Resumen

Developing an approach to predict happiness based on individual conditions and actions could enable us to select daily behaviors for enhancing well-being in life. Therefore, we propose a novel approach of applying machine learning, a branch of the field of artificial intelligence, to a variety of information concerning people’s lives (i.e., a lifelog). We asked a participant (a healthy young man) to record 55 lifelog items (e.g., positive mood, negative events, sleep time etc.) in his daily life for about eight months using smartphone apps and a smartwatch. We then constructed a predictor to estimate the degree of happiness from the multimodal lifelog data using a support vector machine, which achieved 82.6% prediction accuracy. This suggests that our approach can predict the behaviors that increase individuals’ happiness in their daily lives, thereby contributing to improvement in their happiness. Future studies examining the usability and clinical applicability of this approach would benefit from a larger and more diverse sample size.

Tetsuya Yamamoto, Graduate School of Technology, Industrial and Social Sciences, Tokushima University, Tokushima, Japan; Intercontinental Neuroscience Research Group

Tetsuya Yamamoto is an Associate Professor at Graduate School of Technology, Industrial and Social Sciences, Tokushima University. He is also a Clinical Psychologist and a Director of Clinical Psychoinformatics Laboratory. He received the Ph.D. degree in Human Science from the Waseda University. He completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh and the Hiroshima University. His academic research field is linked to vulnerability assessment and intervention for depression. Using an approach based on AI, neuroendocrinology and cognitive neuroscience (e.g., machine learning, cortisol, BDNF, EEG, fMRI), he has been conducting experiments aimed at understanding the vulnerability mechanisms for depression.
