In Favour of Cognitive Models of Emotions

We discuss how cognitive models enable integrating recognition of the emotional state with interpretation of the reasons of this state and to reason on the potential impact of a conversational move on the mental state of the interlocutor. We propose dynamic belief network as a representation formalism for this kind of models.
