Affective Computing

Glossary Page

A computing device equipped with the ability to detect and suitably respond to user emotions and other stimuli is what we refer to as affective computing. This capacity enables the device to gather emotional cues from various sources such as facial expressions, posture, gestures, speech, keystrokes force or rhythm, and even temperature changes of the user's hand on the mouse. All of these cues can signify changes in the user's emotional state, which can then be detected and interpreted by the computer. To accomplish this, a built-in camera captures images of the user, and algorithms are used to process the data into meaningful information. Besides, affective computing applications are exploring technologies such as speech recognition and gesture recognition.

Migrating Motion Data from On-Premises to AWS Cloud

This article outlines our experience migrating workloads from an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud, culminating in the decommissioning of our last server in December 2024. The migration focused on our Motion Data product, which leverages geo-information analytics from Deutsche Telekom's mobile network to provide anonymized mass movement insights for industries such as retail, tourism, and public transport. Our transition to AWS was driven by rising colocation costs and the need to modernize our infrastructure, which faced limitations due to outdated technology constraints, high maintenance efforts, and inefficient storage and compute resource management. We selected AWS's Replatforming approach to harness managed services, improve scalability, and replace legacy Hadoop infrastructure with a more flexible Spark-on-Kubernetes and S3-based solution. The migration delivered key benefits, including 35% lower infrastructure costs, access to up-to-date technology stacks, and removal of resource constraints for compute workloads. By leveraging AWS-managed services such as Kubernetes (EKS), EMR, and RDS, we optimized performance, simplified operations, and positioned ourselves for future growth and innovation in cloud-native environments.
