• Abstract: Positive thinking is thought to be an important component of self-motivation in various practical fields such as education and the workplace. Previous work, including sentiment transfer and positive reframing, has focused on the positive side of language. However, self-motivation that drives people to reach their goals has not yet been studied from a computational perspective. Moreover, negative feedback has not yet been explored, even though positive and negative feedback are both necessary to grow self-motivation. To facilitate self-motivation, we propose CArrot and STICk (CASTIC) dataset, consisting of 12,590 sentences with 5 different strategies for enhancing self-motivation. Our data and code are publicly available at here.

  This study aims to investigate the positive and negative psychological consequences of feedback mechanisms on users' behaviour and well-being. Data-driven feedback loops deliver not only motivational benefits but also psychological challenges. To mitigate these risks, users should establish boundaries regarding their use of technology to prevent burnout and addiction.

  We focus on a commonly used game element, goal setting, through the lens of self-determination theory and goal-setting theory. One hundred two participants completed a repetitive material-handling task in one of three conditions. Results showed that perceived autonomy (autonomous motivation) and performance were best when goals were self-set. Engagement, however, was equal between self-set and assigned goals.

  Emotional support conversation (ESC) aims to provide emotional support (ES) to improve one's mental state. Existing works stay at fitting grounded responses and responding strategies which ignore the effect on ES and lack explicit goals to guide emotional positive transition. We introduce a new paradigm to formalize multi-turn ESC as a process of positive emotion elicitation.

• Mutual Information State Intrinsic Control [91.38627985733068]
  Intrinsically motivated RL attempts to remove this constraint by defining an intrinsic reward function. Motivated by the self-consciousness concept in psychology, we make a natural assumption that the agent knows what constitutes itself. We mathematically formalize this reward as the mutual information between the agent state and the surrounding state.

  We study the role of intrinsic motivation as an exploration bias for reinforcement learning in sparse-reward synergistic tasks. Our key idea is that a good guiding principle for intrinsic motivation in synergistic tasks is to take actions which affect the world in ways that would not be achieved if the agents were acting on their own.

  In reinforcement learning, an agent learns to reach a set of goals by means of an external reward signal. In the natural world, intelligent organisms learn from internal drives, bypassing the need for external signals. We propose to formulate an intrinsic objective as the mutual information between the goal states and the controllable states.
