This research involves the construction of a series of                     computational models of common-sense reasoning about emotion-related            phenomena.  Computer programs capable of making inferences,                     constructing explanations, and learning about cognitive causes of               emotions will be constructed.  These computer models will be based              on a theory of emotion that describes when emotions might arise,                why, and what their likely consequences are.  The principal                     investigator will develop an AI system that can reason about                    motivation and generate plausible explanations about emotion-                   relevant phenomena.  The system will be validated by comparing the              explanations it produces with explanations created by people and by             having people evaluate the plausibility and coherence of the                    automatically constructed explanations.
