Abstract

To infer user’s response when using mobile services without direct interrogation, we propose an algorithm that analyzes earlobe plethysmograms to determine low-level mental states such as ‘relax’, ‘concentration’, ‘awake’. We use subject’s responses acquired in a subjective evaluation as indicative of low-level mental states when subjects use some mobile contents. In order to draw an inference of low-level mental states based on plethysmogram features, our proposed algorithm uses a kernel-based regression model such as Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) or Support Vector Regression (SVR). Our evaluations show that features effective for inferring user’s low-level mental states can be extracted from plethysmograms by using regression and Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD); the regression performance of GPR and SVR are described.
