Software agents that learn through observation (Short paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an architecture for software agents that enables them to learn vocabulary through the observation of each other bodies and actions. Besides sensors, effectors, and action control, the architecture provides the equivalent of a body with visual appearance. The agent soft visual appearance is designed to be seen by other software agents, not by people. The paper describes the agent software body with visual appearance, the learning mechanism, the demonstration scenario and presents some results showing that the agent software body allows agents to learn vocabulary through observation and to ground the meaning of the symbols they learn. The paper emphasizes the important role of social interaction in learning processes.

Learning by Observation of Agent Software Images
Learning by observation can be of key importance whenever agents sharing similar features want to learn from each other. This paper presents an agent architecture that enables software agents to learn by direct observation of the actions executed by expert agents while they are performing a task. This is possible because the proposed architecture displays information that is essential for obser...
متن کاملImproving Knowledge and Attitude of Nurses Working In Chemotherapy Wards through a Short Educational Course: A Successful Experience in Mashhad
Background: Cancer is the third leading cause of death in Iran. Novel chemotherapeutic agents can lead to considerable improvements in cancer treatment, although using these agents requires special skills and experiences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a short course education on nurses’ knowledge and attitude. Methods: Overall, 24 nurses participated in this short educatio...
متن کاملLearning State-Based Behaviour using Temporally Related Cases
Learning by observation allows a software agent to learn an expert’s behaviour, by examining the actions the expert performs in response to inputs, without the expert having to explicitly program the agent. Most learning by observation approaches only make use of the current inputs and actions of the expert and ignore any past inputs or actions. This limits the agents to only being able to lear...
متن کاملLearning From Observation Using Primitives
This paper describes the use of task primitives in robot learning from observation. A framework has been developed that uses observed data to initially learn a task and then the agent goes on to increase its performance through repeated task performance (learning from practice). Data that is collected while a human performs a task is parsed into small parts of the task called primitives. Module...
متن کاملIdentity formation/transformation as the process of collaborative learning through AlgoArena
This paper demonstrates the process of identity formation in the collaborative learning of programming through AlgoArena, which is educational software for learning programming. AlgoArena is a collaborative educational system through which learners can learn programming by participating together in the formation of a community of practice and their identity in it. This paper investigates how a ...
