognition itself of ``what (how) that thing is'' about one thing that is the target of utterance/recollection is recognized multiple times, or whether recognition is denied at the same time when it is recognized. caused by overlapping utterances/recollections or forced termination of utterances/recollections at the same time as utterances/recollections. In crying, the new cognition destroys the cognition itself of ``what (or how) the thing is'' of the object of recollection, making it unrecognizable, and in turn, utterance/recollection also becomes impossible.

In other words, (2) linguistic reactions are based on treating the body, such as the brain, throat, and limbs, like a blackboard for the use of names (symbols), and names (symbols) are originally completely free. It is distinguishable from (4) the sensing of reactions/conditions of the body because it can be set and is essentially unrelated to the body.

By distinguishing between (2) linguistic reactions and (4) perception of biological states/reactions, the result of matching the meaning and object in linguistic operations such as laughter and crying, and the results of perception of biological states/reactions. Able to discriminate and analyze emotions.

Next, I will explain the distinction between (3) control/acquisition of a physical object and response in aspiration to its quantity difference, and (4) sensing of biological state/response.

The reaction in the control/acquisition of a physical object and the desire for the difference in its quantity occurs on consciousness, and the consciousness that recognizes the control/acquisition object, the reference quantity, and the quantity that is compared with the reference quantity. is the premise, and it is not always accompanied by the state/reaction of the living body, that is, temperature change or heartbeat change.

By distinguishing between (3) control/acquisition of a physical object and the response in desire for the difference in its quantity, and (4) perception of the biological state/response, whether it is possible to control/acquire a physical object and its quantity Emotions can be analyzed by distinguishing between pleasure and discomfort associated with the perception of superiority or disadvantage, and pleasure or discomfort resulting from sensing the state/reaction of the living body.

The effect of discrimination based on each generation principle has been described above.

Another effect of the present invention is that, in terms of problem solving, emotions and reactions to be resolved can be specified. (1) Objects requiring absoluteness/universality with respect to ethical/aesthetic feelings, (2) Objects of compounding/affirmation/denial of meaning with respect to linguistic reactions, (3) Control/control of physical objects (4) Sensing to a biological state/response, the biological state/response, and so on. can do things

Therefore, for example, the pleasure and discomfort of biological states/reactions, the pleasure and discomfort of physical control/acquisition, and physical quantity differences should be dealt with based on misunderstandings, such as dealing with issues of good and bad in terms of ethical/aesthetic sense. can be prevented.

That is, for example, in medical counseling, crime prevention, child guidance in school education, etc., in performing emotional analysis, motives and impulses are based on ethical/aesthetic perceptions, control/acquisition of physical objects and their physical quantities. It is possible to analyze whether it is based on the desire for difference or simply based on the state / reaction of the living body and identify the coping method.

Alternatively, according to the present invention, for example, if it is possible to detect reactions specific to any of the above generation principles by measuring the brain, facial expressions, and the like, semantic analysis based on the generation principles can be performed in emotional estimation based on body measurements. It becomes possible.

However, the brain is only that of an animal, and how to treat the symbol for language with personality, that is, the body, is freely set for each language and for each individual. ) and ``what things are'' in language recognition are freely set, so ``brains and bodies for language with ethical/aesthetic sensibilities or personalities'' cannot exist.

Therefore, it is conceivable that certain ethical/aesthetic feelings and brain reactions specific to language reactions may not be detected from the body.

This is because in ethical/aesthetic activities and language usage involving personality, the body of a living being is nothing more than a blackboard for expression, which is completely unrelated to language involving ethical/aesthetic sensibility and personality.

Therefore, it is possible that even emotions with different generation principles can have similar physical reactions. For example, the brain response may be the same whether the purpose is satisfied in terms of ethical/aesthetic sense or the satisfaction of possession or superiority in the quantity difference is obtained. are the same, indicating that emotions cannot be defined by bodily responses).

1 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention;

In the present invention, for example, a classification table based on the generation principle of emotions and reactions of terms indicating emotions as shown in FIG. 2 is prepared, and an emotion classification process as shown in FIG. 1 is performed.

That is, the present invention can be used, for example, in the analysis or experiment of emotions, when the emotions or reactions to be handled are (1) based on ethical/aesthetic senses, or (3) control/acquisition of a physical object and the recognition of advantages and disadvantages of the difference in physical quantity; (4) pleasure and discomfort, excitement and depression, etc. It is classified according to the principle of generation, such as whether it is a thing or not.

The present invention can be incorporated into various classification processes.

The notation used for classification such as "joy" and "sorrow" shall be changed as appropriate.

As described above, according to the method for classifying emotions according to the present invention, it is possible to classify terms indicating emotions according to the principle of generation of emotions and reactions to analyze and experiment emotions. It is useful for emotional analysis and experiments, such as emotion estimation, detection of emotions that can cause dangerous driving, sensory evaluation and sensitivity analysis of products, and medical counseling.

4 is an example of an emotion classification process according to the present invention; It is an example of a classification table based on the generation principle of emotions and reactions of terms indicating emotions in the present invention.
