Computational models of affect and fuzzy logic

Abstract

In light of recent research and empirical findings a new view on emotion and affect has surfaced. Within this view 'feeling' (core affect) is separated from 'emotion' (psychological construction). This model appears to be a good candidate for a compu-tation model of affect and emotion. We argue that fuzzy logic is the perfect tool for its implementation, for the modeling of core affect dynamics, the lin-guistic description of emotions, the description of a cognitive rule base, as well as the mapping between the core affect level and the cognitive level. © 2011.
