I mostly understand how to teach a KR system about emotion.
What really helped was looking at the code you wrote for KM.
Seeing code that works is a hundred times better than some
design proposal & hand-waving. I still haven't finished
reading the code or the KM manuals but I will eventually.
I guess my reaction to your papers is that I don't consider
the KR part of the the project to be the most interesting part.
I know I need to do KR, but what is interesting to me is the
performance of the emotion predictor. I believe I am really
breaking new ground. I feel like I am getting better
repeatability with this model than with other models I've seen.
Even recognizing the importance of repeatability seems to be
innovative, relative to the literature I have read.
I admit that this is all subjective. As the author, I am
probably the person least trusted to make these kind of
subjective judgments. But there it is.
Given that you've authored a bunch of papers on the KR of
emotions, it seems to me that you are more interested in the KR
issues than in a particular cognitive model of emotion. Would
it be correct to say that you don't care about the cognitive
model, per se, but rather how to do a good KR? Even if this is
your perspective and interest, I think you will find that the
Aleader model is already well suited to KR. To contrast, you
had to modify and narrow Ortony to make it tractible for KR.
Furthermore, I speculate that you looked at a lot of even less
suitable cognitive models before selecting Ortony.
So whether you are interested in the KR aspect or a model
that feels good, I think the Aleader model is a good choice. ;-)
