Extended emotion

The “ Resource ” Approach to Emotion ( Extended

In this paper, we present a model for the simulation of affective behaviour without emotion categories, centered around the theory of conservation of resources [3]. Each agent can acquire or protect resources, and behaviour choice depends on resources state, as well as agent’s needs and preferences. We also present a first evaluation.

Emotion Based Control Architecture for Robotics Applications (extended version)

Assistance and service systems are one of the main research topics in robotics today. A major problem for creating these systems is that they have to work and navigate in the real world. Because this world is too complex to model, these robots need to make intelligent decisions and create an intelligent behavior without knowing everything about the current situation. For these aspects, the impo...

Extended Abstract

Emotion and Emotion Science

For a long time most philosophers and some psychologists sought to understand emotions in terms of the thoughts they characteristically involve. Recent achievements in neuroscience and experimental psychology have encouraged radical change: it has become easier to see emotions as essentially visceral experiences that are sometimes flanked by thoughts at one remove but are sometimes quite unmedi...

Emotion recognition from speech using extended feature selection and a simple classifier

We describe extensive experiments on the recognition of emotion from speech using acoustic features only. Two databases of acted emotional speech (Berlin and DES) have been used in this work. The principal focus is on methods for selection of good features from a relatively large set of hand-crafted features, perhaps formed by fusing different feature sets used by different researchers. We show...
