7 Startups Giving Artificial Intelligence (AI) Emotions - Nanalyze

Founded in 2012, Israeli startup Beyond Verbal has taken in $10.1 million in 4 rounds of funding to develop a technology that "analyzes emotions from vocal intonations". Like CrowdEmotion, nViso's technology tracks the movement of 43 facial muscles using a simple webcam and then uses AI to interpret your emotions. The Company uses a branch of artificial intelligence called Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to capture people's emotions, social concerns, thinking styles, psychology, and even their use of parts of speech. The startup developed a technique to "read" human emotional state called Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) using a conventional video camera to extract information from the blood flow underneath the human face.
