This document summarizes a class on human perspective in artificial intelligence taught by Professor José Meléndez. It includes an overview of the day's topics on emotions, a required reading list, and a discussion on modeling emotions from both traditional and modern perspectives. The class focuses on integrating human factors like emotions into AI systems rather than thinking of emotions and logic as separate.
Original Title: Diversity - How and Why?
Event: TechTrends18 Berlin
Martina is a UX Psychologist, Strategist and Designer, who was invited to give her opinion to the whole Diversity debate, by being given the opportunity by @Talent to explore a new topic - something away from her usual UX-presentations. Being a psychologist she changes the perspective to ourselves, by emphasising, that a healthy approach to difficult people, topics and emotions should be what we strive for, to achieve real diversity. But she also points, that it is not possible for everyone to do something, as not everyone has the same chances. Hence it is important to stand up and live up to our good intentions.

How mindset affects our achievement potentialJohn Loty
An exploration (appreciative inquiry) into how or whether various methodologies that consider so called. "negatives" might be blended into a "strengths-based" approach to change and performance improvement.
This presentation was created to bring insights from neurobiology and psychology (interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and trauma theories in particular) to brand strategists and innovators striving for meaningful, respectful, and honoring interactions with consumers. It draws largely from the work of Daniel Siegel, renowned founder of interpersonal neurobiology, and takes a postmodern stance.
Play with the Power of Emotions in DesignYasmin Borain
We live in a world where we want to feel again!
Emotional design has been around for decades but surprisingly only targets emotions in a one-dimensional way. For us to design 'moments that matter and last' we need to experiment with an emotional lens that is multi-layered. This requires bravery and creative thinking.
Together we will explore how to build connections between people, brands & society beyond behaviours and needs. Designing delightful moments is one thing, but after a while the novelty wears off. Let’s use Emotional Design to embrace the change we are facing today and make the world a better place through creativity tomorrow.
We’ll explore how to ...
• Navigate and design for all emotions
• Move from functional to emphatic interactions
• Layer emotions into Design Thinking

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. French Toast
• A friend visiting from Germany staying at our house asked on a Saturday
night if I would make “my French toast” for breakfast on the Sunday
morning.
• I woke up early at 6AM from a nightmare involving someone who did
horrible things to me when I was a child.
• I decide to have an early start for the day with an aim of creating the
HPAI class slides for that day’s class.
• My wife woke up a few minutes later and wanted to spend some time
together and we chatted for a while.
• At 7AM I went downstairs and began making coffee.
• When my guest greeted me I asked her if she and her husband would
like still for me to make the French toast.
• She said they would very much like that.
7. French Toast
• She joined me in the kitchen and asked me if I would be using whole eggs
for the French toast.
• I told her normally that in my recipe I use egg whites because the yolk has
the cholesterol and most of the calories.
• She asked if I would put sugar in the mix.
• She said she prefers milk in the mix too.
• And…Sugar in the pan
• I asked my spouse if she would like the French toast or for me to make us
harina de maíz.
• In the end I chose to make harina de maíz for my spouse and myself.
• Our guest thanked me for the French toast and commented on how good
they were.
• I told them that the credit goes to her because it was her recipe that was
used.

24. Science of Emotion – Traditional View
• Emotions characterized by attributes:
• Something that “happens to” you
• “Flavors”: Positive, Negative, Neutral
• Eliciting or intentional object (aboutness)
• Enable pursuit of goals (serve function)
• Inhibit pursuit of goals
• Multi-component response
• Subjective (what it feels like)
• Body aspects (physiological including brain)
• Outward display of behavior
25. Science of Emotion – Construction
• Emotions characterized by attributes:
• Something that “happens to” you construct.
• Affect “Flavors”: Positive, Negative, Neutral
• Eliciting or intentional object (aboutness)
• Enable pursuit of goals (serve function)
• Inhibit pursuit of goals
• Multi-component response
• Subjective (what it feels like)
• Body aspects (physiological including brain)
• Outward display of behavior is not a signature or “finger print”
• Thoughts/Cognition
26. Emotion “Classification” – Traditional View
• Basic/Discrete
• Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Anger and Disgust
• Plus more “complex” emotion concept words
• Affective Circumplex
• Two Dimensional “State” (static - not time dependent)
• Valence (pleasant/unpleasant)
• Arousal (agitation/calmness)
• Primary classification systems limited to discrete or
steady-state responses.
• Akin to classifying your thoughts
• “Classification” of emotion is square peg in round hole
28. Affective Circumplex
• Flawed model of limited utility for Emotion Implementation
• Transforms diverse subjective concepts into subjective and
arbitrary dimensions (recall Feldman’s tribal studies)
• Requires to label emotions as good (pleasant) or bad
(unpleasant)
• Does not capture emotional space as continuous
• Creates false non-subjective, quantitative sense
• ”Low Arousal” is arbitrarily large negative quantity and not
approximately zero!!
