In our projects we apply swarmcreativity to increase happiness of living beings. This means to improve connectivity between humans, animals, and plants. In our projects we will form COINs (Collaborative Innovation Networks) to create tools to measure and improve communication between humans, humans and animals, and humans and plants.
See www.biolingo.org for an overview.
Connecing with the right people, sharing your values and interests, will increase your groupflow and happiness. Projects in this field are using AI to measure your happiness from your emotions measured from text, smartphones, face expressions, voice, and body posture.
Connecting people with animals to understand each other and communicate better will increase both the happiness and wellbeing of your pets, such as dogs and cats, and horses and cows and yourself. Projects in this domain will be using videos, voice, and other sensor data tracking animals to compared it to ground truth such as audio and image files labeled with the emotions and health status of animals. We will also be using unsupervised learning to further identify mood states of animals that we do not know yet.
Connecting with nature is good for you. Projects in this area will help you communicate with your house plants. In past work we have developed specialized hardware that measures the "brainwaves" of plants, similar to EEGs of human brains. These "plant action potentials" are then fed as input to machine learning models to predict human mood. We will for instance use plants such as basil as sensors to measure human emotions and stress in a non-intrusive way.
