- An individual is an entity that is constantly changing (having different emotions, moods,
- etc.). So, when we speak of an individual, we always refer to it relative to a time t. The moment that the individual starts existing is defined by t = 0. The abstract entity that represents the individual at a time t we will call It from now on. In the simple case, an individual
- has a personality and an emotional state (we do not yet take mood into consideration). The
- model based on this assumption is called PE. In our framework, the personality is constant
- and initialized with a set of values on t = 0. The emotional state is dynamic and it is initialized to 0 at t = 0 (we will go in more detail about this later on). Thus we define It
- as
- a tuple (p, et), where p represents the personality and et represents the emotional state at
- time t. In our example, Julie will portray emotions (that change over time) based on what
- happens, but how she obtains these emotions and the behaviour that results from it, depends
- on a static part of her being, the personality.
- From psychology research, there are many personality models that consist of a set of dimensions, where every dimension is a specific property of the personality. Take for example
- the OCEAN model [3], which has five dimensions (see Table 2) or the PEN model [2] that
- has three dimensions.
- Generalizing from these theories, we assume that a personality has n dimensions, where
- each dimension is represented by a value in the interval [0, 1]. A value of 0 corresponds
- to an absence of the dimension in the personality; a value of 1 corresponds to a maximum
- presence of the dimension in the personality. The personality p of an individual can then be
- represented by the following vector:

- , ∀i ∈ [1, n] : αi ∈ [0, 1] (1)
- As an example, we can specify an OCEAN personality (thus n = 5) that is very open, very
- extravert but not very conscientious, quite agreeable and not very neurotic:

- Emotional state has a similar structure as personality. The emotional state is a set of
- emotions with a certain intensity. The size of this set depends on the theory that is used.
- For example, in the OCC model, 22 emotions are defined, while Ekman [17] defines 6 that
- are used as a basis for facial expression classification. The emotional state is something
- that can change over time (for example due to a decay factor). Therefore, when we speak
- about an emotional state, we speak of it relative to a time t. We define the emotional state
- e
- t
- as an m-dimensional vector, where all m emotion intensities are represented by a value
- in the interval [0, 1]. A value of 0 corresponds to an absence of the emotion; a value of 1
- corresponds to a maximum intensity of the emotion. This vector is given as follows:

- i ∈ [0, 1] if t > 0
- 0 if t = 0

- Furthermore, we define an emotional state history ωt
- that contains all emotional states
- until e
- t
- , thus:
- ωt = he
- 0

- 1

- t

- An extended version of the PE model can be given by including mood (we will call this
- the PME model). As such, we now define the individual I
- t
- as a triple (p, m
- t
- , e
- t
- ), where mt
- represents the mood at a time t. Mood has never been as deeply researched and accepted as
- the notions of personality and emotional state and therefore its definition can be a bit tricky
- (which is why we omitted it from the basic framework). Mood is less static than personality
- and less fluent than emotional state [10]. It is an intermediate form that exists between the
- two and that describes a rather static state of being that lasts longer than the average emotion
- (see also Figure 2). This state of being can be one-dimensional (being in a good or a bad
- mood) or perhaps multi-dimensional (feeling in love, feeling depressed).
- Whether or not it is justified from a psychological perspective to have a multi-dimensional
- mood is not in the scope of this paper. However, we will provide for a possibility of having
- 9
- multiple mood dimensions, since it is more general, so one can choose how many dimensions mood actually has. We define a mood dimension as a value that is either negative or
- positive and that lies in the interval [−1, 1]. Supposing that there are k mood dimensions,
- the mood can be described by a vector:
- mt =

- Just like for the emotional state, there is also a history of mood, σ
- t

- moods m0
