Abstract The present study investigates the relationship between multiple intelligences and teaching styles of Eng-lish as Foreign Language (EFL) learners and teachers. The participants of the study included 106 EFL teachers and 400 EFL learners. Teachers were invited to complete a Multiple Intelligences Inventory for EFL Teachers, developed by Christison (1998) and a Thinking Styles Inventor...

This paper explores modeling the adaptive mechanisms of autonomous agents. The focus is on reflexive interaction as a looping action that creates a “self.” Imitation and play are adaptive components of reflexive interactions that can provide gradual modifications of the agent’s self. Little by little, the autonomous agent reinforces what seems to work and phases out other options through an int...

This study presents the first report of Artificial Improvisation, or improvisational theatre performed live, on-stage, alongside an artificial intelligence-based improvisational performer. The Artificial Improvisor is a form of artificial conversational agent, or chatbot, focused on open domain dialogue and collaborative narrative generation. Using stateof-the-art machine learning techniques sp...

First step in developing electronic book is to build a conceptual model. The model described in this paper is designed by integrating Multiple Intelligences Theory with existing electronic book models. Emphasis is on integrating the content of a page with appropriate activities that meet and cater for the diversity of learning styles and intelligence in young children. We postulate that an addi...

There are many goals for an AI that could become dangerous if the AI becomes superintelligent or otherwise powerful. Much work on the AI control problem has been focused on constructing AI goals that are safe even for such AIs. This paper looks at an alternative approach: defining a general concept of ‘low impact’. The aim is to ensure that a powerful AI which implements low impact will not mod...

Common wisdom suggests that intelligence, what is more clearly termed academic or verbal intelligence, should predict both emergence into positions of leadership (smart people are selected as leaders or figure out how to become leaders) and leadership effectiveness (smart people are better at determining strategy and solving complex problems). Although there is a positive relationship between v...
