Theme Preface Mind Minding Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
The central issue addressed in the Mind Minding Agents symposium is how theories of the Theory of Mind can inform the design of social agents in multi-agent systems and embodied conversational agents interacting with a human interlocutor. Related to this are the questions on how to build and use computational models of the Theory of Mind. The concept of Theory of Mind has been proposed in the psychological literature to account for our capability to attribute mental states to others, or in other words, to read another’s mind. Modelling the process that enables us to construct theories regarding the intentions of others seems to be required when designing social agents that interact with each other and have to coordinate their actions, negotiate and collaborate. Embodied conversational agents that engage in face-to-face conversation, similarly have to figure out the intention of the conversational actions of the human interlocutor and provide cues whether or not they are paying attention and understanding of what is being said.
