Character computing

<p>Character computing is a trans-disciplinary field of research at the intersection of <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a> and <a href="/facts/Psychology/duoqW7Sz">psychology</a>. It is any computing that incorporates the human character within its context. Character is defined as all features or characteristics defining an individual and guiding their <a href="/facts/Behavior/0Y1VqmVX">behavior</a> in a specific situation. It consists of stable trait markers (e.g., <a href="/facts/Personality/zdkhBU5V">personality</a>, background, history, socio-economic embeddings, <a href="/facts/Culture/c5JgMqpX">culture</a>,...) and variable state markers (<a href="/facts/Emotion/kvAr22wa">emotions</a>, <a href="/facts/Health/yzPVrjTs">health</a>, <a href="/facts/Cognitive_state/sHsDj380">cognitive state</a>, ...). Character computing aims at providing a holistic psychologically driven model of human behavior. It models and predicts behavior based on the relationships between a situation and character. Three main research modules fall under the umbrella of character computing: character sensing and profiling, character-aware adaptive systems, and artificial characters.
