IDEA Lab

IDEA Lab

The research focus of IDEA Lab emphasizes on intelligent data analysis for domains such as streaming multimedia, web, social networks, and other public accessible data.

Multilingual Emotion Analysis

Multilingual Emotion Analysis

We proposed unsupervised graph-based algorithms to extract emotion patterns that bear emotion from social data. The full system works with different languages and domains.

Intention Identification

Intention Identification

A probabilistic framework capable of mapping users to their social networking interests is proposed to analyze what users are personally feel and how their intentions propagate through time.

Interactive Music Platform

Interactive Music Platform

We believe that if IT can make mass media more accessible to the people, it will increase early exposure to different types of music.
