Self-healing materials: Get ready for repair-and-go.

We are fortunate that our bodies are able to heal themselves with little or no intervention after a minor injury such as a small cut. This self-healing ability has inspired scientists to invent a range of different methods for restoring function to damaged materials1. However, there are many challenges to be overcome before self-healing materials are available for practical applications such as...

Unifying Self- and Other-Repair

We discuss similarities between midutterance self-correction, which is often seen as a phenomenon that lies outside the scope of theories of dialogue meaning, and other discourse phenomena, and argue that an approach that captures these similarities is desirable. We then provide a sketch of such an approach, using Ginzburg’s KoS formalism, and discuss the implications of including ‘sub-utteranc...

Perceptually grounded self-diagnosis and self-repair of domain knowledge

We view incremental experiential learning in intelligent software agents as progressive agent self-adaptation. When an agent produces an incorrect behavior, then it may reflect on, and thus diagnose and repair, the reasoning and knowledge that produced the incorrect behavior. In particular, we focus on the self-diagnosis and self-repair of an agent’s domain knowledge. The core issue that this a...
