Agents for educational games and simulations
This book consists mainly of revised papers that were presented at the Agents for Educational Games and Simulation (AEGS) workshop held on May 2, 2011, as part of the Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems (AAMAS) conference in Taipei, Taiwan. The 12 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers are organized topical sections on middleware applications, dialogues and learning, adaption and convergence, and agent applications
Transdisciplinary AI Observatory -- Retrospective Analyses and Future-Oriented Contradistinctions
In the last years, AI safety gained international recognition in the light of
heterogeneous safety-critical and ethical issues that risk overshadowing the
broad beneficial impacts of AI. In this context, the implementation of AI
observatory endeavors represents one key research direction. This paper
motivates the need for an inherently transdisciplinary AI observatory approach
integrating diverse retrospective and counterfactual views. We delineate aims
and limitations while providing hands-on-advice utilizing concrete practical
examples. Distinguishing between unintentionally and intentionally triggered AI
risks with diverse socio-psycho-technological impacts, we exemplify a
retrospective descriptive analysis followed by a retrospective counterfactual
risk analysis. Building on these AI observatory tools, we present near-term
transdisciplinary guidelines for AI safety. As further contribution, we discuss
differentiated and tailored long-term directions through the lens of two
disparate modern AI safety paradigms. For simplicity, we refer to these two
different paradigms with the terms artificial stupidity (AS) and eternal
creativity (EC) respectively. While both AS and EC acknowledge the need for a
hybrid cognitive-affective approach to AI safety and overlap with regard to
many short-term considerations, they differ fundamentally in the nature of
multiple envisaged long-term solution patterns. By compiling relevant
underlying contradistinctions, we aim to provide future-oriented incentives for
constructive dialectics in practical and theoretical AI safety research
Quantifying the need for supervised machine learning in conducting live forensic analysis of emergent configurations (ECO) in IoT environments
© 2020 The Author(s) Machine learning has been shown as a promising approach to mine larger datasets, such as those that comprise data from a broad range of Internet of Things devices, across complex environment(s) to solve different problems. This paper surveys existing literature on the potential of using supervised classical machine learning techniques, such as K-Nearest Neigbour, Support Vector Machines, Naive Bayes and Random Forest algorithms, in performing live digital forensics for different IoT configurations. There are also a number of challenges associated with the use of machine learning techniques, as discussed in this paper
Predictive Analysis on Twitter: Techniques and Applications
Predictive analysis of social media data has attracted considerable attention
from the research community as well as the business world because of the
essential and actionable information it can provide. Over the years, extensive
experimentation and analysis for insights have been carried out using Twitter
data in various domains such as healthcare, public health, politics, social
sciences, and demographics. In this chapter, we discuss techniques, approaches
and state-of-the-art applications of predictive analysis of Twitter data.
Specifically, we present fine-grained analysis involving aspects such as
sentiment, emotion, and the use of domain knowledge in the coarse-grained
analysis of Twitter data for making decisions and taking actions, and relate a
