Emergent behaviors in simulations require explanation, so that valid behaviors can be separated from design or coding errors. Validation of emergent behavior requires accumulation...
We present a probabilistic model, based on Dynamic Decision Networks, to assess user affect from possible causes of emotional arousal. The model relies on the OCC cognitive theory...
This paper presents a Hierarchical Context Hidden Markov Model (HC-HMM) for behavior understanding from video streams in a nursing center. The proposed HC-HMM infers elderly behav...
This work presents an image analysis framework driven by emerging evidence and constrained by the semantics expressed in an ontology. Human perception, apart from visual stimulus a...
Basically, instrumental conditioning is learning through consequences: Behavior that produces positive results (high “instrumental response”) is reinforced, and that which pro...
