Most current XQuery implementations require that all XML data reside in memory in one form or another before they start processing the data. This is unacceptable for large XML documents. The only event-based techniques that do not require the materialization of all data in memory are based on transducers. Transducers use SAX events to evaluate XPath queries using finite state machines. SAX allo...

In this paper we present a mapping between joy, distress, hope and fear, and Reinforcement Learning primitives. Joy / distress is a signal that is derived from the RL update signal, while hope/fear is derived from the utility of the current state. Agent-based simulation experiments replicate psychological and behavioral dynamics of emotion including: joy and distress reactions that develop prio...

The stimulus m...

Aesthetic perception and judgement are not merely cognitive processes, but also involve feelings. Therefore, the empirical study of these experiences requires conceptualization and measurement of aesthetic emotions.
