Abstract: This talk contributes in presenting an outline of Virtual Miyazawa Kenji (MK) systems to realize the cognitive interaction between human user and Kenji Virtual system which realizes, factorizes and conceptualizes the virtual reasoning of famous Japanese story writer namely Miyazawa Kenji. Here we are outlining the system parts and explain the main concept on its building. We have also presented an outline of Kenji Style definition that reflect the cognitive behavior of Kenji interaction with human user based on Kenji scripts analysis. The analysis is been experimentally and analytically studied.
This plenary Lecture; through the cases study outlined above; is high light on the importance of human nature collective behavior on intelligent interaction between man and machine. We have investigated on different disciplinary, (philosophical, physiological, cultural, physiognomy, and technical) views that collectively reflect the behavioral reasoning of human emotional feature interaction with machines ( i.e., computer), this is essential to have mutual effective engagement between human and machine based on observing and examining the user from different views that related to emotional behavior of the user. The system will be sensitive to emotional collected attributes that through integrated conceptual views, representing these attributes, we can be able grasp the emotional transition state of user engagement.
I will explain the blending concepts (Conceptual Integration) framework for such conceptual integration, that been used to produce cognitive integration.
I will explain the four part of our Kenji Project system.
The 1st part is to create a hologram that produce emotional character of a certain human defined personality, we use in this experiment Miyazawa Kenji, the system will produce generated animated face emotionally talk and act to show its body of knowledge with emotional features that reflected (extracted) from the contexts of these body of languages.
The 2nd part reflects the interaction of user emotional engagement states, by observing the user mental transition states (i.e., trace), that been recorded and analyzed by Active Appearance model system.
The 3rd part is related to the voice reasoning, to produce with emotion a voice reflecting the context in hand, and to recognize as it heard from the observed user.
The 4th part is to produce the synthesis of the scenario that make the user and system been actively engaged.
This experiment is to bring highlights on the necessity of bringing human user been interacting with the computer system based on the user mental status and their emotional harmony with the flow of knowledge that been produced by computer system.
I will present these issues in the lecture. This lecture is to bring into the audience the needs for such way of metaphoric thinking to bring user emotional status view to be part of the design views that to be integrated with other parts of the system.
