The Agent-Based Perspective on Imitation
(MIT Press, 2002)
This chapter presents the agent-based perspective on imitation. In this perspective, imitation is best considered as the behaviour of an autonomous agent in relation to its environment, including other autonomous agents. ...
The Correspondence Problem
(MIT Press, 2002)
The identification of any form of social learning, imitation, copying or mimicry presupposes a notion of correspondence between two autonomous agents. Judging whether a behaviour has been transmitted socially requires the ...
Do as I Do: Correspondences across Different Robotic Embodiments
(2002)
Behaviour matching and imitation serve as fundamental mechanisms for social learning, the development of social skills, and the evolution of cultures. Imitation and observational learning as means for acquiring new behaviours ...
Through the Looking-Glass with ALICE - Trying to Imitate using Correspondences
(2001)
Interactive behavior of biological agents represents an important area in life as we know it. Behavior matching and imitation may serve as fundamental mechanisms for the development of societies and individuals. Imitation ...
Like Me? - Measures of Correspondence and Imitation
(2001)
Imitation is a powerful mechanism for efficient learning of novel behaviors that both supports and takes advantage of sociality. A fundamental problem for imitation is to create an appropriate (partial) mapping between the ...
Learning how to do things with imitation
(AAAI, 2000)
In this paper we discuss how agents can learn to do things by imitating other agents. Especially we look at how the use of different metrics and sub-goal granularity can affect the imitation results. We use a computer model ...
Constructive biology and approaches to temporal grounding in post-reactive robotics
(1999)
Constructive Biology ( as opposed to descriptive biology) means understanding biological mechanisms through building systems that exhibit life-like properties. Applications include learning engineering tricks from biological ...
On Bots and Bacteria: Ontology Independent Embodiment
(1999)
A framework for understanding and exploiting embodiment is presented which is not dependent on any specific ontological context. This framework is founded on a new definition of embodiment, based on the relational dynamics ...
