Modeling human intention inference in continuous 3D domains by inverse planning and body kinematics
Yingdong Qian, Marta Kryven, Tao Gao +2
How to build AI that understands human intentions, and uses this knowledge to collaborate with people? We describe a computational framework for evaluating models of goal inference…
Emergent Graphical Conventions in a Visual Communication Game
Shuwen Qiu, Sirui Xie, Lifeng Fan +4
Humans communicate with graphical sketches apart from symbolic languages. Primarily focusing on the latter, recent studies of emergent communication overlook the sketches; they do…
Modeling Communication to Coordinate Perspectives in Cooperation
Stephanie Stacy, Chenfei Li, Minglu Zhao +4
Communication is highly overloaded. Despite this, even young children are good at leveraging context to understand ambiguous signals. We propose a computational account of overload…
Individual vs. Joint Perception: a Pragmatic Model of Pointing as Communicative Smithian Helping
Kaiwen Jiang, Stephanie Stacy, Chuyu Wei +4
The simple gesture of pointing can greatly augment ones ability to comprehend states of the world based on observations. It triggers additional inferences relevant to ones task at…
Learning Triadic Belief Dynamics in Nonverbal Communication from Videos
Lifeng Fan, Shuwen Qiu, Zilong Zheng +3
Humans possess a unique social cognition capability; nonverbal communication can convey rich social information among agents. In contrast, such crucial social characteristics are m…
Joint Inference of States, Robot Knowledge, and Human (False-)Beliefs
Tao Yuan, Hangxin Liu, Lifeng Fan +4
Aiming to understand how human (false-)belief--a core socio-cognitive ability--would affect human interactions with robots, this paper proposes to adopt a graphical model to unify…
Dark, Beyond Deep: A Paradigm Shift to Cognitive AI with Humanlike Common Sense
Yixin Zhu, Tao Gao, Lifeng Fan +9
Recent progress in deep learning is essentially based on a "big data for small tasks" paradigm, under which massive amounts of data are used to train a classifier for a single narr…
Measuring and modeling the perception of natural and unconstrained gaze in humans and machines
Daniel Harari, Tao Gao, Nancy Kanwisher +2
Humans are remarkably adept at interpreting the gaze direction of other individuals in their surroundings. This skill is at the core of the ability to engage in joint visual attent…
When Computer Vision Gazes at Cognition
Tao Gao, Daniel Harari, Joshua Tenenbaum +1
Joint attention is a core, early-developing form of social interaction. It is based on our ability to discriminate the third party objects that other people are looking at. While i…
