“…This chapter addresses the problem of automatic parameterization of SCCM and SCP that were presented in previous chapters of the thesis, as published in [KTT16a) . Both psychology [MS95, CS99] and developments in the behavior simulation [KTT13,Neu08) suggest that current personality models ig~ore and oversimplify underlying social context cognition that modulates behavior in humans.…”

Rational decision making is one deliberately aimed at the realization of well-defined goals in an environment, based on a formal representation of its state and logical deduction grounded in those representations. Conversely, non-rationality is characterized by a) informal or sub-symbolic processing instead of one based on formal representations; b) associative, habitual reactions rather than step by step deduction or optimization; c) lack of explicit goals or their link to decision making. Human species is the only one capable of consistent rationality, but the scale and gravity of human non-rationality are far greater than often suspected. Cognitive biases and other non-rational influences on key decisions occur disregarding explicit reasoning or goal realization, subconsciously and often in a certainty that they did not take place. Habitual or stereotypic deviations from rationality in human cognition are well documented as non-reducible to rational pursuit of the egoistic benefit or its occasional distortion with temporary emotional excitation.Non-rationality is also not limited to the episodic emotional deviation, but is a permanent 'design feature' of human cognition, making rationalistic 'homo economicus' approach incapable of tackling the great challenge of human behavior modeling. While social psychology has systematically addressed ~on-rationality of human cognition for decades, it is not true for computer science, as current paradigms do not sufficiently account for the non-rational character of humans. Despite its great relevance, non-rationality is not yet properly addressed in computational models of social agents.Addressing the above problem, this thesis aims to study how various types of nonrationality can be addressed, described and modeled in the most relevant computational fields. The proposed models are implemented in the agent architectures and used in specific simulations to exemplify their ability to capture non-rationality within the personality, informal human cognition of culture and context social. To this end, thesis first ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document. Nanyang Technological University Library presents an interdisciplinary overview of how human-like non-rationality is addressed in Cognitive Architectures (CA) , Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Affective Computing (AF), Social Signal Processing(SSP), discussing inter-field trends and strengths and weaknesses of the specific disciplines and approaches. Based on this, elements of a paradigm of computational non-rationality modeling are proposed. Those include abandonment of the paradigmatic simplicity of MAS and closing the socio-cultural immergenceemergence loop by MAS-CAA merger. Also, an inclusion of the specific, implicit and internal culture-generating mechanisms and 'System 1' social context processing is postulated as a basis of personality and culture related non-rationality. To realize those postulates, Social Context Cognition Model (SCCM) , inspired among others by the Dual Process Theory,...
