A Pandemonium Can Have Goals

چکیده
AKIRA is an open-source framework for agent-based cognitive and socio-cognitive modeling and simulation. In this introductory paper we explain the underlying theoretical assumptions that lead to its central features, e.g. hybridism of the components, access to a common pool of resources, homeostasis of the system. In order to show the potentiality of AKIRA for cognitive modeling, we provide and example of a Goal Directed Agent. However, we are not focused on a single agent model, mechanism or computational tool; we use AKIRA as an “experimental laboratory” for modeling and implementing many cognitive functions (e.g. belief and goal dynamics, epistemic actions, anticipation, attention), exploring how higher-order cognition emerges from the interplay of many specialized agents and coalitions that compete, cooperate and learn how to exploit each other.

Perception, Logic and Action through Structured Motivated Associative Pandemonium
The Pandemonium Association Engine (PAE) [5,2,6] is proffered in an attempt to fulfil the cognitive necessities of an agent embodying true intelligence and common sense, and hopefully helping unify the main cognitive paradigms. The operation of the basic model and the performance of the second stage of development introducing imaginary concepts and goals are outlined, along with the principles ...
متن کاملMulti Agent Systems meet Pandemonium
AKIRA is an open-source framework integrating MAS and Pandemonium features. Here we discuss AKIRA’s peculiarities and compare it with some of the most known MAS platforms. We show how to use AKIRA for Agent based modeling, providing some examples. We also describe a client-server scheme allowing for a kind of ‘middleware’, e.g. an AI server for game actors, intelligent tutoring systems, or deci...
متن کاملThe pandemonium system of reflective agents
The Pandemonium system of reflective MINOS agents solves problems by automatic dynamic modularization of the input space. The agents contain feedforward neural networks which adapt using the backpropagation algorithm. We demonstrate the performance of Pandemonium on various categories of problems. These include learning continuous functions with discontinuities, separating two spirals, learning...
متن کاملThe RGF pandemonium: a low-level representational model for images
In this work, we have reformulated the selection of a few responding units tuned to patterns of activity from the Fourier spectrum as a multilayer system composed of four stages of di erent kinds of feature detectors. The system output is a sparse representation for images that produces an organization according to object power discrimination. The resultant multilayer system provides a more e c...
