Detecting Negative Emotion for Mixed Initiative Visual Analytics.

The paper describes an efficient model to detect negative mind states caused by visual analytics tasks. We have developed a method for collecting data from multiple sensors, including GSR and eye-tracking, and quickly generating labelled training data for the machine learning model. Using this method we have created a dataset from 28 participants carrying out intentionally difficult visualization tasks. We have concluded the paper by a discussing the best performing model, Random Forest, and its future applications for providing just-in-time assistance for visual analytics.
