A Computational Model of Surprise
نویسنده
چکیده
The computation of surprise is one factor necessary for the computational detection of creativity in product design. An original computational model of surprise is proposed. A demonstration program was written to demonstrate the model’s validity. An experiment on human subjects was performed to test the program’s accuracy. The results of the experiment are analyzed, the model is assessed, and conclusions are made. This work is a promising start toward the goal of a practical computational surprise detector.

Creativity and Surprise
This paper describes a computational model for creativity in which surprise plays a central role. There is no doubt that creative products, being unexpected and unpredictable products, cause surprise. In order to make those products surprising and supported by recent evidences from neuroscience, which say emotions are biasing devices in decision-making, we defend that decisions made during the ...
متن کاملModeling Forms of Surprise in an Artificial Agent
Mainly rooted in the cognitive-psychoevolutionary model of surprise proposed by the research group of the University of Bielefeld (Meyer, Reisenzein, Schützwohl, etc.), the computational model of surprise described in this paper relies on the assumption that surprise-eliciting events initiate a series of mental processes that begin with the appraisal of unexpectedness, continue with the interru...
متن کاملModeling Forms of Surprise in Artificial Agents: Empirical and Theoretical Study of Surprise Functions
This paper addresses the issue of how to compute the intensity of surprise in an artificial agent. Resolution of this issue is important for the further specification of the computational model of surprise proposed by Macedo and Cardoso (2001) that was implemented in artificial agents “living” in a multiagent environment. This model of surprise is mainly rooted in the cognitive-psychoevolutiona...
متن کاملA Cognitive Model of Surprise Judgements
In this paper we outline a cognitive theory and model of surprise judgements which aims to explain how and why some events are considered to be surprising in a piece of text , while others are not. The model is based on a series of experiments carried out by Grimes -Maguire and Keane (2005a), which show that subtle changes in the predictability of a discourse can have a profound effect on a rea...
متن کاملBayesian surprise attracts human attention
We propose a formal Bayesian definition of surprise to capture subjective aspects of sensory information. Surprise measures how data affects an observer, in terms of differences between posterior and prior beliefs about the world. Only data observations which substantially affect the observer's beliefs yield surprise, irrespectively of how rare or informative in Shannon's sense these observatio...
