Agents, Actions and Reasons
The idea that there is a branch of philosophy called ‘the philosophy of action’ can be dated roughly to the second half of the twentieth century. But while the label is new, the subject matter is not. At least since Socrates, philosophers have concerned themselves with the themes and problems now gathered under that label. In essence, the philosophy of action seeks to offer an account of the be...
متن کاملQuantum Convolution and Quantum Correlation Algorithms Are Physically Impossible
The key step in classical convolution and correlation algorithms, the componentwise multiplication of vectors after initial Fourier Transforms, is shown to be physically impossible to do on quantum states. Then this is used to show that computing the convolution or correlation of quantum state coefficients violates quantum mechanics, making convolution and correlation of quantum coefficients ph...
متن کاملInfants attribute goals even to biomechanically impossible actions.
Human infants readily interpret the actions of others in terms of goals, but the origins of this important cognitive skill are keenly debated. We tested whether infants recognize others' actions as goal-directed on the basis of their experience with carrying out and observing goal-directed actions, or whether their perception of a goal-directed action is based on the recognition of a specific e...
متن کاملK2: Animated Agents that Understand Speech Commands and Perform Actions
This paper presents a prototype dialogue system, K2 , in which a user can instruct agents through speech input to manipulate various objects in a 3-D virtual world. The agents’ action is presented to the user as an animation. To build such a system, we have to deal with some of the deeper issues of natural language processing such as ellipsis and anaphora resolution, handling vagueness, and so ...
