Understanding and Measuring Collective Intelligence Across Different Cognitive Systems: An Information-Theoretic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop the idea of collective intelligence by analysing a range of factors hindering the effectiveness of interactive cognitive agents. We give insights into how to explore the potential of collectives across different cognitive systems (human, animal and machine) and research areas. The endeavour is to bridge the different research disciplines in which collective intelligence might occur and apply the studies of intelligence in AI to other fields, thereby cross-fertilising diverse areas of study ranging from business and management to social sciences and fundamental biology.

Factors of Collective Intelligence: How Smart Are Agent Collectives?
The dynamics and characteristics behind intelligent cognitive systems lie at the heart of understanding, and devising, successful solutions to a variety of multiagent problems. Despite the extant literature on collective intelligence, important questions like “how does the effectiveness of a collective compare to its isolated members?” and “are there some general rules or properties shaping the...
متن کاملUniversal psychometrics: Measuring cognitive abilities in the machine kingdom
We present and develop the notion of ‘universal psychometrics’ as a subject of study, and eventually a discipline, that focusses on the measurement of cognitive abilities for the machine kingdom, which comprises any (cognitive) system, individual or collective, either artificial, biological or hybrid. Universal psychometrics can be built, of course, upon the experience, techniques and methodolo...
متن کاملSynthetic collective intelligence
Intelligent systems have emerged in our biosphere in different contexts and achieving different levels of complexity. The requirement of communication in a social context has been in all cases a determinant. The human brain, probably co-evolving with language, is an exceedingly successful example. Similarly, social insects complex collective decisions emerge from information exchanges between m...
متن کاملEvidence Based Reasoning in Classifier Hierarchies
Hierarchical neural networks naturally combine subsymbolic information processing with symbolic information as they consist of several neural classifiers which provide hierarchically structured knowledge. This knowledge implies a particular uncertainty which is indicated by the magnitude of the classifier outputs. There are different ways to combine this expert knowledge to a collective output....
متن کاملZ-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information
Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
