Metacognition in Software Agents Using Classifier Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software agents “living” and acting in a real world software environment, such as an operating system, a network, or a database system, can carry out many tasks for humans. Metacognition is very important for humans. It guides people to select, evaluate, revise, and abandon cognitive tasks, goals, and strategies. Thus, metacognition plays an important role in human-like software agents. Metacognition includes metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive monitoring, and metacognitive regulation. Conscious Mattie (CMattie), “living” in a Unix machine, automatically reads and understands email concerning seminars (in natural language), and composes and distributes weekly seminar schedule announcements. CMattie implements Baar’s global workspace theory of consciousness and some other cognitive theories concerning metacognition, episodic memory, emotions, and learning. Thus, the CMattie project has its cognitive science side (cognitive modeling) as well as its computer science side (intelligent software). This paper describes a case study of the design and implementation of modeling metacognition in software agents like CMattie by using a classifier system.

Metacognition using classifier system: A step approaching intelligent agents
Meta-cognition allows one to monitor and adaptively control cognitive processes. It guides people to select, evaluate, revise, and abandon cognitive tasks, goals, and strategies. Also, meta-cognition can play an important role in human-like software agents. It includes meta-cognitive knowledge, meta cognitive monitoring, and meta cognitive regulation. The main purpose of this research paper is ...

متن کاملComparison of Classifier Algorithms in the Identification of Polypharmacy and Factors Affecting it in the Elderly Patients
Introduction: Prescribing and consuming drugs more than necessary which is known as polypharmacy, is both waste of resources and harm to patients. Polypharmacy is especially important for elderly patients; therefore, the factors affecting it must be identified and analyzed properly. Method: In this retrospective study, first, several classifier algorithms, i.e., C4.5, SVM, KNN, MLP, and BN for ...
