What Do You Care About: Inferring Values from Emotions

Abstract: Observers can glean information from others' emotional expressions through the act of drawing inferences from another individual's emotional expressions. It is important for socially aware artificial systems to be capable of doing that as it can facilitate social interaction among agents, and is particularly important in human-robot interaction for supporting a more personalized treatment of users. In this short paper, we propose a methodology for developing a formal model that allows agents to infer another agent's values from her emotion expressions.
