Semantic interoperability represents the ability of two or more systems to automatically interpret the information exchanged meaningfully in order to produce useful results. Currently, the best recognized technology for achieving a specification of meaning is represented by ontologies. However, the variety of ways that a domain can be conceptualized results in the creation of different ontologies with discrepancies and heterogeneities. As a consequence, an ontology alignment process is necessary for bridging this gap and achieving a full communication understanding across different software components. This paper uses a synergetic approach, based on the integration of collaborative agents and parallel memetic algorithms, for efficiently aligning ontologies and, consequently, solving the semantic heterogeneity problem. As shown by a statistical procedure, our approach yields high performance in terms of the ratio between alignment quality and computational effort with respect to conventional evolutionary approaches for ontology alignment.
语义互操作性表示两个或多个系统自动解释有意义的交换信息以产生有用结果的能力。目前,实现意义规范的最佳公认技术是由本体论表示的。然而,对领域进行概念化的各种方法会导致创建具有差异和异构性的不同本体。因此,本体对齐过程对于弥合这一差距和实现跨不同软件组件的完整通信理解是必要的。本文采用基于协作代理和并行模因算法集成的协同方法,有效地对齐本体,从而解决语义异构问题。正如统计过程所示,我们的方法在对齐质量和计算工作量之间的比率方面,与传统的本体对齐进化方法相比,产生了高性能。

Cooperative induction of decision trees 决策树的合作归纳
Pub Date : 2013-04-16 DOI: 10.1109/IA.2013.6595190

Currently many problems related to data mining and knowledge discovery have two relevant characteristics: they produce data that is distributed over several locations, while also generating large volumes of data that need to be classified in an online fashion. Examples of such applications are related to bioinformatics, e-commerce, and sensor data. Regarding classification by means of decision trees, some efficient approaches have been proposed, which are centralized and based on restructuring the decision tree using new instances. However, there are some issues. First, most proposed approaches require that new instances are fully labeled. Second, in some environments, the agent in charge of the classification task cannot re-induce the classifier or restructure the decision tree each time it observes a new instance. Moreover, because this agent does not see the whole dataset, the induced classifier is not likely to be very accurate unless information is exchanged among the agents that are, each, in charge of pieces of the data. Thus, a decrease in accuracy may occur because attributes and classes may be misrepresented in the training dataset used so far. Instead of re-inducing the classification model with arbitrary frequency in a centralized way, this paper proposes an approach based on reinforcement learning that allows agents to go on using the existing classifier as basis for some exploration in the space of possible classifications. We use a quality assessment of the learned model in order to let each agent decide when it is time to get a new model, either by borrowing it from another agent, or by inducing a new classifier. Results using UCI datasets with various characteristics show that this method can be used as a compromise between costly methods for re-inducing the classifier at all times, and using only a static and centralized classification model.
目前,许多与数据挖掘和知识发现相关的问题都有两个相关的特点:它们产生的数据分布在多个位置,同时也产生大量需要在线分类的数据。这类应用的例子与生物信息学、电子商务和传感器数据有关。针对基于决策树的分类方法,提出了一些集中的、基于新实例重构决策树的分类方法。然而,也存在一些问题。首先,大多数建议的方法要求对新实例进行完全标记。其次,在某些环境中,负责分类任务的智能体不能在每次观察到一个新实例时重新诱导分类器或重构决策树。此外,由于该代理没有看到整个数据集,除非在每个代理之间交换信息,否则诱导分类器不太可能非常准确,每个代理负责数据块。因此,准确性可能会下降,因为属性和类可能在目前使用的训练数据集中被错误地表示。本文提出了一种基于强化学习的方法,允许智能体继续使用现有的分类器作为基础,在可能分类的空间中进行一些探索,而不是集中地以任意频率重新归纳分类模型。我们使用学习模型的质量评估,以便让每个智能体决定何时获得新模型,或者通过从另一个智能体借用模型,或者通过引入新的分类器。使用具有各种特征的UCI数据集的结果表明,该方法可以作为一种折衷的方法,在任何时候都需要重新诱导分类器的昂贵方法和仅使用静态和集中的分类模型之间。

