• Doctor, lawyer– Role

Goal -Themes relationships

• Recurring (irregular intervals)

• Periodic (regular intervals)

• One-Shot: Occurring once in a while

• Evolutionary: Change the status of themes in a positive or negative way

• Permanent: Maintenance and Prevention of themes

Other Goal Attributes

• Goal’s Current Status– Suspended, Active, Pursuing

• Goal’s History (Domeshak thesis)– Nonexistent: doesn’t exist as yet (no history)– Effortless: Success required little effort– Effortful: Success required quite some effort– Lapsed: Failed in the past for want of effort– Troublesome: Failed in the past even though – Dropped, Suspended, Scheduled– Reasons for dropping: Distraction by a crisis, indecision,

laziness. You get back to them quickly– Scheduled: Agent wants to carry out the goal at a particular time

– (ex: successful in enough Talking to become friends)

not going good)

Emotion Structure –Towards (optional): They can be directed

towards another character – Char: The character x who is feeling the

emotion– Scale: The intensity level

Emotions

• Increase / Decreased according to goal progression

• Expressed:– Direct: ex: happiness => smile– Indirect: goal choice, maybe adapting goals

Perceptual State: Goal Detection/Progression

• Characters may guess each other’s goals– Ex: “Are you flirting with me?”

• Ability to detect is affected by personality traits (ex: intelligence)

• Sometimes, characters can agree to complete a goal– “… Because I like you too”.

• Can happen to any type of goal, general response based on personality traits– A sneaky personality will always try to deny.

How to Interact with the Environment

• Need knowledge of external environment to achieve some tasks

• Ex: pull up chair, grab drink, talk about dog

• How?– Instrumental scripts for interacting with

objects• Can be in mind or in object script• For complex interactions, require mental models of

environment

Personal Knowledge (Long term and short term)

• New type of mental construct? knowledge about things

• Gathered & updated from perceptions in environment

• Events in person’s history (for self / others)– Ex:

• Posessed items– Ex: holding a drink

• (Also, knowledge of inter-personal relationships.)

Goals : Recurring Goals

• Satisfaction-Hunger

• If goal Drinking is active, keep activating [Sip_Drink]

• If emotion Happy, keep activating [Whistle]

Knowledge-construct relationship( still to do)

• InterPersonal Relationship <-> Perception, Emotion

• Emotion <-> Personality traits, Perception

• Perception <-> Personality traits, Emotion

• Discussion on behavior revision/debugging/suggestions from the library

Attention

• Character progressing on multiple goals

• Fluid interaction == acting on one subject

• Perceptions can drive goal execution– This way, two characters follow similar goal

Dealing with Future

• Would characters want to imagine future reactions ?– “Would you feel bad if I joined you ?”

• Scheduling events ?– “Let’s have dinner later.”
