Learning gaze following in space: a computational model

چکیده
Following another person’s gaze in order to achieve joint attention is an important skill in human social interactions. This paper analyzes the gaze following problem and proposes a learning-based computational model for the emergence of gaze following skills in infants. The model acquires advanced gaze following skills by learning associations between caregiver head poses and positions in space, and utilizes depth perception to resolve spatial ambiguities.∗

متن کاملA computational model of the emergence of gaze following
We present a computational model of the emergence of gaze following in infant caregiver interactions. Using the model we explore the plausibility of the hypothesis that gaze following is a skill that infants acquire because they learn that monitoring their caregiver’s direction of gaze allows them to predict where interesting objects or events in their environment are. In particular, we demonst...
متن کاملEmergence of Mirror Neurons in a Model of Gaze Following
Gaze following is the ability to re-direct one’s gaze to the location where another agent is looking. We present a computational model of how human infants or other agents may acquire gaze following by learning to predict the locations of interesting sights from the looking behavior of other agents through reinforcement learning. The model accounts for many findings about the development of gaz...
متن کاملTo each his own: The caregiver's role in a computational model of gaze following
We investigate a computational model of the emergence of gaze following that is based on a generic basic set of mechanisms. Whereas much attention has been focused so far on the study of the infant’s behavior, we systematically analyze the caregiver and show that he plays a crucial role in the development of gaze following in our model, especially for infant models with simulated developmental ...
متن کاملReachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...
