In a quick experiment, a system was trained to associate language objects with empathic emotions; the emotions were then associated with colors. As a result, words composing more than 65% of the written English literature were associated with color representation of emotions.
Point made is that it does not require much to artificially embed simple representation of human empathy in machines.
A derivative of this experiment can include probabilistic empathy recognition in complete sentences, poems, or stories.
The application, named INSPIRO, was adopted for inclusion in an ambient light system peripheral, and is available for free download at http://www.arfx.nl
