Abstract:

. The paper describes a mechanism whereby agents generate perceptual distinctions through a series of adaptive discrimination games and share these distinctions through adaptive language games. Results from computer simulations as well as experiments on robotic agents are presented. 1 Introduction Machine learning research on concept formation has mostly concentrated on inducing definitions of concepts from examples (see e.g. [3] It is assumed that the necessary conceptualisations have been performed by a teacher and that the learning system gets positive and negative examples of the concepts to be learned. There are however many situations where examples are not available. Indeed, it could be argued that as long as the examples are supplied by a teacher, the intelligence resides in the teacher and does not originate in the learner. This paper focuses on how an autonomous agent might be able to construct appropriate conceptualisations himself. It investigates how an agent may co...
