Cognitive mechanisms are shaped by evolution to match their environments. But through their use, these mechanisms exert a shaping force on their surroundings as well. Here we explo...
Interactive virtual worlds provide a powerful medium for experimental learning and entertainment. Nowadays, virtual environments often incorporate human-like embodied virtual agent...
— We present the memetic climber, a simple search algorithm that learns topology and weights of neural networks on different time scales. When applied to the problem of learning ...
Answer set programming (ASP) is a form of declarative programming oriented towards difficult search problems. As an outgrowth of research on the use of nonmonotonic reasoning in k...
Reports of applications that include agent-based models of human behaviour tend to focus on the applications themselves and the success of the modelling exercise. They give little...
