From Multimedia Affective Computing to Ubiquitous Psychological Computing: How an AI Lab Crosses the Middle Ground Between Research and Industry从多模态情感计算到普适心理计算:一个 AI 实验室如何走过科研到产业化的中间地带
人工智能正在从“完成任务的工具”走向“理解人的系统”。当大模型、机器人、数字人、智能座舱和心理健康服务逐渐进入日常生活,一个更深层的问题开始浮现:AI 能否理解人的情绪、压力、认知负荷和心理状态?它能否在真实环境中提供可信、可用、可长期运行的支持?
这正是合肥工业大学 MAC-Lab 长期关注的方向。
MAC-Lab 的全称是 Multimedia Affective Computing Lab,即多模态情感计算实验室。这个名字保留了团队最早的研究根基:自然语言处理、人机交互、多模态情感计算。经过二十余年的延伸,团队进一步凝练出普适心理计算和具身情感智能两个核心方向,把语言、表情、语音、行为、生理信号、场景信息与心理状态建模连接起来。
情感计算和心理计算并不是“识别一个情绪标签”那么简单。真正进入场景时,系统需要面对传感噪声、个体差异、隐私边界、用户信任、硬件集成、长期运维和产品定义等复杂问题。一个算法在论文中有效,并不意味着它可以在学校、医院、座舱、健康人居或公共服务场景中稳定运行。
MAC-Lab 的特点,在于团队已经反复走过这段从实验室研究到真实应用之间的中间地带。
在基础研究层面,团队围绕自然语言处理、情感语义、多模态情绪识别、心理状态建模、情感支持对话、具身情感交互等方向持续积累。相关研究连接 IEEE、ACM 汇刊以及 ACL、EMNLP、CVPR、ACM Multimedia、ICASSP、AAAI 等国际学术交流体系,也与中国人工智能学会、自然语言理解、情感计算和先进智能机器等学术平台保持紧密联系。
在工程系统层面,团队并不把算法孤立在论文或演示中,而是把研究持续推进到可部署平台。智能心理监护、身心评测一体机、心身干预座舱、智能座舱中的心理状态感知、数字人和具身情感智能体,都是这一方向的具体延伸。团队形成了从模型、数据、感知模块、交互设计到系统部署的完整训练链条。
在成果转化层面,团队已经形成专利、软件著作权、标准、系统平台和用户场景的多层沉淀。多项专利成果转化、健康住区环境保障智能系统相关标准参编,以及面向数字健康、健康人居、教育心理、智能座舱和公共安全等场景的应用探索,使 MAC-Lab 的研究逐步走向可交付、可验证、可复用。
这种路径也决定了 MAC-Lab 的学生培养方式。团队鼓励本科生和研究生从真实问题出发,参与创新竞赛、科研论文、专利软著、系统平台和产业合作。一个好的学生项目,不应在获奖或演示后停止,而应继续沉淀为论文、数据、系统模块和长期研究问题。
面向合作伙伴,MAC-Lab 的价值也不只是“做一个模型”或“搭一个平台”。行业里的情感与人因问题,常常需要从场景痛点开始,逐步明确可采集的信号、需要建模的状态、可以支撑的决策、适合的反馈方式,以及系统如何在现场长期运行。无论是多模态情感识别、人因与心智状态建模、岗位身心能力评价、身心效能优化,还是认知计算与具身情感交互,真正可靠的合作都需要把科学问题、工程约束、伦理边界和产业落地放在同一条路线中设计。
因此,MAC-Lab 更适合参与长期、严肃、能够沉淀能力的产学研合作。合作成果可以是算法模块,也可以是评价方法、试点数据、软硬件终端、管理平台、干预座舱、数字人接口、场景验证报告和可继续迭代的产品方向。
从多模态情感计算到普适心理计算,再到具身情感智能,MAC-Lab 的研究主线始终围绕一个核心问题展开:如何让 AI 更懂人的状态,并在真实场景中更好地支持人。
English Feature Story英文长稿
Artificial intelligence is moving from task automation toward systems that interact with people in more situated, emotional, and long-term contexts. This shift raises a difficult question: can AI understand human affect, stress, cognitive load, psychological state, and social context well enough to support people responsibly in real environments?
This question sits at the center of MAC-Lab at Hefei University of Technology.
MAC-Lab began as the Multimedia Affective Computing Lab. The name preserves the lab's original focus on natural language processing, human-computer interaction, and multimodal affective computing. Over more than two decades, this foundation has expanded into two connected frameworks: Ubiquitous Psychological Computing and Embodied Emotional Intelligence.
The lab values high-quality publications, but its distinctive value lies in the difficult middle between publishable research and deployable capability. In psychological computing, a model that performs well in a paper is only the beginning. Real systems must handle sensor noise, individual differences, privacy constraints, field validation, user trust, hardware-software integration, and long-term maintainability.
At the research level, the lab studies affective semantics, multimodal emotion recognition, mental-state modeling, emotional support dialogue, affective large language models, and embodied emotional interaction. Its work connects with international venues and communities across IEEE and ACM Transactions, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, ACM Multimedia, ICASSP, AAAI, and related fields.
At the system level, the lab translates affective AI into platforms such as intelligent psychological monitoring systems, mind-body assessment devices, intervention cabins, smart cockpit state sensing, digital humans, and embodied emotional agents. These platforms connect models, data, sensing modules, interaction design, deployment constraints, and user scenarios.
For industry and public-sector partners, MAC-Lab offers more than a model or a demonstration. Affective and human-factors problems in real scenarios often require a full route: define the scene, identify reliable signals, model the right state, design assessment protocols, decide what support is appropriate, and deploy the system responsibly. Multimodal affect recognition, human-factors modeling, mind-body capability evaluation, performance support, cognitive computing, and embodied emotional interaction have to be connected rather than treated as separate buzzwords.
This makes the lab well suited for long-cycle partnerships where scientific depth, engineering realism, and application value must be developed together. Collaboration can lead to algorithm modules, evaluation methods, pilot datasets, software-hardware terminals, management platforms, intervention cabins, digital-human interfaces, field validation reports, and product directions that partners can continue to build on.
From multimedia affective computing to ubiquitous psychological computing and embodied emotional intelligence, MAC-Lab follows a consistent research route: building AI systems that better understand human state and can be validated in real-world environments.
