A generic self-learning emotional framework for machines by Alberto Hernández-Marcos, Eduardo Ros

“…As a result, they often rely on case-specific solutions and arbitrary or hard-coded models that fail to generalize well to other agents and tasks. Here we propose that emotions correspond to distinct temporal patterns perceived in crucial values for living beings in their environment (like recent rewards, expected future rewards or anticipated world states) and introduce a fully self-learning emotional framework for Artificial Intelligence agents convincingly associating them with documented natural emotions. …”
