Reasoning about Emotional Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the role of emotions in artificial agent design, and the use of logic in reasoning about the emotional or affective states an agent can reside in. We do so by extending the KARO framework for reasoning about rational agents appropriately. In particular we formalize in this framework how emotions are related to the action monitoring capabilities of an agent.

Justification of Customer Complaints using Emotional States and Mental Actions
We apply reasoning about mental attributes to process the scenarios of multiagent conflicts. Our approach is illustrated by the domain of complaint analysis: rather advanced methods are required to determine whether complaint is valid or not.

In Study 1, low dysphoric (BDI-II≤4; n = 28) and high dysphoric (BDI-II ≥14; n = 42) universi...
متن کاملAffective cognition: Exploring lay theories of emotion
Humans skillfully reason about others' emotions, a phenomenon we term affective cognition. Despite its importance, few formal, quantitative theories have described the mechanisms supporting this phenomenon. We propose that affective cognition involves applying domain-general reasoning processes to domain-specific content knowledge. Observers' knowledge about emotions is represented in rich and ...
متن کاملModelling Emotional BDI Agents
Emotional-BDI agents are agents whose behaviour is guided not only by beliefs, desires and intentions, but also by the role of emotions in reasoning and decision-making. In this paper we introduce the logic EBDI for specifying Emotional-BDI agents in general and a special kind of Emotional-BDI agent under the effect of fear. The focus of this work is in the expressiveness of EBDI and on using i...
