[Fis] Reply: Fis Digest, Vol 111, Issue 17

[shda1]

Dear Kate and colleagues,




I have always believed that emotions are an important topic in information theory research, but exploring emotions solely from existing psychology and information theory may not be enough. Because emotions are likely to be something deeper than our own thinking concepts, and the study of this kind of thing requires our information theory to go deeper.




That is to say, our current level of information theory research is still far from sufficient compared to emotional research, which requires us to push information theory research to a higher level. Based on this, I am willing to work together with colleagues who share the same willingness.




Chen Wang

>Minsky was one of the founders of artificial intelligence (1956), and in his influential book ?The Society of Mind? (1986) he wrote something like ?the question is not whether intelligent machines will have emotions. The question is whether a machine without emotions can be intelligent.? Later Minsky delved deeper in this topic in his book ?The Emotion Machine? (2006).

>Last century, as an undergrad, I was also interested in modeling emotions in artificial systems. Since you can have contradictions (e.g. Schadenfreude as Stu mentioned), I developed a paraconsistent extension of fuzzy logic that can handle them and them map into a consistent logic: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tendrel.binghamton.edu/unam/jlagunez/mdl/mdlemotions.html__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RtBPUORFNxQjYRK8qFMPhqpNYfdL_fX1x23yvdd4mKxSNXZ7KQHkNwUr6wfNxW26vW4icQxXYL8iyogCqII$

>Georgina Res?ndiz-Benhumea is one of my PhD students. She has been working on bringing together the social and affective aspects of cognition from an enactive perspective.
