Adaptive agents: emotion learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to [Botelho and Coelho 1998a, 1998b] emotion plays an important role at the control level of emotion systems. Essentially, emotion may lead to reflexive behaviors, to the creation or intensification of motivators, and to set new criteria for plan selection. Emotion is a sequential, possibly iterative process that comprises appraisal stages, signal generation stages and emotion-responses. In this paper, we argue that adaptive behavior may be achieved through a process of emotion learning. We point out three ways in which an agent can improve its emotion processes and therefore become more adaptive: learning new affective appraisal rules, learning new emotion-signals, and learning new emotion-responses.

Integrating Adaptive Emotional Agents in ITS
Our project concerns the improvement of computer-based learning by the means of a lifelike presence in the learning environment. The approach combines Intelligent Tutoring System works with research on human emotion in Cognitive Science, Psychology and Communication. According for the relations between emotion, cognition and action in contextual learning, we propose an ITS model based on a mult...
متن کاملEmergent Dynamics of Joy, Distress, Hope and Fear in Reinforcement Learning Agents
We report on a study that shows plausible emotion dynamics for joy, distress, hope and fear, emerging in an adaptive agent that uses Reinforcement Learning (RL) to adapt to a task. Joy/distress is a signal that is derived from the RL update signal, while hope/fear is derived from the utility of the current state. Agent-based simulation experiments replicate psychological and behavioral dynamics...
متن کاملA reinforcement learning model of joy, distress, hope and fear
In this paper we computationally study the relation between adaptive behavior and emotion. Using the Reinforcement Learning framework, we propose that learned state utility, V(s), models fear (negative) and hope (positive) based on the fact that both signals are about anticipation of loss or gain. Further, we propose that joy/distress is a signal similar to the error signal. We present agent-ba...

Abstract Objective: To compare the effectiveness of memory work and critical thinking training of children's movement regulation with special methods. Method: The current research was a semi-experimental research with a pre-test, post-test and control group design. The statistical population included all students aged 9 to 12 who referred to the center for special problems in Tabriz distri...
متن کاملLearning by appraising: an emotion-based approach to intrinsic reward design
In this paper, we investigate the use of emotional information in the learning process of autonomous agents. Inspired in four dimensions commonly postulated by appraisal theories of emotions, we construct a set of reward features to guide the learning process and behavior of a reinforcement learning (RL) agent inhabiting an environment of which it has only limited perception. Much like what occ...
