Professor touts EmoMask idea - Taipei Times

A professor has turned to artificial intelligence (AI) in a bid to help people express themselves from behind masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A project to create EmoMasks headed by National Tsing Hua University associate professor Pao Sheng-ying (包盛盈) uses AI to detect and express emotional states, hoping to break down the barrier to such behavior created by a government mask mandate.
Standard masks have become the new norm in Taiwan and the world since the outbreak of COVID-19, and while people in Taiwan are more accepting of them, wearing a mask abroad still projects aloofness or indifference, Pao said on Sunday.
