Dreaming Machines: On multimodal fusion and information retrieval using neural-symbolic cognitive agents

Authors: Leo de Penning, Artur D'Avila Garcez, and John-Jules C. Meyer

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 35, 2013 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop

Abstract
Deep Boltzmann Machines (DBM) have been used as a computational cognitive model in various AI-related research and applications, notably in computational vision and multimodal fusion. Being regarded as a biological plausible model of the human brain, the DBM is also becoming a popular instrument to investigate various cortical processes in neuroscience. In this paper, we describe how a multimodal DBM is implemented as part of a Neural-Symbolic Cognitive Agent (NSCA) for real-time multimodal fusion and inference of streaming audio and video data. We describe how this agent can be used to simulate certain neurological mechanisms related to hallucinations and dreaming and how these mechanisms are beneficial to the integrity of the DBM. Finally, we will explain how the NSCA is used to extract multimodal information from the DBM and provide a compact and practical iconographic temporal logic formula for complex relations between visual and auditory patterns.

A Formal Model of Emotions: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Aspects

Authors: Bas R. Steunebrink, John-Jules Ch. Meyer, and Mehdi Dastani

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8361, Programming Multi-Agent Systems (2008)

Abstract
When constructing a formal model of emotions for intelligent agents, two types of aspects have to be taken into account. First, qualitative aspects pertain to the conditions that elicit emotions. Second, quantitative aspects pertain to the actual experience and intensity of elicited emotions. In this presentation, we show how the qualitative aspects of a well-known psychological model of human emotions can be formalized in an agent specification language and how its quantitative aspects can be integrated into this model. Furthermore, we discuss several unspecified details and implicit assumptions in the psychological model that are explicated by this effort.

Normative Multi-Agent Programs and Their Logics

Authors: Mehdi Dastani, Davide Grossi, John-Jules Ch. Meyer, and Nick Tinnemeier

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8361, Programming Multi-Agent Systems (2008)

Abstract
Multi-agent systems are viewed as consisting of individual agents whose behaviors are regulated by an organization artefact. This paper presents a simplified version of a programming language that is designed to implement norm-based artefacts. Such artefacts are specified in terms of norms being enforced by monitoring, regimenting and sanctioning mechanisms. The syntax and operational semantics of the programming language are introduced and discussed. A logic is presented that can be used to specify and verify properties of programs developed in this language.

06261 Executive Summary – Foundations and Practice of Programming Multi-Agent Systems

Authors: Mehdi Dastani, John-Jules Ch. Meyer, and Rafael H. Bordini

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6261, Foundations and Practice of Programming Multi-Agent Systems (2007)

Abstract
The "Foundations and Practice of Programming Multi-Agent Systems" Dagstuhl Seminar aimed at bringing together researchers interested in programming languages for multi-agent systems, agent-oriented software engineering, and various related aspects such as verification, and formal semantics. We were delighted with the result of this seminar, which gave participants a clear view of the most advanced techniques being currently investigated in research on those topics throughout the world, and also a clear understanding of all the most important open problems that need to be addressed by this research community. The seminar was particularly successful in elucidating the relationship between work being done by the "programming languages for multi-agent systems" (ProMAS) research community and the "agent-oriented software engineering" (AOSE) research community. Even though the initiative for this seminar arose from the ProMAS community, we were delighted to attract many prominent researches from the AOSE community, which allowed us to achieve the positive result on the connection of ProMAS and AOSE research.

On the Logic of Constitutive Rules

Authors: Davide Grossi, John-Jules Meyer, and Frank Dignum

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7122, Normative Multi-agent Systems (2007)

Abstract
The paper proposes a logical systematization of the notion of counts-as which is grounded on a very simple intuition about what counts-as statements actually mean, i.e., forms of classification. Moving from this analytical thesis the paper disentangles three semantically different readings of statements of the type X counts as Y in context C, from the weaker notion of contextual classification to the stronger notion of constitutive rule. These many ways in which counts-as can be said are then formally addressed by making use of modal logic techniques. The resulting framework allows for a formal characterization of all the involved notions and their reciprocal logical relationships.
