This paper aims to improve an existing framework for implementing agent consciousness exposing an introspection-based feature. We extend the framework to a multiagent platform and implement an imitation process based on a similar mechanism to the introspection. Both orthogonal approaches are then set together leading to a model where leader and follower reach optimal efficiency after a few runs...

INTRODUCTION: Whenever there has been a technological revolution, have advantages and disadvantages associated with it. Artificial intelligence is now going through this phase of uncertainty. There are groups that agree embrace new technology, others simply refuse to let it into our daily lives. OBJECTIVE: The purpose reflection will be understand the use artificial in health science.

A major concern in Translation Studies (TS) has been on what really goes on in the translators’ head while they are translating (not what researchers claim is going on). Among the techniques utilized in studying such cognitive processes and systems, think-aloud protocols (TAPs) have been widely em- ployed. As a content analysis study, this Qual-Quan mixed methods...

Self-knowledge (S-K) has a variety of dimensions and philosophers have proposed, and continue to propose, a host of different methods to explore or to establish the principles of a very particular form of knowledge such as this. What is quite impressive in the philosophical literature (by which I mean not only that of analytical inspiration but also that of the so-called continental philosophy)...

Self-enhancement is linked to psychological gains (e.g., subjective well-being, persistence in adversity), but also to intrapersonal and interpersonal costs (e.g., excessive risktaking, antisocial behavior). Thus, constraints on self-enhancement may sometimes afford intrapersonal and interpersonal advantages. We tested whether explanatory introspection (i.e., generating reasons for why one migh...

The cultural history of the real numbers began with the positive integers. Kronecker is often quoted as saying, "God made the integers; all else is the work of man," by which he meant that the system of real numbers had been erected by mathematicians on the intuitively obvious foundation provided by the integers. Taken as a statement about the cultural history of mathematics, this is beyond dis...

Creative solution for a problem depends on its proper representation. For a systematic search for a new representation we introduced Semiotic Introspection Principle (SIP). The resulting representations are compared with other attempts to find a solution, borrowed from the paper on creativity published by McCarthy and related to his “Tough Nut Problem”. It is also shown in our paper how to obta...

This thesis identifies operational uncertainty as a significant problem affecting reliable robot performance in real environments. Operational uncertainty represents ambiguity in a robot’s self-perceived state during the execution of a task. This ambiguity is introduced into a robotic system through events such as unanticipated environmental disturbances, failing hardware and software built upo...
