    The Pedagogical Pentagon: A Conceptual Framework for Artificial Pedagogy

    Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) research has traditionally focused most energy on constructing systems that can learn from data and/or environment interactions. This paper considers the ...

    About Understanding

    The concept of understanding is commonly used in everyday communications, and seems to lie at the heart of human intelligence. However, no concrete theory of understanding has been fielded as of yet in artificial...

    Why Artificial Intelligence Needs a Task Theory

    The concept of “task” is at the core of artificial intelligence (AI): Tasks are used for training and evaluating AI systems, which are built in order to perform and automatize tasks we deem useful. In other fi...

    Bounded Seed-AGI

    Four principal features of autonomous control systems are left both unaddressed and unaddressable by present-day engineering methodologies: (1) The ability to operate effectively in environments that are only ...

    Resource-Bounded Machines are Motivated to be Effective, Efficient, and Curious

    Resource-boundedness must be carefully considered when designing and implementing artificial general intelligence (AGI) algorithms and architectures that have to deal with the real world. But not only must resour...

    A formal model of emotion triggers: an approach for BDI agents

    This paper formalizes part of a well-known psychological model of emotions. In particular, the logical structure underlying the conditions that trigger emotions are studied and then hierarchically organized. T...

    Towards an Actual Gödel Machine Implementation: a Lesson in Self-Reflective Systems

    Recently, interest has been revived in self-reflective systems in the context of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI system should be intelligent enough to be able to reason about its own program cod...

    A Family of Gödel Machine Implementations

    The Gödel Machine is a universal problem solver encoded as a completely self-referential program capable of rewriting any part of itself, provided it can prove that the rewrite is useful according to some util...

    Operational Semantics for BDI Modules in Multi-agent Programming

    This paper proposes an operational semantics for BDI modules that can be incorporated in multi-agent programming languages. The introduced concept of modules facilitates the implementation of agents, agent rol...

    A Formal Model of Emotion-Based Action Tendency for Intelligent Agents

    Although several formal models of emotions for intelligent agents have recently been proposed, such models often do not formally specify how emotions influence the behavior of an agent. In psychological litera...

    Modularity in Agent Programming Languages

    This paper discusses a module-based vision for designing BDI-based multi-agent programming languages. The introduced concept of modules is generic and facilitates the implementation of different agent concepts...
