A Missing Link: The Role of Semiotics in Multiagent Enviroments

چکیده
Approaches to artificial intelligence research based on autonomous agents have thus far primarily relied on cognitive science and other psychologically motivated approaches to the social world. These approaches have been a logical outcome of the researchers' concentration on agent building. However, recent developments in the field have revealed the need for a wider and primarily socially centered interpretive framework in which to account for or model the agents' behavior. Dautenhahn's attempt to interpret the agents' social behavior has been based (frequently only implicitly) on macro-sociological approaches and biologically motivated evolutionary determinist theories. In order to make autonomous agents truly "sociallly intelligent", researchers will sooner or later need to take microsociological theories into consideration.The fact that these theories are interaction and communication-centered opens up the possibility for a relevant application of semiotic theories in the field of AI. This paper outlines the elements of several classical semiotic theories potentially useful in current and future AI research centered on autonomous agent modeling. Briefly discussed are Greimas-Courtes's distinction between actor and actant, TartuMoscow school notions of semiosphere and culture as secondary modeling system, Jakobson's notion of the functions of language, and Eco's semiotic approach to semantics, as expressed by his notion of cultural encyclopedia.

This paper studies the role of the semiotic discussions of Charles Sanders Peirce, the American philosopher and mathematician, in the formation of Deleuze’s first leading book on cinema, Cinema 1: the Movement-Image,in whichthe author surpasses Peirce’s semiotics. We will show how Deleuze creates a new form of signs in his second leading book on cinema, Cinema 2: the Time-Image. Deleuze had tri...
متن کاملA Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
متن کاملSolving the flexible job shop problem by hybrid metaheuristics-based multiagent model
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem that allows to process operations on one machine out of a set of alternative machines. The FJSP is an NP-hard problem consisting of two sub-problems, which are the assignment and the scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose how to solve the FJSP by hybrid metaheuristics-based c...
