A pragmatic emotional model is one of obligatory subjects for building a humanoid computer. This paper presents a conception of a Mental State Transition Network Model using psychological research for reference [1]. The ongoing work proposes a novel approach to detect human emotions. According to Pluchik’s basic emotional classification, we defined nine basic emotional states and carried out a ...

Social norms are communally agreed upon, morally significant behavioral standards that are, at least in part, responsible for uniquely human forms of cooperation and social organization. This paper summarizes evidence demonstrating that ritual and ritualized behaviors are essential to the transmission and reinforcement of social norms. Ritualized behaviors reliably signal an intentional mental ...

Model-based Bayesian reinforcement learning provides an elegant way of incorporating model uncertainty for trading off between exploration and exploitation. We propose an extension of modelbased Bayesian RL to continuous state spaces. The key feature of our approach is its search through the space of model structures, thus adapting not only the model parameters but also the structure itself to ...

We investigate the systematic variation of the [OII]λ3727/Hα flux line ratio as a function of various galaxy properties, i.e., luminosity, metallicity, reddening, and excitation state, for a sample of 1 124 emission-line galaxies, with a mean redshift z ∼ 0.06, drawn from the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. The mean observed and extinction-corrected emission-line flux ratios agree well...

Reinforcement learning is an attractive method of machine learning. However, as the state space of a given problem increases, reinforcement learning becomes increasingly inefficient. Hierarchical reinforcement learning is one method of increasing the efficiency of reinforcement learning. It involves breaking the overall goal of a problem into a hierarchy subgoals, and then attempting to achieve...

Patrolling the mind’s boundaries Abstract: Defenders of the extended mind thesis say that it is possible that some of our mental states may be constituted, in part, by states of the extrabodily environment. Often they also add that such extended mentation is a commonplace phenomenon. I argue that extended mentation, while not impossible, is either nonexistent or far from widespread. Genuine bel...
