StarFlake Empathy Engine:
Mapping Emotions for AI Empathy: Empowering AI with a deeper understanding of human emotions through a multi-dimensional model.
Introduction
The StarFlake Empathy Engine is an innovative approach to modeling human emotions, designed to enhance AI's ability to understand and respond empathetically. By mapping emotions across 16 bipolar axes, such as Joy:Grief and Hope:Despair, the StarFlake provides a detailed emotional fingerprint that can be used to tailor AI interactions to individual and collective emotional states.
What is a StarFlake?
The StarFlake is a 16-pointed star structure, centered at (0,0), where each spoke represents a bipolar emotional axis. For example:
- Axis A: Joy:Grief
- Axis B: Hope:Despair
A Full list appears at the end of the article, and we are looking to expand these metrics in order to make the emapthy engine as accurate as possible; the more metrics the more accurate. The axis relations may differ slightly, each axis is further refined by four sub-emotions, or "twigs," which provide additional granularity. For instance, the Joy pole might include twigs like - Happiness,
- Elation,
- Delight,
- Bliss,
opposed the the grief pole; - Sorrow,
- Despair,
- Heartbreak,
- Melancholy.
Each having a numerical value 1 to 5 displayed by it's length along the pole, spaced equally. We are looking to expand upon these metrics to make the representation as accurate as possible.
How it Works
Users can score their emotions on each axis, typically on a scale from 0 to 10, indicating the intensity of each pole. These scores shape the StarFlake's visual representation:
- In 2D, it appears as a "buckled wheel," where the rim's shape is determined by the emotional scores.
- In 3D, it forms a "distorted bubble," with similar emotions attracting each other to create clusters.
This multi-dimensional model allows for both numerical and visual pattern recognition, enabling AI to interpret complex emotional states.
Purpose and Applications
The primary goal of the StarFlake Empathy Engine is to power AI systems that can interact with humans in a more empathetic and ethically sound manner, guided by the principle of "do no harm unless it causes less harm." Potential applications include:
- Mental health support
- Enhanced customer service interactions
- Tailored educational content
