Participants complete a short “empathic response” writing task: they read an emotionally meaningful prompt (a short story / personal incident vignette) and write a response as if replying to the person. The task is to build author-profiling models across three domains: (a) prompted empathic response, personal writing sample, and social posts, (b) physiological signals from wearables, (c) face video taken while doing the text part. Use individual modalities and sensor fusion (early or late) to improve results.
