New software developed at Innopolis University allows you to recognize emotions
The authors of the development also claim that their software will prevent cases of corporate espionage.
According to the proposed solution, in the workplacean employee who has access to critical information, a regular webcam is installed. During operation, the software analyzes the emotional and physiological state of a person in real time. The algorithm predicts a person's intentions, and if the system assumes that the user is about to commit illegal actions, access to information is denied. “The most famous situation that our service could have prevented happened in 2014. Edward Snowden, a system administrator at the US National Security Agency, stole classified agency documents, ”explains Nikita Mokhnatkin, head of the Information Security Sector at Innopolis University.
At the same time, the scope of application of the development is notlimited only to information security, Mokhnatkin notes. “Analysis of the emotional and physiological state of a person with the help of computer vision also determines the state of physical fatigue, alcoholic and drug intoxication, and a low level of attention to the work being done. Therefore, our solution can potentially detect a terrorist in a public place, smugglers at the border, track the fatigue of an aircraft or bus pilot, and recognize people's reactions to marketing and advertising materials. Our software coped well with the latter task during test operation in a shopping center in Ufa: the system tracked the emotional response of visitors to advertising on the information desk, tracked exactly where people were looking and what interested the person the most, ”the specialist explains.
Ramil Kuleev, Director of the Institute of Artificialintelligence of Innopolis University: “Determining the emotional background of a person for information security tasks is a non-trivial project. Our solution does not use special sensors, but only the video stream is analyzed. At the same time, this data set is enough for our algorithm to determine whether a person is faking emotions or not. In addition to defining a set of emotions, which has already been implemented in similar solutions, the Innopolis University system allows you to get full feedback and determine the emotional response of a person, and predict his intentions. This is where the product of a Russian IT university is unique. ”
