AISB 2005 Minding Minds
The symposium "Mind-Minding Agents" is concerned with models of the social interaction of agents that build on the idea of a theory of mind.

Key research interests: Involved in research on embodied conversational agents and face-to-face interactions between human agents, I am primarily interested in modelling the way conversations influence and are influenced by the emotions of the participants. This involves building richer dialogue management models that take into account the mental state of speaker and hearer when planning and executing a multi-modal conversational act (linguistic and nonverbal) and in interpreting multi-modal acts. |
Agent-based modeling of human social behavior is an increasingly important research area but theory of mind has too often been ignored in computational models of social interaction.
Contributions from all relevant disciplines are invited: psychology, social theory, linguistics, multi-agent systems, etetera. Contributions could be about fundamental theories, computational models, experiments and applications. The following are some typical questions that could be addressed.
