Interestingness of people for products and processes involved in online interaction

Futuristic Project revolves around the notion of statistically quantifying the supposedly unquantifiable mental property of interest. This is done to elevate a machine from a mere mechanical device to a full-fledged system capable of behaving intelligently like a human. Furthermore, it has often been speculated that interest can be felt and not quantified. It is, after all, a human emotion. Therefore, can a machine feel or rather understand the emotion of interest? Is it even imaginable let alone possible?

The question that we have raised here not only challenges the current state-of- the-art, but it also raises additional issues for AI. Despite the significant nature of the problem, we are working to devise a method that can estimate a person’s interest, the future applications can be truly tremendous. For instance, computational systems could then monitor the interestingness of people toward online platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter etc.), employers could administer the interest of their employees in commercial projects. It is that the application of such a method could, at times, outperform our current imagination.
