1/6 Dear Colleagues from Computer Science, HCI & Artificial Intelligence, let me present a preprint with my colleague @shihonghuang . "Emotionally-Informed Decisions: Bringing Gut's Feelings into Self-adaptive and Co-adaptive Software Systems" at arxiv.org/abs/2110.01503 #emotions

2/6 My software engineer colleague @shihonghuang and I reflected on the enormous parallelisms between the cognitive aids that are software systems and human cognition, in particular decision-making and emotion. It led us to conceptualize a software system with gut's feeling.

3/6 In a section aimed at Computer Scientists, we reviewed the neurobiological and behavioral basis of #DecisionMaking. We examined factors that affect it, in particular uncertainty, risk, time and emotion.

4/6 We moved to a discussion of task-related & task-independent emotional processes in temporal perspective. We then reviewed the many ways by which emotion affect decision making. And the specific decisional processes they interact with.

5/6 To finish, we draw on symmetries between natural and artificial cognitive systems to propose self-adaptive architectures with human-in-the-loop and co-adaptive software architectures where humans and software systems harmoniously interact.

6/6 This work draws inspiration from the seminal paper by Licklider predicting a future man-computer symbiosis. Thanks for reading us. For now, we are at arxiv.org/abs/2110.01503 #adaptability #uncertainty #humanCognition #machineIntelligence #emotions #HCI
