I present aspects of an analytical model of collaboration processes, focusing on types of dialogical thinking and their relations with the interactive circulation and regulation of affect. Types of dialogical thinking are extensional, accumulative, foundational thinking, together with interactive meaning-making. Their occurrences in argumentation dialogue are discussed in relation to affect.

The paper focuses on extracting and fusing visual feature information to discern targets much like a human fuses visual, auditory, and somatosensory data. Extraction of features is performed using a Pulse Coupled Neural Network to simulate visual-cortex processing of linking related-feature information. The feature-based biological sensor fusion approach extracts features from images, associate...

Very strongly tied to the feature place has been the feature race, so mu...

This paper takes on the task of providing a formal system of dialogue CE in which the speech acts of requesting and providing an explanation are represented as dialogue moves in the system. CE has opening rules, locution rules, dialogue rules, success rules and closing rules. The system is meant to be simple and basic, to provide a platform for developing more specialized formal dialogue system...

Recent research has shown that virtual agent able to express empathic emotions enhances human-machine interaction. In this paper, we present the capabilities that virtual agent should have to be empathic toward a user. Moreover, we propose a computational representation of emotions which may be experienced by a user during a human-machine dialog. This semantically grounded formal representation...
