A Hybrid Symbolic-Connectionist Approach to Modeling Emotions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a framework for modeling emotions in an interactive, decision-making agent. In tune with modern theories of emotions (e.g., Damasio, 1995; LeDoux, 1992), we regard emotions essentially as subconscious signals and evaluations that inform, modify, and receive feedback from a variety of sources including higher cognitive processes and the sensorimotor system. Thus, our work explicitly distinguishes the subconscious processes (in a connectionist implementation) and the decision making that is subject to emotional influences (in

need for such models has been growing slowly but steadily over the past five years. Some new, important approaches have been proposed and developed, some of which were presented at the workshop. In sum, the participants felt that it was definitely worthwhile to further pursue research in this area because it might generate important new ideas and significant new applications in the near future....
متن کاملLinguistic Relations Encoding in a Symbolic-Connectionist Hybrid Natural Language Processor
In recent years, the Natural Language Processing scene has witnessed the steady growth of interest in connectionist modeling. The main appeal of such an approach is that one does not have to determine the grammar rules in advance: the learning abilities displayed by such systems take care of input regularities. Better and faster learning can be obtained through the implementation of a symbolic-...

Modeling of a connectionist rule-based systems (or Neuro-AJ hybrid system) discussed through the paper will be a fruitful step towards the practical modeling of human cognition. This paper investigates a plausible and useful integration method of symbolic Al techniques and connectionist models and proposes a practical implementation, mainly how variables can be included in the structured inform...
متن کاملHybrid Approaches to Neural Network-based Language Processing
In this paper we outline hybrid approaches to arti cial neural network-based natural language processing. We start by motivating hybrid symbolic/connectionist processing. Then we suggest various types of symbolic/connectionist integration for language processing: connectionist structure architectures, hybrid transfer architectures, hybrid processing architectures. Furthermore, we focus particul...
متن کاملNeurosymbolic integration: unified versus hybrid approaches
Since the mid-1980s, researchers have been pursuing the goal of neurosymbolic integration, i.e., the construction of systems capable of both symbolic and neural processing. We distinguish two major avenues toward this goal: the uniied and the hybrid approaches. Whereas the uniied approach claims that full symbol processing functionalities can be achieved via neural networks alone, the hybrid ap...
