Experimental and causal view on information integration in autonomous agents

چکیده
The amount of digitally available but heterogeneous information about the world is remarkable, and new technologies such as self-driving cars, smart homes, or the internet of things may further increase it. In this paper we examine certain aspects of the problem of how such heterogeneous information can be harnessed by autonomous agents. After discussing potentials and limitations of some existing approaches, we investigate how experiments can help to obtain a better understanding of the problem. Specifically, we present a simple agent that integrates video data from a different agent, and implement and evaluate a version of it on the novel experimentation platform Malmo. The focus of a second investigation is on how information about the hardware of different agents, the agents’ sensory data, and causal information can be utilized for knowledge transfer between agents and subsequently more data-efficient decision making. Finally, we discuss potential future steps w.r.t. theory and experimentation, and formulate open questions.

Coordination Approach to Find Best Defense Decision with Multiple Possibilities among Robocup Soccer Simulation Team
In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...

متن کاملContexts in Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce
In agent-mediated electronic commerce, agents need to exchange information with other agents and to integrate the obtained information with their own data. Integration is a very complex task as: information is distributed among different agents; each agent autonomously represents and manages its own information; information might be partial, as agent cannot wait to have complete information bef...