Benefits of routing and replanning with imperfect information 不完全信息下的路由和重新规划的好处
Pub Date : 2013-04-16 DOI: 10.1109/IA.2013.6595189
Maicon de Brito do Amarante, A. Bazzan
Equilibrium-based traffic assignment models do not consider traffic movement. In particular the functions that are used to estimate delay from volume of vehicles do not allow the representation of the phenomenon of congestion spillback. In some cases one needs to understand and analyze microscopic properties associated to how travelers adjust to the conditions they encounter. This, on its turn, leads to dynamic environments that are difficult to analyze with conventional tools. This paper presents an agent-based simulation of route choice under different conditions of demand generation, number, and types of driver agents. We consider more sophisticated drivers' behaviors such as en-route decision-making. Besides, they may be equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle communication. We discuss the effects of the use of: various ratio demand/capacity, demand generation, information exchange, and re-planning strategies. The use of an agent-based approach allows the analysis of different classes of agents, thus departing from the investigation of population-wide metrics only. The main conclusion is that for travelers whose trips are long, there is a benefit of using communication and replan en-route, depending on the demand. However, in general, having imperfect information is advantageous, especially from the whole system perspective.
基于均衡的交通分配模型不考虑交通运动。特别是用于估计车辆数量延迟的函数不允许表示拥堵溢出现象。在某些情况下,人们需要了解和分析与旅行者如何适应他们遇到的条件有关的微观特性。这反过来又导致了难以用常规工具分析的动态环境。本文给出了在不同需求产生、不同数量和不同类型的驾驶员代理条件下的路线选择仿真。我们考虑的是更复杂的驾驶员行为,比如途中决策。此外,它们可能配备了车对车通信。我们讨论了使用各种比率需求/容量、需求产生、信息交换和重新规划策略的影响。使用基于代理的方法允许对不同类别的代理进行分析,从而脱离了仅对人口范围指标的调查。主要结论是,对于长途旅行的旅行者来说,根据需求在途中使用通信和重新计划是有好处的。然而,总的来说,拥有不完全信息是有利的,特别是从整个系统的角度来看。

A grand challenge for computational intelligence a micro-environment benchmark for adaptive autonomous intelligent agents 计算智能的重大挑战——自适应自主智能体的微环境基准

Being able to acquire knowledge and form concepts by observing, exploring, and interacting with the environment and then applying the knowledge thus gained for problem solving to satisfy its goals and needs is the hallmark of an adaptive autonomous intelligent agent. However, for an intelligent agent to be fully autonomous and adaptive, all aspects of intelligent processing from perception to action must be engaged and integrated. To build such an all-encompassing system is a formidable task. We propose that a good approach is to first identify the necessary intelligent computational structures and processes for dealing with a suitably designed micro-environment so that they are tractable. The challenge for computational intelligence is then to uncover general principles leading to general computational structures and processes that can deal with the micro-environment and that are also scalable to deal with more complex and real-world environments. Neuroscience research revealed that there are indeed such scalable general mechanisms in the brain and this is reviewed to provide inspirations for the building of artificial systems. A suitable micro-environment for this purpose must consist of a minimal set of features necessary to engage the various intelligent processes from that of the perceptual to that of the attentional, memory, affective, conceptual, planning, action, and learning. The micro-environment benchmark we propose here consists of an internal environment including the affective states of the intelligent agent as well as an external environment that is dynamic and in which activities of and interactions between objects can take place to engage the intelligent agent in all the intelligent processes described above.
能够通过观察、探索和与环境的互动来获取知识和形成概念,然后将由此获得的知识用于解决问题,以满足其目标和需求,这是自适应自主智能体的标志。然而,为了使智能体完全自主和自适应,从感知到行动的智能处理的各个方面都必须参与和集成。建立这样一个包罗万象的系统是一项艰巨的任务。我们建议,一个好的方法是首先确定必要的智能计算结构和过程,以处理适当设计的微环境,使它们易于处理。计算智能面临的挑战是揭示一般原则,从而产生通用的计算结构和过程,这些结构和过程既可以处理微环境,又可以扩展到处理更复杂的现实环境。神经科学研究表明,大脑中确实存在这种可扩展的一般机制,并对其进行了回顾,以为人工系统的构建提供灵感。为了达到这个目的,一个合适的微环境必须包含一组最小的特征,以参与从感知到注意、记忆、情感、概念、计划、行动和学习的各种智能过程。我们在这里提出的微环境基准包括一个内部环境,包括智能代理的情感状态,以及一个动态的外部环境,在这个外部环境中,对象之间的活动和交互可以发生,从而使智能代理参与上述所有智能过程。

