• Title: Free Energy in a Circumplex Model of Emotion
• Authors: Candice Pattisapu, Tim Verbelen, Riddhi J. Pitliya, Alex B. Kiefer, Mahault Albarracin,
• Abstract summary: In affective science, emotions are often represented as multi-dimensional. We propose to adopt a Circumplex Model of emotion by mapping emotions into a two-dimensional spectrum of valence and arousal. We show that the manipulation of priors and object presence results in commonsense variability in emotional states.

• Abstract: Previous active inference accounts of emotion translate fluctuations in free energy to a sense of emotion, mainly focusing on valence. However, in affective science, emotions are often represented as multi-dimensional. In this paper, we propose to adopt a Circumplex Model of emotion by mapping emotions into a two-dimensional spectrum of valence and arousal. We show how one can derive a valence and arousal signal from an agent's expected free energy, relating arousal to the entropy of posterior beliefs and valence to utility less expected utility. Under this formulation, we simulate artificial agents engaged in a search task. We show that the manipulation of priors and object presence results in commonsense variability in emotional states.

• Free energy model of emotional valence in dual-process perceptions [0.0]
  An appropriate level of arousal induces positive emotions, and a high arousal potential provokes negative emotions. We propose a novel mathematical framework of arousal potential variations in the dual process of human cognition: automatic and controlled. We formalize a transition from the automatic to the controlled process in the dual process as a change of Bayesian prior.

  Emotional voice conversion (EVC) seeks to convert the emotional state of an utterance while preserving the linguistic content and speaker identity. In this paper, we aim to explicitly characterize and control the intensity of emotion. We propose to disentangle the speaker style from linguistic content and encode the speaker style into a style embedding in a continuous space that forms the prototype of emotion embedding.

• Emotion Recognition under Consideration of the Emotion Component Process Model [9.595357496779394]
  We use the emotion component process model (CPM) by Scherer (2005) to explain emotion communication. CPM states that emotions are a coordinated process of various subcomponents, in reaction to an event, namely the subjective feeling, the cognitive appraisal, the expression, a physiological bodily reaction, and a motivational action tendency. We find that emotions on Twitter are predominantly expressed by event descriptions or subjective reports of the feeling, while in literature, authors prefer to describe what characters do, and leave the interpretation to the reader.

  We propose a well-grounded circular-structured representation to utilize the prior knowledge for visual emotion distribution learning. To be specific, we first construct an Emotion Circle to unify any emotional state within it. On the proposed Emotion Circle, each emotion distribution is represented with an emotion vector, which is defined with three attributes.
