FEATURED PAPERS
Learning Problem Solving Skills from Demonstration: An Architectural Approach Proceedings of Artificial General Intelligence 2011 PDF	The paper presents an architectural approach to learning problem solving skills from demonstration, using internal models to represent problem-solving operational knowledge. Internal forward and inverse models are initially learned through active interaction with the environment, and then enhanced and finessed by observing expert teachers. While a single internal model is capable of solving a single goal-oriented task, it is their sequence that enables the system to hierarchically solve more complex task. Activation of models is goal-driven; internal simulations predict future rewards. In our approach intelligent system behavior emerges as a coordinated activity of internal models over time, governed by sound architectural principles. In this paper we report preliminary results using the game of Sokoban, where the aim is to learn goal-oriented patterns of model activations capable of solving the problem in various contexts.
From Constructionist to Constructivist A.I. Keynote, AAAI Fall Symposium Series: Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures 2009 PDF	Going beyond current A.I. systems requires significantly more complex integration than attempted to date, especially regarding transversal functions such as attention and learning. The development of artificial intelligence systems has to date been largely one of manual labor. This Constructionist approach to A.I. has resulted in isolated solutions to relatively small problems. Small success stories of putting these pieces together in robotics, for example, has made people optimistic that continuing on this path would lead to artificial general intelligence. This is unlikely. Standard software development methods come with serious limitations in scaling; in A.I. the Constructionist approach results in systems with limited domain application and severe performance brittleness. Genuine integration, as required for general intelligence, is practically and theoretically precluded. Replacing top-down architectural design as a major development methodology with methods focusing on self-generated code and self-organizing architectures could remove these limitations. I call this Constructivist A.I., in reference to the self-constructive principles on which such an approach would be based. Methodologies employed for Constructivist A.I. will be very different from today’s software development methods. In this paper I describe the argument in detail and examine some of the implications of this impending paradigm shift.
Towards a Neurocognitive Model of Realtime Turntaking in Face-to-Face Dialogue In I. Wachsmuth, M. Lenzen, G. Knoblich (eds.), Embodied Communication in Humans And Machines, 2008 PDF	A hybrid model of human turntaking skills is proposed that integrates features of the Ymir turntaking model (YTTM) and Augmented Competitive Queuing (ACQ) by expanding key cognitive components of the former with neural mechanisms from the latter. The model is able to learn turn taking with little or no overlap in speech and to learn “social” turn taking cues, based on observation of own and other's behavior. A key quality of the model is its highly extensible framework. In four experiments we investigate how turntaking behaviors emerge in the system and how different patterns of conversation unfold from various parameter settings. The results of simulation experiments on these neurally-implemented modules are reported and ongoing work on integrating these submodules into a more complete neural model of turntaking is described.
Integrated A.I. Systems Invited paper at The Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference: The Next 50 Years — Commemorating the 1956 Founding of AI as a Research Discipline. Minds & Machines, 17:11-25, 2007 PDF	The broad range of capabilities exhibited by humans and animals is achieved through a large set of heterogeneous, tightly integrated cognitive mechanisms. To move artificial systems closer to such general-purpose intelligence we cannot avoid replicating some subset — quite possibly a substantial portion — of this large set. Progress in this direction requires that systems integration be taken more seriously as a fundamental research problem. In this paper I make the argument that intelligence must be studied holistically. I present key issues that must be addressed in the area of integration and propose solutions for speeding up rate of progress towards more powerful, integrated A.I. systems, including (a) tools for building large, complex architectures, (b) a design methodology for building realtime A.I. systems and (c) methods for facilitating code sharing at the community level.
Natural Turn-Taking Needs No Manual: Computational Theory and Model, from Perception to Action In B. Granström, D. House, I. Karlsson (Eds.), Multimodality in Language and Speech Systems, 173-207 PDF	This chapter presents a computational model of natural turn-taking in goal-oriented, face-to-face dialogue. The model demonstrates fluent psycho-social dialogue skills in real-time interactions with human users, perceiving their multimodal actions — speech, prosody, body language, manual gesture, gaze — and generating multimodal behavior as output, including speech, facial expressions, manual gesture, spatial attention via head and eye movements, as well as manipulations in a topic domain. The first half of this chapter presents the theory of the model, formulated as a series of hypotheses. Here we look at prior research, identify the missing pieces and relate this to our computational perspective, rooted in classical and behaviorbased artificial intelligence. The theory is not an analysis of the ’turn-taking rules’ observed in human dialogue — which vary between cultures and can be separated out (our implementation leans on research in this area) — the theory and model present a turn-taking mechanism. The second half describes a model based on these hypotheses, and its implementation. The implementation has been tested with a wide range of users and shows significant promise as a first step in bridging semantic analysis, situated dialogue, discourse structure, auditory perception, computer vision, and action selection under a unifying framework. Performance examples of the prototype are given at the end of the chapter.