Educators continually strive to provide learning materials that are specifically adapted to their students' unique learning preferences and needs. Software use continues to grow in classrooms however typical educational programs cannot be modified to suit individual learners. The Thinking Head Whiteboard is a lesson authoring tool that provides such a capability, allowing educators without a computer programming background to create their own interactive lessons. The Thinking Head Whiteboard also supports the use of virtual human `tutors' and `peers' within these lessons, making it uniquely suited to assist in areas such as social skills education. Further, the software currently being developed incorporates a basic level of automated assessment, allowing it to adapt on the fly to learner needs, providing repetition of content for struggling learners and fast-tracking those who are proficient. Ultimately, it is hoped that the Thinking Head Whiteboard will become an engaging and useful tool for educators and learners alike.
教育工作者不断努力提供特别适合学生独特学习偏好和需要的学习材料。软件的使用在课堂上持续增长,但是典型的教育程序不能修改以适应个别学习者。Thinking Head白板是一个课程创作工具,它提供了这样的功能,允许没有计算机编程背景的教育工作者创建他们自己的交互式课程。Thinking Head白板还支持在这些课程中使用虚拟人类“导师”和“同伴”,使其特别适合在社交技能教育等领域提供帮助。此外,目前正在开发的软件包含了基本水平的自动评估,使其能够适应学习者的需求,为学习困难的学习者提供重复的内容,并快速跟踪那些熟练的学习者。最终,我们希望思维头白板能够成为教育工作者和学习者的一个有吸引力和有用的工具。

Genetic algorithms in repeated matrix games: the effects of algorithmic modifications and human input with various associates 重复矩阵博弈中的遗传算法:算法修改和人类输入与各种关联的影响

In many real-world systems, multiple independent entities (or agents) repeatedly interact. Such repeated interactions, in which agents may or may not share the same preferences over outcomes, provide opportunities for the agents to adapt to each other to become more successful. Successful agents must be able to reason and learn given the dynamic behavior of others. This is challenging for artificial agents since the non-stationarity of the environment does not lend itself well to straight-forward application of traditional machine learning methods. In this paper, we study the performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) in repeated matrix games (RMGs) played against other learning agents. In so doing, we consider how particular variations in the GA affect its performance. Our results show the potential of using GAs to learn and adapt in RMGs, and highlight important characteristics of successful GAs in these games. However, the GAs we consider do not always perform effectively in RMGs. Thus, we also discuss and analyze how human input could potentially be used to improve their performance in RMGs.
在许多现实世界的系统中,多个独立的实体(或代理)会重复交互。在这种重复的互动中,代理们可能会也可能不会对结果有相同的偏好,这为代理们相互适应以获得更大的成功提供了机会。成功的代理必须能够根据他人的动态行为进行推理和学习。这对人工智能体来说是一个挑战,因为环境的非平稳性并不适合传统机器学习方法的直接应用。在本文中,我们研究了遗传算法(GAs)在与其他学习智能体进行重复矩阵博弈(rmg)时的性能。在此过程中,我们考虑遗传算法中的特定变化如何影响其性能。我们的研究结果显示了在rmg中使用GAs学习和适应的潜力,并突出了这些游戏中成功的GAs的重要特征。然而,我们所考虑的GAs并不总是在rmg中有效地执行。因此,我们还讨论和分析了如何使用人工输入来提高他们在rmg中的表现。

