Emotion Recognition in Human–Computer Interaction

Dear Colleagues,

Human–computer interaction is increasingly utilized in smart homes, industry 4.0 and personal health. Emotion recognition connects several disciplines, i.e., psychology, electronics/sensors, signal processing, and machine learning. Many techniques have been utilized to extract emotions from signals, including deep learning and speech analysis and so on. In human–computer interaction (HCI) applications, it is essential for the machine, such as a computer or a robot, to measure, understand, simulate, and react to human emotions. Thus, emotion recognition is an important component for human–computer interaction (HCI).

We invite original research papers and review articles on human–computer interaction (HCI)-related emotion recognition innovations, including but not limited to the following topics around emotion recognition:

• Emotion recognition;
• Speech emotion recognition;
• Affective database creation and experimental datasets;
• Data preprocessing;
• Non-intrusive sensor technologies;
• Emotion recognition using mobile phones and smart bracelets;
• Machine-learning techniques for emotion recognition; 
• Deep learning for emotion recognition;
• Emotion recognition in smart homes;
• Emotion recognition in industry 4.0;
• Emotion recognition using physiological signals

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
