Information-Theoretical Aspects of Embodied Artificial Intelligence

Nervous systems are complex structure whose connectivity reflects statistical regularities of their surrounding sensory world. A key theoretical rationale for embodied artificial intelligence originates from the observation that organisms or embodied agents actively structure their inputs through physical interactions with and coupling to their environments. In this talk, I will survey some key...

Exploring the Environmental Methods of Qualitative Researches in Persian Journals of Knowledge and Information Science

Background and Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the quantity and quality of qualitative studies accomplished by Knowledge and Information Science (KIS) Researchers. Methods: For this purpose, methodology section of articles published in 13 main Persian Journals in the field of KIS during 2004-2015 had been systematically scrutinized. Results: Findings showed that:  total of 143 ar...

Exploring Growing Information Spaces

Growing information spaces bring not only informational challenges, but also new opportunities for exploration. Drawing from maps as an analogy, we conceptualize information seekers as explorers of expanding information landscapes. While text has been the dominant frame of reference for information-seeking interfaces, visualization has the potential to expose faceted overviews and provide many ...

Information-theoretic approach to embodied category learning

We address the issue of how statistical and information-theoric measures can be employed to quantify the categorization process of a simulated robotic agent interacting with its local environment. We show how correlation, entropy, and mutual information can help identify distinct informational structure which can be used for object classification. Further, by means of the isometric feature mapp...
