• Title: Emotions as abstract evaluation criteria in biological and artificial intelligences
• Authors: Claudius Gros
• Abstract summary: We propose a framework which mimics emotions on a functional level. Based on time allocation via emotional stationarity (TAES), emotions are implemented as abstract criteria. The long-term goal of the agent, to align experience with character, is achieved by optimizing the frequency for selecting individual tasks.

• Abstract: Biological as well as advanced artificial intelligences (AIs) need to decide which goals to pursue. We review nature's solution to the time allocation problem, which is based on a continuously readjusted categorical weighting mechanism we experience introspectively as emotions. One observes phylogenetically that the available number of emotional states increases hand in hand with the cognitive capabilities of animals and that raising levels of intelligence entail ever larger sets of behavioral options. Our ability to experience a multitude of potentially conflicting feelings is in this view not a leftover of a more primitive heritage, but a generic mechanism for attributing values to behavioral options that can not be specified at birth. In this view, emotions are essential for understanding the mind. For concreteness, we propose and discuss a framework which mimics emotions on a functional level. Based on time allocation via emotional stationarity (TAES), emotions are implemented as abstract criteria, such as satisfaction, challenge and boredom, which serve to evaluate activities that have been carried out. The resulting timeline of experienced emotions is compared with the `character' of the agent, which is defined in terms of a preferred distribution of emotional states. The long-term goal of the agent, to align experience with character, is achieved by optimizing the frequency for selecting individual tasks. Upon optimization, the statistics of emotion experience becomes stationary.

  DICE-Talk is a framework for disentangling identity with emotion and cooperating emotions with similar characteristics. We develop a disentangled emotion embedder that jointly models audio-visual emotional cues through cross-modal attention. Second, we introduce a correlation-enhanced emotion conditioning module with learnable Emotion Banks. Third, we design an emotion discrimination objective that enforces affective consistency during the diffusion process.

  We argue that a classification setup for emotion analysis should be performed in an integrated manner, including the different semantic roles that participate in an emotion episode. Based on appraisal theories in psychology, we compile an English corpus of written event descriptions. The descriptions depict emotion-eliciting circumstances, and they contain mentions of people who responded emotionally.

Results show that a componential model with a limited number of descriptors is still able to predict the level of experienced discrete emotion.
