Through the Looking-Glass with ALICE — Trying to Imitate using Correspondences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactive behavior of biological agents represents an important area in life as we know it. Behavior matching and imitation may serve as fundamental mechanisms for the development of societies and individuals. Imitation and observational learning as means for acquiring new behaviors also represent a largely untapped resource for robotics and artificial life — both in the study of life as it could be and for applications of biological tricks to synthetic worlds. This paper describes a new general imitating mechanism called ALICE (Action Learning for Imitation via Correspondences between Embodiments) that addresses the important correspondence problem in imitation. The mechanism is implemented and illustrated on the chessworld test-bed that was used in previous work to address the effects of agent embodiment, metrics and granularity when learning how to imitate another. The performance of the imitating agent is shown to improve when ALICE is complementing its imitation behavior generating mechanism.

We present Alice, a functional programming language that has been designed with strong support for typed open programming. It incorporates concurrency with data flow synchronisation, higher-order modularity, dynamic modules, and type-safe pickling as a minimal and generic set of simple, orthogonal features providing that support. Based on these mechanisms Alice offers a flexible notion of compo...

متن کاملAlice through Looking Glass after Looking Glass: The Mathematics of Mirrors and Kaleidoscopes
Let us imagine that Lewis Carroll stopped condensing determinants long enough to write a third Alice book called Alice Through Looking Glass After Looking Glass. The book opens with Alice in her chamber in front of several looking glasses. She enters one of them and discovers that she is in a new virtual chamber that looks almost like her own. On closer examination she discovers that she is now...

Adult learners who are introduced to transformative learning in their university education initially tend to find the experience strikingly different from their previous educational programs. For Registered Nurses beginning a baccalaureate degree in nursing, learning in a transformative environment may be as odd to them as was the experience of Lewis Carroll’s Alice on the other side of the Loo...
