Learning as Abductive Deliberations

This paper explains an architecture for a BDI agent that can learn based on its own experience. The learning is conducted through explicit procedural knowledge or plans in a goal-directed manner. The learning is described by encoding abductions within the deliberation processes. With this model, the agent is capable of modifying its own plans on the run. We demonstrate that by abducing some com...

Computational Predictors in Online Social Deliberations

This research seeks to identify online participants’ disposition and skills. A prototype dashboard and annotation scheme were developed to support facilitators and several computational predictors were identified that show statistically significant correlations with dialogue skills as observed by human annotators.

Security Deliberations in Software Development Lifecycle

Security is a serious problem in software development which when not taken into consideration, exploits vulnerabilities in software. Such security related problems need to be addressed as early as possible while building software. Security problems exist for many reasons. A major thing is that, software cannot resist security attacks. Software security vulnerabilities are often caused due to th...

Deliberations on Unconscious thought Theory

Two central assumptions of unconscious thought theory (UTT) are the capacity assumption and the weighting assumption. The capacity assumption states that unconscious thought (UT) is unconstrained by cognitive capacity, thereby enabling people to make capacity-free choices when information can be aggregated unconsciously. The weighting assumption states that the unconscious is better able to wei...
