BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Significant advances have been made during the past few years in the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to recognize and analyze human emotion and sentiment, owing in large part to accelerated access to data (primarily social media feeds and digital video), cheaper compute power, and evolving deep learning capabilities combined with natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision.
