Artificial Empathy Classification: A Survey of Deep Learning Techniques, Datasets, and Evaluation Scales

Understand

From the last decade, researchers in the field of machine learning (ML) and assistive developmental robotics (ADR) have taken an interest in artificial empathy (AE) as a possible future paradigm for human-robot interaction (HRI).

• Humans learn empathy since birth, therefore, it is challenging to instill this sense in robots and intelligent machines.
• Nevertheless, by training over a vast amount of data and time, imitating empathy, to a certain extent, can be possible for robots.
• Training techniques for AE, along with findings from the field of empathetic AI research, are ever-evolving.
