Beyond Verbal is an Israeli start-up company that has developed a tool for Emotion recognition using vocal intonation.[1][2]
Overview
Beyond Verbal commercializes patented technology from 18 years of research by physicists and neuropsychologists into the mechanisms of human intonations.[3] The company says that its technology enables machines to understand human emotions by analyzing raw voice intonations as people speak.[4][5][6][7]
History
The company founders are Yoav Hoshen, Yuval Mor, Yuval Rabin and Ambassador Ned Siegel. Its technology was based on the research of Dr. Yoram Levanon and neuro-psychologist Lan Lossos. The idea for Beyond Verbal came to Levanon after observing how babies, who do not understand a single word, can figure out how their caretakers feel about them. After testing 60,000 subjects in 26 languages, he developed a system called Emotion Analytics to extract, decode and measure human moods, attitudes and personalities.[8]