This document presents a tool able to automatically gather data provided by real energy markets and to generate scenarios, capture and improve market players' profiles and strategies by using knowledge discovery processes in databases supported by artificial intelligence techniques, data mining algorithms and machine learning methods. It provides the means for generating scenarios with different dimensions and characteristics, ensuring the representation of real and adapted markets, and their participating entities. The scenarios generator module enhances the MASCEM (Multi-Agent Simulator of Competitive Electricity Markets) simulator, endowing a more effective tool for decision support. The achievements from the implementation of the proposed module enables researchers and electricity markets' participating entities to analyze data, create real scenarios and make experiments with them. On the other hand, applying knowledge discovery techniques to real data also allows the improvement of MASCEM agents' profiles and strategies resulting in a better representation of real market players' behavior. This work aims to improve the comprehension of electricity markets and the interactions among the involved entities through adequate multi-agent simulation.

The ensemble application of intention awareness and sentic computing techniques is hereby examined for sensemaking in joint-cognitive systems, particularly in symbiotic systems that incorporate human and associate systems. The developed framework, in particular, exploits not only situational information of the operating environment, but also causal and temporal dimensions, together with circumstantial semantics and sentics, that is, the conceptual and affective information associated with objects and actors of such an environment. The work also highlights the effects of synchronized sensemaking processes in enabling associate systems to recognize the state of human activity. Studying the phenomenon of sensemaking, in fact, has direct implications for the development of more tightly coupled <;human reasoner - associate system> pairs. Specifically, the military doctrine is examined as a family of relevant case studies to demonstrate the role and potential applications of such joint cognitive systems.
在此,我们研究了意图意识和感知计算技术在联合认知系统中的集成应用,特别是在包含人类和关联系统的共生系统中。特别是,开发的框架不仅利用了操作环境的情景信息,还利用了因果和时间维度,以及环境语义和语义,即与这种环境中的对象和行动者相关的概念和情感信息。这项工作还强调了同步意义生成过程在使关联系统识别人类活动状态中的作用。事实上,研究语义生成现象对更紧密耦合对的发展有着直接的影响。具体来说,军事理论作为一系列相关案例研究来研究,以展示这种联合认知系统的作用和潜在应用。

The work also highlights the effects of synchronized sensemaking processes in enabling associate systems to recognize the state of human activity.

Nowadays, a multitude of users benefits from social interactions, blogging, wiki in order to share their own contents with each other (i.e., user-generated content). In fact, both Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 applications have changed the knowledge sharing paradigm, and have introduced enabling features to foster information flow among users. Nevertheless, the availability of large amount of information targeted to human employment highlights reusing, reasoning and exploitation of available knowledge. Emerging Semantic Web technologies enable to codify information in a machine understandable way. Therefore, the latest web development trend is devoted to combine Web 2.0 features with semantic technologies (e.g. semantic tagging, semantic wiki). This scenario raises new requirements in terms of knowledge base extraction, update and maintenance. To this end, this work defines an ontology-based knowledge management platform that integrates methodologies aimed at supporting the life cycle of large and heterogeneous enterprise's knowledge bases. In particular, the defined architecture relies on hybrid methodologies which apply computational intelligence techniques and Semantic Web technologies to support Knowledge Extraction, Ontology Matching and Ontology Merging.
如今,大量用户从社交互动、博客、wiki中获益,以便彼此分享自己的内容(即用户生成的内容)。事实上,Web 2.0和Enterprise 2.0应用程序都改变了知识共享范式,并引入了支持功能来促进用户之间的信息流。然而,针对人类就业的大量信息的可用性突出了对现有知识的再利用、推理和利用。新兴的语义Web技术能够以机器可理解的方式对信息进行编码。因此,最新的web发展趋势是将web 2.0特性与语义技术(如语义标记、语义wiki)相结合。这种场景在知识库提取、更新和维护方面提出了新的需求。为此,本工作定义了一个基于本体的知识管理平台,该平台集成了旨在支持大型异构企业知识库生命周期的方法。特别是,该体系结构依赖于混合方法,该方法应用计算智能技术和语义Web技术来支持知识提取、本体匹配和本体合并。
