Research Abstract

An engineering discipline that deals with richness of people' s minds, in other words, Enriching Mental Engineering(EME) was proposed. In particular, its research content, methodologies, and tasks were described with respect to the academic framework of EME. Based on the results of psychological experiments, a mental state transition network was constructed using statistical methods. We proposed a method for estimating people' s mental states and studied the emotional energy function. Further, we constructed a blog emotion corpus and proposed a method of detecting depression from blogs.
