An Affective Service based on Multi-Modal Emotion Recognition, using EEG enabled Emotion Tracking and Speech Emotion Recognition

From 1964 to 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum created ELIZA - a natural language processing computer program. ELIZA engaged and simulated conversations with users, that gave them the illusion of being understood by the program, without in fact having any built in framework to do so. One of ELIZA's most famous script “DOCTOR” simulated the method of “Person-centered therapy” by responding with non-directional questions to user inputs. Weizenbaum was surprised by the number of individuals who attributed human-like feelings to the computer program. While ELIZA was capable of engaging in discourse, it could not converse with true understanding [1].
