Complex environments contain more information than either natural or artificial agents can fully process in a timely manner. Studies in neuroscience have demonstrated that natural agents utilize affect (or emotion) to filter out irrelevant inputs. In this work, we propose to integrate an affect filtering mechanism in artificial agents to improve the deliberation time for action selection in environment containing a massive number of selection options. To evaluate this model, we create two agent architectures: the first architecture is based on an active reinforcement learning algorithm and the second architecture utilizes a hybrid design with both active reinforcement learning and the affect-based filtering mechanism. We have compared the deliberation time and the overall utility score of these two agents in the same environment. The results showed that the affect-based filtering mechanism is effective in decreasing the deliberation time without compromising the agent’s utility score. The results from this study strengthen the premise that affect plays an important role in intelligent behavior.

Nash equilibrium is a fundamental concept in the theory of games and the most widely used methods of predicting the outcome of a strategic interaction in the social sciences. Detecting Nash equilibria of a strategic game is not an easy work, and this is because of the continues domain of feasible results, which means there is infinite feasible results. Therefore, finding correct results by non-heuristic algorithms seems impossible. In this article, our aim is detecting Nash equilibrium by computing the global minimum of a non-negative cost function. In this regard, we employ a recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm, the Vortex Search (VS), to reach this goal. For evaluating the proposed method, several well-known strategic games are considered and the results and the algorithm efficiency are demonstrated.
