1. Computerized Emotion Voice Detection and Project Management HCI 575 Enanga Fale

2. Agenda Project Theory Approach Expected resources Challenges Deliverables Background Information Target Audience Questions Useful websites Useful Software Back-up Slides

3. Project Theory: Emotions and Decisions Assumptions: o Emotions alter decisions o Emotions increase or decrease the probability of a successful outcome Question\Statement Under Test: o Utilizing existing emotion detecting in voice can positively alter a decision or probability of a successful outcome in project management Difference from Prior Work in Industry: o Introducing the methodology to project management

4. Approach: Evaluation Method Have test groups make project decisions with and without the Voice Emotion Analyzer Use data to calculate probabilities to prove Voice Emotion Analyzers used in project management facilitate positive outcomes Computerized Emotion Detection o Focus on one emotion (Happy)  document if correctly detected  document decision process based on detected emotion information given to test subjects  document if project milestone was meant

5. Approach: Example Test Scenario Structure Test Environment Example o Test Subject with each watch x number of movie clips in isolation o Test Subjects will record their emotion for each movie clip o All Test Subjects will partake in a group discussion to select a clip on a particular that invoked emotion of interest for each member based a series of questions provided  Subjects facial Expressions and body expressions will be hidden to focus on the voice emotion interpretation exercise

6. Deliverables Engineering Report o Defining Emotion Detection o Defining the Uses of Emotion Detection o Previous work in Industry o Project Question on Emotion Detection and Project Management o Cases Studies & Results o Matlab Software  Code  voice waveforms o Poster

7. Target Audience Project Engineers and managers o Provide another risk ligation tool

8. Background Information Previous Work from Engineering Community: o Government and commercial applications using either voice or speech in information security

13. Defining Effective Communication in Project Management Effective Communication in Project Management is essential to promote the likely hood of successful execution and delivery a project Why doesn’t the following guarantee effective communication? o Isn’t the project manager sending the message? o Shouldn’t that be enough?

14. Defining Effective Communication in Project Management Answering the effective communication questions allows the project manager to operate in the ……. o “best” way to communicate and achieve effect results from the team and stakeholders o knows when and how to employ techniques to engage individuals Aiding the evolution of the communication model……

15. Communication Mediums Vast ways to communicate o Computers (email, websites, net conferences, Advanced HCI tools….) o Letters, Memo, Contracts…. o Meeting (face-to-face, phone…..) “New communication technologies can promote working together more effectively, and “help dispersed individuals work as a team” (Baker).
