A Millenson-based approach to emotion modelling

The issue of accurately modelling human emotions in agents has been the subject of extensive debate for some decades. This debate, complicated as it is by constant psy chological arguments about the nature of emotions and their affects on behaviour, has given rise to many different schools of thought within the greater, overarching subject of affective computing. Our work centres around a fuzzy logic system, its goal being to more accurately model the emotional state, and changes of the emotional state, through usage of a three dimensional emotion model. Within this paper we intend to outline our system for modelling emotional state and changes to emotional state. We shall include an outline of the psychological basis for our work, and discussion of basic implementation of the proposed system.
