Thomas Bolander: Logical Theories for Introspective Agents Artificial intelligence systems (agents) generally have models of the environments they inhabit which they use for representing facts, for reasoning about these facts and for planning actions. Much intelligent behaviour seems to involve an ability to model not only one’s external environment but also oneself and one’s own reasoning. We ...

This paper concerns the representation of introspective belief and knowledge in multi-agent systems. An introspective agent is an agent that has the ability to refer to itself and reason about its own beliefs. It is well-known that representing introspective beliefs is theoretically very problematic. An agent which is given strong introspective abilities is most likely to have inconsistent beli...

The ability to introspect about self-performance is key to human subjective experience, but the neuroanatomical basis of this ability is unknown. Such accurate introspection requires discriminating correct decisions from incorrect ones, a capacity that varies substantially across individuals. We dissociated variation in introspective ability from objective performance in a simple perceptual-dec...

In recent years, many methods have been proposed to explain individual classification predictions of deep neural networks. However, how leverage the created explanations improve learning process has less explored. The extracted from a model can be used guide itself. Another type information training is knowledge provided by powerful teacher model. goal this work self-explanation borrowing ideas...

Problem solving research has encountered an impasse. Since the seminal work of Newell und Simon (1972) researchers do not seem to have made much theoretical progress (Batchelder and Alexander, 2012; Ohlsson, 2012). In this paper we argue that one factor that is holding back the field is the widespread rejection of introspection among cognitive scientists. We review evidence that introspection i...

There is a critical and urgent need for automated analytical agents operating in complex domains to provide meta-level explanations of their reasoning and conclusions. In this paper, we identify the principles for designing analytical agents that can explain their reasoning and justify their conclusions at different levels of abstractions to potential human customers with varying goals. We also...

This position paper presents open issues for using self-models to guide introspective learning, focusing on five key types of areas to explore: (1) broadening the range of learning focuses and the range of learning tools which may be brought to bear, (2) learning for self-understanding as well as self-repair, (3) making model-based approaches more sensitive to processing characteristics, instea...

People see themselves as less susceptible to bias than others. We show that a source of this bias blind spot involves the value that people place, and believe they should place, on introspective information (relative to behavioral information) when assessing bias in themselves versus others. Participants considered introspective information more than behavioral information for assessing bias in...
