In this seminar we will investigate the different aspects of socially intelligent agents with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the individual structures that are necessary for the creation of adaptive and lifelike social agents.
Both the well established and current state of the art methods will be investigated individually or in a small group by choosing one of the available topics and giving a half-hour talk, as well as an extended essay on that topic.
The focus of the state of the art methods will be on machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms, by focusing on the topics:
Reinforcement approaches to cooperative behaviour
Social behaviour synthesis
Intrinsically Motivated Open-Ended Learning
Socially-Aware Robot interaction
Due to the current situation, the course will be offered exclusively as an online course in the summer semester 2021.
