Title Toward the understanding of human interactive intelligence
Abstract

Human communication is not limited to a simple transmission of information but a process of changing other’s mental state and action by the information. It includes an estimation of directly unobservable other’s mental state, like an intention or a goal, and includes a process of action planning to make a self-action more effective. We call this ability as a human interactive intelligence. Understanding of an internal process of the interactive intelligence is crucial for a realization of truly intelligent AI system.

For the understanding of the interactive intelligence process, we tried some behavioral analysis and computational modeling studies. Through a series of analysis, we found the emotion in wider sense is important for a successful interaction, and we often use a strategy of mental state guiding on other’s mind. In this talk, I will talk on the process that we reach to the understanding, and also talk on a possible computational modeling of emotion and on a possible application for a child care scene.

The 8th Seminar

Date January 11, 2017, 14:40-17:50
Speaker Prof. Tsuyoshi HASEGAWA (Professor, Department of Applied Physics, Waseda University)
Title Atomic movement-controlled neuromorphic devices
Abstract Synaptic operation has been demonstrated using various types of non-volatile memory devices for developing neuromorphic systems. Atomic Switch, which controls diffusion of atoms (ions) and their Redox reactions in its switching, is also one of such nonvolatile devices. In this presentation, basics of the device, its characteristics and unique functions will be introduced, especially focusing on its potential application to neuromorphic systems.
