Happy Silver Anniversary, Artificial Intelligence! Twenty five years is not long in the history of a science---long enough to achieve, short enough to remember. Your esteemed founders are still around---vigorous, not so young anymore. Out of cybernetics YOU came, and information-theoretic psychology. You were born in the early days of modern computing, on hot, bulky hardware with names few now ...

The doubly circular relations of the major and minor keys based on all twelve pitchclasses can be depicted in toroidal models. We demonstrate a convergence of derivations from the different bases of conventional harmonic theory and recent experiments in music psychology. We present a formalization of the music-theoretical derivation from Gottfried Weber’s 1817 chart of tone-centers by using a t...

Online interactions are often based on trust, the sharing of information and a degree of interdependence, as found with many offline relationships. The recent events at companies such as TalkTalk and Ashley Madison are the latest in a series of high profile cybersecurity incidents that demonstrate what happens when this trust relationship is breached. Despite the common media depiction, inciden...

This paper describes affective and psychophysiological foundations used to help to control affective content in music production. Our work includes the proposal of a knowledge base grounded on the state of the art done in areas of Music Psychology. This knowledge base has relations between affective states (happiness, sadness, etc.) and high level music features (rhythm, melody, etc.) to assist...

This study examined levels of technophobia in a sample of 176 South African university students enrolled in ®rst-year computing and psychology courses. Technophobia, which is described as negative psychological reactions towards technology, was assessed using Rosen and Weil's Measuring Technophobia instruments. The levels of technophobia were correlated with each of the ®ve dimensions (neurotic...

We develop a method for computing policies in Markov decision processes with risk-sensitive measures subject to temporal logic constraints. Specifically, we use a particular risk-sensitive measure from cumulative prospect theory, which has been previously adopted in psychology and economics. The nonlinear transformation of the probabilities and utility functions yields a nonlinear programming p...

This paper proposes a model which aim is providing a more coherent framework for agents design. We identify three closely related anthropo-centered domains working on separate functional levels. Abstracting from human physiology, psychology, and philosophy we create the P 3 model to be used as a multi-tier approach to deal with complex class of problems. The three layers identified in this mode...

The resounding success of computers has often led to some common misconceptions about “computer science” — namely that it is simply a technological endeavor driven by a search for better physical material and devices that can be used to build smaller, faster, computers. Without trivializing this important quest, this article would like to highlight the complementary science behind computing: na...

expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. collabor...
