Although higher-order rewrite systems (HRS) seem to have a first-order flavor, the direct translation into first-order rewrite systems, using e.g. explicit substitutions, is by no means trivial. In this paper, we explore a two-stage approach, by showing how higher-order pattern rewrite systems, and in fact a somewhat more general class, can be expressed by conditional first-order rewriting in t...

Emotions play a central role in most forms of natural human interaction so we may expect that computational methods for the processing and expression of emotions will play a growing role in human-computer interaction. The OCC model has established itself as the standard model for emotion synthesis. A large number of studies employed the OCC model to generate emotions for their embodied characte...

Rapid growth of technical developments has created huge challenges for microphone forensics a subcategory of audio forensic science, because of the availability of numerous digital recording devices and massive amount of recording data. Demand for fast and efficient methods to assure integrity and authenticity of information is becoming more and more important in criminal investigation nowadays...

Emotion is considered to be an important factor in human decision making and consciousness. Due to its perceived importance, recently a number of works try to explore emotion in IR tasks. However, the complexity of emotion extractors and lack of understanding on their effectiveness hinder the progress of such works. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study on the effectiveness of three emo...

Most research in the area of emotion detection in written text focused on detecting explicit expressions of emotions in text. In this paper, we present a rule-based pipeline approach for detecting implicit emotions in written text without emotion-bearing words based on the OCC Model. We have evaluated our approach on three different datasets with five emotion categories. Our results show that t...

As cell phones have become more common, personalized intelligent services in smartphones have become more highly desired. The mobile intelligent synthetic character is an example of one of these desired services. It is hard to apply an intelligent synthetic character to the smartphone environment because of its dynamismand complexity. This paper proposes amethod for generating behaviors of a sm...

In this article we describe the use of mental states approach, more specifically the BDI model, to implement the process of affective diagnosis in an educational environment. We use the psychological OCC model, which is based on the cognitive theory of emotions and is possible to be implemented computationally, in order to infer the learner’s emotions from his actions in the system interface. I...

Changes of the pore structure of recycled fibers and the strength properties of papers produced by old corrugated container (OCC) recycled fibers were studied, after they were subjected to different stock preparation and papermaking processes. In this paper, the effects of beating, sizing, pressing, and drying on fiber properties were investigated, and the porous structure of fibers was analyze...

While current virtual characters may look photorealistic they often lack behavioral complexity. Emotion may be the key ingredient to create behavioral variety, social adaptivity and thus believability. While various models of emotion have been suggested, the concrete parametrization must often be designed by the implementer. We propose to enhance an implemented affect simulator called ALMA (A L...

In this paper is proposed the integration of personality, emotion and mood aspects for a group of participants in a decision-making negotiation process. The aim is to simulate the participant behavior in that scenario. The personality is modeled through the OCEAN five-factor model of personality (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Negative emotionality). The emotion mo...
