The author of over a hundred peer-reviewed scientific articles in multidimensional ], ], ], ], and ], Picard is known internationally for pioneering research in affective computing and, prior to that, for pioneering research in content-based image and video retrieval. She is recipient (with ]) of a best paper prize for work on machine learning with multiple models (1998) and is recipient (with ] and ]) of a "best theory paper" prize for their work on ] in human ] (2001). Her award-winning book, ], (MIT Press, 1997) lays the groundwork for giving machines the skills of emotional intelligence. She and her students have designed and developed a variety of new sensors, algorithms, and systems for sensing, recognizing, and responding respectfully to human affective information, with applications in human and machine learning, health, and human-computer interaction. She was named a Fellow of the ] in November 2004. |
