Semantic Knowledge Representation for Strategic Interactions in Dynamic Situations

Knowledge in strategic situations A survey

This paper surveys some recent papers that fit into a general project of developing formal tools for reasoning about social software. When developing such models, it is important to take into account both agents’ utilities and agents’ information. The two papers discussed in this paper primarily focus on the latter by making explicit the role of information in multi-agent situations. In the set...

Explicit teaching of meta-strategic knowledge in authentic classroom situations

Meta-strategic Knowledge (MSK) is a sub-component of metacognition that is defined in the present study as general, explicit knowledge about thinking strategies. In the present study we shall focus on the control of variables thinking strategy. Following an earlier study (Zohar & Peled 2007) that showed considerable effects of explicit instruction of MSK in laboratory setting, this study explor...

Knowledge Representation and Bayesian Inference for Response to Situations

Commonsense reasoning is crucial in making humanoid robots capable of responding to situations in a human-like fashion. To address this challenge, we have used a Bayesian Network to compare different responses to find a likely response. This Bayesian Network is populated for the situation under consideration from a multidimensional semantic net, called the PraxiNet. PraxiNet is used to graphica...
