An evaluation of the COR-E computational model for affective behaviors
Pages 745 - 752
Abstract
The simulation of believable behaviors for virtual agents requires to take human factors such as emotions into account. Most computational models dealing with this issue include emotion categories in their architecture. However, determining categories to use and their influence on behavior is a difficult task. In order to address this challenge, our COR-E model uses an architecture without emotion categories. In this paper, we present an evaluation of this model in the context of a waiting line scenario. We show that COR-E can produce believable emotional behaviors, and test the contributions of the various components and characteristics of its architecture to these positive results.

Evaluation of an affective model: COR-E
IVA'12: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsIn this paper, we present an evaluation of the affective model COR-E. This model intends to produce behaviors judged as emotional and believable ones. Emotions are seen as an emergent phenomenon, they are not encoded in the model. Our results show that ...
Affective guidance of intelligent agents: How emotion controls cognition
How do emotions and moods color cognition? In this article, we examine how such reactions influence both judgments and cognitive performance. We argue that many affective influences are due, not to affective reactions themselves, but to the information ...
The communicative role of non-face emojis
Emojis have evolved from imitations of facial expressions meant to communicate affect into pictures of objects, food, and places that are not directly linked to affect. While emojis that resemble facial expressions are well-researched, emojis that ...
