Reactive Agents Learn to Add Epistemic Structures to the World
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide a computationally tractable model of how organisms can learn to add structures to the world to reduce cognitive complexity. This model is then implemented using two techniques: first using a genetic algorithm, and then using the Q-learning algorithm. The results clearly show that organisms with only reactive behavior can learn to systematically add structures to the world to reduce their cognitive load. We show that such learning can happen in both evolutionary time and within an agents lifetime. An extension of this model (currently being implemented) is then illustrated, where organisms with just reactive behavior learn to systematically generate and use internal structures akin to representations.

متن کاملThe Origin of Epistemic Structures and Proto-Representations
Organisms across species use the strategy of generating structures in their environment to lower cognitive complexity. Examples include pheromones, markers, color codes, etc. We provide a model of how such structures originate, and present a simulation where organisms with only reactive behavior learn, within their lifetime, to add such structures to their world to lower cognitive load. This im...

Organisms across species use the strategy of generating structures in their environment to lower cognitive complexity. Examples include pheromones, markers, colour codes, etc. Distributed Cognition theory has argued that studying such ‘epistemic structures’ can provide insights into the development and nature of internal representations, and cognition itself. We develop this claim by providing ...
متن کاملModeling of Epistemic Uncertainty in Reliability Analysis of Structures Using a Robust Genetic Algorithm
In this paper the fuzzy structural reliability index was determined through modeling epistemic uncertainty arising from ambiguity in statistical parameters of random variables. The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) has been used and a robust genetic algorithm in the alpha level optimization method has been proposed for the determination of the fuzzy reliability index. The sensitivity level ...
متن کاملBuilding Epistemic Logic from Observations and Public Announcements
We study an epistemic logic where knowledge is built from what the agents observe (including higher-order visibility) and what the agents learn from public announcements. This fixes two main drawbacks of previous observability-based approaches where who sees what is common knowledge and where the epistemic operators distribute over disjunction. The latter forbids the modeling of most of the cla...
