$\"\"$ BENGALURU: The pet project of Jai Menon<\/a>— the company’s chief research officer and a former chief technology officer at IBM — Dell<\/a>’s emotion-sensing technology<\/a>, was the most powerful attractor of the audience of a recently held TED talk in Amsterdam.
\n
\nThis is one of the biggest projects for Dell’s one-year-old research organisation, which is trying to look at ways to ‘disrupt’ the way people work today. During a visit to India, where Menon is trying to speak to colleges such as IIT-Madras and IISc-Bangalore for research partnerships, he talked to ET about the possible applications of emotion-sensing technology.
\n
\n“We are working to learn more about the intent of a particular user as he uses his laptop or mobile phone,” Menon said. “For example, if the software can tell a user who is playing a game is getting bored, it could ratchet up the challenge level of the game or give this feedback to the gaming company.” The more you know about a user’s intent, the better it is for personalisation, Menon said. “Today, when I do a search for a restaurant on my phone, the results are all around the location where I am, because of the GPS. Similarly, we want to go to the next level with emotion-sensing.”
\n
\nMenon, who holds 53 patents and is an alumnus of IIT-Madras and Ohio State University, said Dell is looking at camera-based inputs to detect if you’re happy or sad or grimacing and using a speech analytics software to detect the level of stress. “We have a prototype that tells you what your mood is as you speak,” he said.
\n
\nHe said the technology could also have applications in the healthcare space. “There are certain signs that people emit before they have a stroke. This research can possibly be used to detect such signs and detect a stroke before things get out of hand.”
\n
\nDell Research is working on another technology that, according to Menon, could transform security.
\n
\nThe technology called continuous authentication monitors your usage pattern on a mobile and detects the possibility of the device being used by an unauthorised person.
\n
\nThis works even if the unauthorised person has access to your actual password.
\n
\n“Our algorithm continuously monitors the usage and can say that the probability of it being with its original owner has dropped below 90% and then can be disabled,” Menon said.
\n
\nMenon said many such research projects would be led out of India along with university tie-ups as well as through investments in local companies.
\n
\nMenon will be talking to startups in storage and healthcare space for possible investment or buyout opportunities. “There are a lot of smart people and a lot of smart technologies in India. Part of my role is to tap into that.”
\n
\nWithout quoting numbers, Menon said the company is increasing its R&D spending significantly after becoming private in 2013.
\n
\nHe said he sees India becoming the next big R&D hub for the company outside of the US in the coming years.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":45370116,"title":"Orange Business Services appoints Patrick Sim as head of Asia Pacific","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/orange-business-services-appoints-patrick-sim-as-head-of-asia-pacific\/45370116","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":false}],"related_content":[],"msid":45380850,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Dell working on emotion-sensing technology","synopsis":"Jai Menon is working on one of the biggest projects for co\u2019s one-year-old research organisation \u2014 a software that can read users\u2019 emotions.","titleseo":"dell-working-on-emotion-sensing-technology","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Varun Aggarwal","author_link":"\/author\/479235273\/varun-aggarwal","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479235273.cms?width=100&height=100&hid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479235273,"author_name":"Varun Aggarwal","author_seo_name":"varun-aggarwal","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2014-12-05 09:20:29","lastupd":"2014-12-05 09:22:53","breadcrumbTags":["Enterprise Services","Dell","new technology","Jai Menon","emotion-sensing technology"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"dell-working-on-emotion-sensing-technology"}}" data-authors="[" varun aggarwal"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2014-12-05" data-index="article_1">

戴尔致力于情绪感知技术

班加罗尔:宠物的项目洁梅农——公司的首席研究和前首席技术官在IBM -戴尔的情绪感知技术,是最强大的吸引子的观众最近在阿姆斯特丹举行的TED演讲。

这是最大的一个项目为戴尔的一岁大的研究机构,正试图看看方法“扰乱”今天人们的工作方式。在访问印度,梅农试图讲大学如IIT-Madras和IISc-Bangalore研究伙伴关系,他说对情绪感知技术的可能的应用等。

“我们正在努力了解更多关于一个特定用户的意图,因为他使用他的笔记本电脑或手机,“Menon说。“例如,如果软件可以告诉用户玩游戏感到厌烦,它可以加大游戏的挑战性或反馈给游戏公司。“你知道用户的意图,更好的是个性化,Menon说。“今天,当我做一个搜索一个餐厅在我的电话,结果到处都是我的位置,由于GPS。同样,我们想去下一水平情绪感知。”

梅农拥有53个专利和IIT-Madras和俄亥俄州立大学的校友,表示戴尔基于摄像头观察输入检测如果你快乐或悲伤或扮鬼脸,使用语音分析软件检测水平的压力。“我们有一个原型,告诉你你的情绪是你说什么,”他说。

他说,技术也可以应用在医疗空间。“有一些迹象表明,人们发出之前他们有中风。这项研究可能可以用来检测信号和检测中风之前事情失控。”

戴尔正在研究另一种技术,根据梅农,可以改变安全。

技术称为连续验证监控你的使用模式在移动和检测设备的可能性被未经授权的人。

这是即使未经授权的人访问你的实际密码。

“我们的算法不断监控使用,可以说它与原始所有者的概率低于90%,然后可以禁用,“Menon说。

Menon说,许多这样的研究项目将导致印度与大学的合作以及通过投资本地企业。

梅农将在存储和医疗空间与创业公司可能的投资或收购的机会。“有很多聪明的人很多在印度智能技术。我的部分职责是挖掘。”

没有引用的数字,Menon说,该公司是在2013年成为私人后大幅增加研发投入。

他说,他认为印度成为下一个大型的研发中心在未来几年美国以外的公司。
