So, take for example human emotion.
以人類的情感為例。
Right now, computers can make sense of our most basic ones,
如今，電腦能夠明白我們的基本情感，
like joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust, by converting those characteristics to math.
比如開(kāi)心、傷心、生氣、恐懼、厭惡，把這些特征轉(zhuǎn)化為數(shù)學(xué)。
But what about the more complex emotions?
那較復(fù)雜的情感呢？
You know, those emotions that we have a hard time describing to each other? Like nostalgia.
比如那些很難用文字向?qū)Ψ矫枋龅那楦校热纾瑧雅f。
So, to explore this, I created a piece of art, an experience, that asked people to share a memory,
所以，為了探索這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我創(chuàng)造了一件藝術(shù)品，一種體驗(yàn)，要求人們分享他們的記憶，
and I teamed up with some data scientists to figure out how to take an emotion that's so highly subjective
我和一些數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)家組成一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)，去研究高度主觀的情感是怎樣的，
and convert it into something mathematically precise.
如何將它們精確地轉(zhuǎn)化為數(shù)學(xué)。
So, we created what we call a nostalgia score and it's the heart of this installation.
我們創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)叫懷舊分?jǐn)?shù)的東西，這是這個(gè)裝置的核心。
To do that, the installation asks you to share a story, the computer then analyzes it for its simpler emotions,
這個(gè)裝置會(huì)要求你分享一則故事，電腦會(huì)分析它的一些簡(jiǎn)單的情感，
it checks for your tendency to use past-tense wording
它會(huì)檢測(cè)你使用過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)的詞語(yǔ)的偏好，
and also looks for words that we tend to associate with nostalgia, like "home," "childhood" and "the past."
還會(huì)尋找與懷舊有關(guān)的詞語(yǔ)，比如“家”、“童年”和“過(guò)去”。
It then creates a nostalgia score to indicate how nostalgic your story is.
它最后會(huì)給出一個(gè)懷舊分?jǐn)?shù)，代表著你的故事的懷舊程度。
And that score is the driving force behind these light-based sculptures that serve as physical embodiments of your contribution.
這個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)會(huì)讓這個(gè)燈箱的顏色發(fā)生變化，代表著你的貢獻(xiàn)。
And the higher the score, the rosier the hue. You know, like looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.
分?jǐn)?shù)越高，色調(diào)越偏向玫瑰紅色。就像是通過(guò)玫紅色的眼鏡看世界。
So, when you see your score and the physical representation of it, sometimes you'd agree and sometimes you wouldn't.
當(dāng)你看到你的分?jǐn)?shù)，以及它的外部反映時(shí)，有時(shí)你會(huì)贊同，有時(shí)不贊同。
It's as if it really understood how that experience made you feel.
有的時(shí)候就好像它真的明白故事里的你當(dāng)時(shí)的感受。
But other times it gets tripped up and has you thinking it doesn't understand you at all.
但有的時(shí)候它也會(huì)出錯(cuò)，會(huì)讓你覺(jué)得它一點(diǎn)也不懂你。
But the piece really serves to show that if we have a hard time explaining the emotions that we have to each other,
但這個(gè)裝置能夠說(shuō)明，如果連我們都很難表述清楚的情感，
how can we teach a computer to make sense of them?
我們?cè)撊绾谓屉娔X明白呢？
