Love and multiagent systems and AI in general… Love can motivate and inspire us. The affects are incorporated into an agent’s utility function and it affects the perceived costs versus actually costs. It is a lens with which agents could view the world. Is this emotion necessary for AI to function appropriately? What emotions are necessary? I think… Continue reading Emotions and AI

Spelling
A friend of mine shared a link to an article about why children have a hard time learning to spell. They argue that we are teaching spelling incorrectly. We should be teaching how words are formed and the etymology not how to sound the word out to spell it. They claim that about “12% of words… Continue reading Spelling
Amazing last week or so
So, I thought I’d write about the past few days as they were quite exciting, eventful, and since I’m forgetful I don’t want to forget. I’ll begin of course at the beginning. Which probably isn’t really the beginning but oh well. The excitement started 12/12/15. I went home to hanover that Friday (12/11) and had… Continue reading Amazing last week or so
Autonomous Vehicles
So, I’ve been thinking rather small lately. Especially with that autonomous mixer idea, I mean pathetic, am I right :p. I really want to go back to the reason I wanted to get into AI and multiagent systems which is making autonomous vehicles! So, I’m sure everyone knows that car manufacturers and even Google and Baidu… Continue reading Autonomous Vehicles
Automatic Dependency Injection
We need a source code analyzer that looks at the includes, imports, requires etc. in the source code and the functions that are used is able to extract the correct dependencies in order to compile and run the program. This would save a ton of time in open source development. I think this is possible… Continue reading Automatic Dependency Injection
Modern Jukebox
The modern jukebox should be an app and people can pick the song to listen too from their personal device. Could have a voting based or purchase based. Then I can listen to the music I want when I’m at the school cafeteria, at a restaurant, or the mall. Could get “tokens” for playing music while… Continue reading Modern Jukebox
Natural Language LfD & RL
So, I’m working with Ermo on applying reinforcement learning to text based games. So, I was wondering if eventually if our method works if we could do text based learning from demonstration with reinforcement learning? Basically instead of the user pressing buttons they would describe what they wanted the system to do using english sentences.… Continue reading Natural Language LfD & RL
Bounty Hunting and Cloud Robotics
Cloud robotics needs very stringent QoS guarantees and in certain cases is highly reliant on location to satisfy some of the requirements. So, I was thinking a while back that maybe a bounty hunting based cloud robotics system could work like: The robot registers with the bounty hunting service the bondsman (highly distributed might have… Continue reading Bounty Hunting and Cloud Robotics
AI and Creativity
So I just read an article stating that AI is nowhere near supplanting artists due to computers inability to “decide what is relevant”. I think that might be giving us AI researchers too much credit or going too soft on us. We have yet to develop non-noisy inputs in order to simulate the emotional and… Continue reading AI and Creativity
Politics and MAS
Politics seems like a good real world example of the multi-agent inverse problem and trying to get agents to coordinate at a massive (country) scale. Basically the multi-agent inverse problem is determining rules and behaviors at the low level that achieve a higher level objective. This problem is made more difficult because the low level… Continue reading Politics and MAS
