Grounded World Models for Higher Layers of Meaning

Stefano de Giorgis Post-doc researcher at Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies – National Research Council (ISTC-CNR), Italy The project involves knowledge representation techniques, neuro-simbolic AI, and cognitive semantics. According to the embodied cognition principles, individuals construct a cognitive representation and conceptualization of the external world based on their perceptual capabilities, according to their affordances,

Multi-agent scheduling in a human-robot collaborative warehouse

Bram Renting PhD at Leiden University, Delft University of Technology In cooperative multi-agent environments, agents can be interdependent in completing tasks. We consider environments where agents schedule future interactions with others they depend on to perform the task. More specifically, our project focuses on human-robot warehouses where humans pick products from shelves and robots transport

Evolution of Theory of Mind

Harmen de Weerd Assistant Professor at University of Groningen In social interactions, humans often make use of their “theory of mind”, which refers to their ability to reason about unobservable mental content of others. Humans can even use their theory of mind to reason about the way other use theory of mind. However, such higher-order

An Adaptive Initial Design for Bayesian Optimization

Carolin Benjamins PhD at Leibniz University Hannover Our goal is to progress on Dynamic Algorithm Configuration (DAC) for Bayesian Optimization (BO). BO is a widely-used and sample-efficient framework for optimizing black-box problems, which are often expensive to evaluate. Dynamically configuring BO enables to adapt to the optimization progress and to any problem landscape without prior
