Demand for and delivery so far of sophisticated computational instruments able to
recognize, process and store relevant interactional signals, as well as interact with people …

There is much interest in rule extraction from neural networks and a plethora of different
methods have been proposed for this purpose. We discuss the merits of pedagogical and …

Human beings seem to be able to recognize emotions from speech very well and
information communication technology aims to implement machines and agents that can do …

The present work reports the results of perceptual experiments aimed to investigate if some
of the basic emotions are perceptually privileged and if the cultural environment and the …

In the present work a cross-modal evaluation of the visual and auditory channels in
conveying emotional information is conducted through perceptual experiments aimed at …

In face-to-face communication, the emotional state of the speaker is transmitted to the
listener through a synthetic process that involves both the verbal and thenonverbal …

We revise the notion of confidence with which we estimate the parameters of a given
distribution law in terms of their compatibility with the sample we have observed. This is a …

We discuss a procedure which extracts statistical and entropic information from data in order
to discover Boolean rules underlying them. We work within a granular computing framework …

We devise a feature selection method in terms of a follow-out utility of a special classification
procedure. In turn, we root the latter on binary features which we extract from the input …

We introduce a wait-and-chase scheme that models the contact times between moving
agents within a connectionist construct. The idea that elementary processors move within a …
