Video of my talk at Murcia University

Last november 19th 2014 I had a talk at the Murcia University titled "Entropic Emotional Intelligence for video games".

The talk is in spanish and surely it is difficult to follow for any foreign, my spanish is a little "local", but I will try to subtitle it into english sooner than later, so come back if you missed it.

The intelligence I present here is exactly the one being discussed on the already ongoing paper, except for a nice addition for negative feelings introduced later on the paper, what I call "relativized feelings" that is still not covered in this blog... I am becoming lazy!

Remember you have the slides, both in spanish and english, at the download page.

News from the front

Before saying actually nothing, and just to show something in the post, I will show some of the drawings I am preparing for the paper:

In this case, the drawing is a little obsolete -code is still changing its shape- and I need to re-draw it.

A Talk on Emotional Intelligence

Yesterday I presented the "Entropic Emotional Intelligence" model in a long (2h!) talk at the Computer Science faculty, Murcia University, as a way to add intelligence to video game players:
 

In about one week there will be an official video (in spanish) in the university tv site, that I will upload to youtube so I can subtitle it to english.

The slides in spanish and english are available at the blog's download page.

In the meanwhile, the paper I am working on is getting slowly to the finish line. I can't really publish it on any journal because they only accept 30 pages or less articles, not +100 pages, so I will publish it directly in ArXiv.

Is it the Terminator AI?

Most of the people I talk about this magic algortihm use to bring into the conversation the terminator that using a powerfull artificial intelligence decided to destroy the humans. Scaring.

It has been something that has really preocupated in the process, really, I don't want to help create a perfect weapon anymore than you would do!.

Busy writting

I consider the algortihm of the "Entropic Emotional Intelligence" almost fully completed, not in this blog, but in my mind. I still will need some months to put all the ideas on the code and test it in its finished form. I have great expectations, but I think it will take a lot of CPU!

In the process of building the general version of the algortihm, I am also writting a complete academic paper detailing the algortihm with a more technicall aproach than I can follow in this blog.

It will keep me busy for some monts, but after that time, I promise to add it to arXiv inmediately.

Ah! I also found the idea for my next algortihm: is about consciousness...

Uncertainty

If the algorithm wants to be generally usable, it must be able to gracefully deal with uncertainty.

Gain feelings

This is the 6th -and last- post about "Emotional Intelligence", please visit the Introducing Emotional Intelligence, goal-less intelligence, enjoy feelings, fear feelings and mood feelings before you go on reading for a proper introduction on the subject.

Introduction

To end the enumeration of the three basic feelings associated with a goal, we need to deal with gains and looses, and their proper feeling representation.

Gain or Loose feelings

When something you had at the initial state, like your health level, is higer or lower in the final state representing the end point of the future, it means you have gained or lost something.
