Discrete Versus Continuous Algorithms in Dynamics of Affective Decision Making
The dynamics of affective decision making is considered for an intelligent network composed of agents with different types of memory: long-term and short-term memory. The consideration is based on probabilistic affective decision theory, which takes into account the rational utility of alternatives as well as the emotional alternative attractiveness. The objective of this paper is the comparison of two multistep operational algorithms of the intelligent network: one based on discrete dynamics and the other on continuous dynamics. By means of numerical analysis, it is shown that, depending on the network parameters, the characteristic probabilities for continuous and discrete operations can exhibit either close or drastically different behavior. Thus, depending on which algorithm is employed, either discrete or continuous, theoretical predictions can be rather different, which does not allow for a uniquely defined description of practical problems. This finding is important for understanding which of the algorithms is more appropriate for the correct analysis of decision-making tasks. A discussion is given, revealing that the discrete operation seems to be more realistic for describing intelligent networks as well as affective artificial intelligence.

Shifting Relational Paradigms for Affective Computing: Affective Resonance, Vitality Affects, and Vocal Interaction Fields
Affective computing has largely followed an individual-state paradigm, extracting discrete emotion labels or arousal/valence from isolated speakers. We argue this framing is incomplete for interaction. Drawing on affecti…
Evolutionary Dynamics in a Varying Environment: Continuous versus Discrete Noise
Environmental variations can significantly influence how populations compete for resources, and hence shape their evolution. Here, we study population dynamics subject to a fluctuating environment modeled by a varying ca…
Visual Affect Analysis: Predicting Emotions of Image Viewers with Vision-Language Models
Vision-language models (VLMs) show promise as tools for inferring affect from visual stimuli at scale; it is not yet clear how closely their outputs align with human affective ratings. We benchmarked nine VLMs, ranging f…
Emotion ClassificationAdaptive function approximation based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)
This paper studies the cosine as basis function for the approximation of univariate and continuous functions without memory. This work studies a supervised learning to obtain the approximation coefficients, instead of us…
EmoMind: Decoding Affective Captions from Human Brain fMRI
Decoding visual experience from brain activity has advanced substantially, but current brain-to-text systems largely recover semantic content while discarding affect. Additionally, language models can generate emotional …
