BlitzMe: a Social Media Platform Combining Smile Recognition and Human Computation for Positive Mood Enhancement

EasyChair Preprint 14647

Abstract

We present BlitzMe, a novel social media platform specialized in humorous content enabling users to evaluate content through smile recognition. Although determining whether a content contains humor is considered a highly challenging task for computers to solve, it is thought to be a natural reaction for humans, often manifesting as a smile. By capturing real-time facial recognition, BlitzMe transforms these emotional responses into metrics for positive content engagement without imposing mental effort to users.

Keyphrases: Human Computer Interaction, Human-AI Collaboration, collective intelligence, human computation, smile recognition, social media
