Sensing Emotions in Text Messages: An Application and Deployment Study of EmotionPushShih-Ming Wang, Chun-Hui Li, Yu-Chun Lo et al.
Instant messaging and push notifications play important roles in modern digital life. To enable robust sense-making and rich context awareness in computer mediated communications, we introduce EmotionPush, a system that automatically conveys the emotion of received text with a colored push notification on mobile devices. EmotionPush is powered by state-of-the-art emotion classifiers and is deployed for Facebook Messenger clients on Android. The study showed that the system is able to help users prioritize interactions.
