The Role of Emotion in Believable Agents

by Joseph Bates - Communications of the ACM , 1994
"... Articial intelligence researchers attempting to create engaging apparently living creatures may nd important insight in the work of artists who have explored the idea of believable character In particular appropriately timed and clearly expressed emotion is a central requirement for believable ch ..."

believe in characters whose adventures and misfortunes make people laugh and even cry There is a special ingredient in our type of animation that produces drawings that appear to think and make decisions and act of their own volition it is what creates the illusion of life Many articial intelligence

Risk as Feelings

by George F. Loewenstein, Christopher K. Hsee, Elke U. Weber, Ned Welch , 2001
"... Virtually all current theories of choice under risk or uncertainty are cognitive and consequentialist. They assume that people assess the desirability and likelihood of possible outcomes of choice alternatives and integrate this information through some type of expectation-based calculus to arrive a ..."

at a decision. The authors propose an alternative theoretical perspective, the risk-as-feelings hypothesis, that highlights the role of affect experienced at the moment of decision making. Drawing on research from clinical, physiological, and other subfields of psychology, they show that emotional

Affective Computing

by R. W. Picard , 1995
"... Recent neurological studies indicate that the role of emotion in human cognition is essential; emotions are not a luxury. Instead, emotions play a critical role in rational decision-making, in perception, in human interaction, and in human intelligence. These facts, combined with abilities computers ..."

Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

by Gio Wiederhold - IEEE COMPUTER , 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

software we will gain access to more data, but not improve access to the type and quality of information needed for decision making. To develop the concepts needed for future information systems we model information processing as an interaction of data and knowledge. This model provides criteria for a high

Investing for the long run when returns are predictable

by Nicholas Barberis - Journal of Finance , 2000
"... We examine how the evidence of predictability in asset returns affects optimal portfolio choice for investors with long horizons. Particular attention is paid to estimation risk, or uncertainty about the true values of model parameters. We find that even after incorporating parameter uncertainty, th ..."

ONE OF THE MORE STRIKING EMPIRICAL FINDINGS in recent financial research is the evidence of predictability in asset returns. 1 In this paper we examine the implications of this predictability for an investor seeking to make sensible portfolio allocation decisions

The robust beauty of improper linear models in decision making

by Robyn M. Dawes - American Psychologist , 1979
"... ABSTRACT: Proper linear models are those in which predictor variables are given weights in such a way that the resulting linear composite optimally predicts some criterion of interest; examples of proper linear models are standard regression analysis, discriminant function analysis, and ridge regres ..."

variables, proper linear models outperform clinical intuition. Improper linear models are those in which the weights of the predictor variables are obtained by some nonoptimal method; for example, they may be obtained on the basis of intuition, derived from simulating a clinical judge's predictions

Cities and the creative class.

by Richard Florida , Richard Florida , H John Heinz - City and Community, , 2003
"... Cities and regions have long captured the imagination of sociologists, economists, and urbanists. From Alfred Marshall to Robert Park and Jane Jacobs, cities have been seen as cauldrons of diversity and difference and as fonts for creativity and innovation. Yet until recently, social scientists con ..."

concerned with regional growth and development have focused mainly on the role of firms in cities, and particularly on how these firms make location decisions and to what extent they concentrate together in agglomerations or clusters. This short article summarizes recent advances in our thinking about

Different contributions of the human amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex to decision-making.

by Antoine Bechara , Hanna Damasio , Antonio R Damasio , Gregory P Lee - J. Neurosci. , 1999
"... The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that decision-making is a process that depends on emotion. Studies have shown that damage of the ventromedial prefrontal (VMF) cortex precludes the ability to use somatic (emotional) signals that are necessary for guiding decisions in the advantageous directio ..."

direction. However, given the role of the amygdala in emotional processing, we asked whether amygdala damage also would interfere with decision-making. Furthermore, we asked whether there might be a difference between the roles that the amygdala and VMF cortex play in decision-making. To address these two

Multicriteria Optimization

by Matthias Ehrgott , 2005
"... n Using some real-world examples I illustrate the important role of multiobjective optimization in decision making and its interface with preference handling. I explain what optimization in the presence of multiple objectives means and discuss some of the most common methods of solving multiobjectiv ..."

CP-nets: A Tool for Representing and Reasoning with Conditional Ceteris Paribus Preference Statements

by Craig Boutilier, Ronen I. Brafman, Carmel Domshlak, Holger H. Hoos, David Poole - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 2004
"... Information about user preferences plays a key role in automated decision making. In many domains it is desirable to assess such preferences in a qualitative rather than quantitative way. In this paper, we propose a qualitative graphical representation of preferences that reflects conditional dep ..."
