To engage in human-like dialogue, robots require the ability to describe the objects, locations, and people in their environment, a capability known as Referring Expression Generation. As speakers repeatedly refer to similar objects, they tend to re-use properties from previous descriptions, in part to help the listener, and in part due to cognitive availability of those properties in working memory (WM). Because different theories of working memory forgetting necessarily lead to differences in cognitive availability, we hypothesize that they will similarly result in generation of different referring expressions. To design effective intelligent agents, it is thus necessary to determine how different models of forgetting may be differentially effective at producing natural human-like referring expressions. In this work, we computationalize two candidate models of working memory forgetting within a robot cognitive architecture, and demonstrate how they lead to cognitive availability-based differences in generated referring expressions.

Intelligent robots designed to interact with humans in real scenarios need to be able to refer to entities actively by natural language. In spatial referring expression generation, the ambiguity is unavoidable due to the diversity of reference frames
, which will lead to an understanding gap between humans and robots. To narrow this gap, in this paper, we propose a novel perspective-corrected spatial referring expression generation (PcSREG) approach for human-robot interaction by considering the selection of reference frames. The task of referring expression generation is simplified into the process of generating diverse spatial relation units. First, we pick out all landmarks in these spatial relation units according to the entropy of preference and allow its updating through a stack model. Then all possible referring expressions are generated according to different reference frame strategies. Finally, we evaluate every expression using a probabilistic referring expression resolution model and find the best expression that satisfies both of the appropriateness and effectiveness. We implement the proposed approach on a robot system and empirical experiments show that our approach can generate more effective spatial referring expressions for practical applications.
This paper presents INGRESS, a robot system that follows human natural language instructions to pick and place everyday objects. The core issue here is the grounding of referring expressions: infer objects and their relationships from input images an
d language expressions. INGRESS allows for unconstrained object categories and unconstrained language expressions. Further, it asks questions to disambiguate referring expressions interactively. To achieve these, we take the approach of grounding by generation and propose a two-stage neural network model for grounding. The first stage uses a neural network to generate visual descriptions of objects, compares them with the input language expression, and identifies a set of candidate objects. The second stage uses another neural network to examine all pairwise relations between the candidates and infers the most likely referred object. The same neural networks are used for both grounding and question generation for disambiguation. Experiments show that INGRESS outperformed a state-of-the-art method on the RefCOCO dataset and in robot experiments with humans.
Computational context understanding refers to an agents ability to fuse disparate sources of information for decision-making and is, therefore, generally regarded as a prerequisite for sophisticated machine reasoning capabilities, such as in artifici
al intelligence (AI). Data-driven and knowledge-driven methods are two classical techniques in the pursuit of such machine sense-making capability. However, while data-driven methods seek to model the statistical regularities of events by making observations in the real-world, they remain difficult to interpret and they lack mechanisms for naturally incorporating external knowledge. Conversely, knowledge-driven methods, combine structured knowledge bases, perform symbolic reasoning based on axiomatic principles, and are more interpretable in their inferential processing; however, they often lack the ability to estimate the statistical salience of an inference. To combat these issues, we propose the use of hybrid AI methodology as a general framework for combining the strengths of both approaches. Specifically, we inherit the concept of neuro-symbolism as a way of using knowledge-bases to guide the learning progress of deep neural networks. We further ground our discussion in two applications of neuro-symbolism and, in both cases, show that our systems maintain interpretability while achieving comparable performance, relative to the state-of-the-art.
Central to the design of many robot systems and their controllers is solving a constrained blackbox optimization problem. This paper presents CNMA, a new method of solving this problem that is conservative in the number of potentially expensive black
box function evaluations; allows specifying complex, even recursive constraints directly rather than as hard-to-design penalty or barrier functions; and is resilient to the non-termination of function evaluations. CNMA leverages the ability of neural networks to approximate any continuous function, their transformation into equivalent mixed integer linear programs (MILPs) and their optimization subject to constraints with industrial strength MILP solvers. A new learning-from-failure step guides the learning to be relevant to solving the constrained optimization problem. Thus, the amount of learning is orders of magnitude smaller than that needed to learn functions over their entire domains. CNMA is illustrated with the design of several robotic systems: wave-energy propelled boat, lunar lander, hexapod, cartpole, acrobot and parallel parking. These range from 6 real-valued dimensions to 36. We show that CNMA surpasses the Nelder-Mead, Gaussian and Random Search optimization methods against the metric of number of function evaluations.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the opportunities and barriers of Integrated Human-Machine Intelligence (IHMI) in civil engineering. Integrating artificial intelligences high efficiency and repeatability with humans adaptability in various co
ntexts can advance timely and reliable decision-making during civil engineering projects and emergencies. Successful cases in other domains, such as biomedical science, healthcare, and transportation, showed the potential of IHMI in data-driven, knowledge-based decision-making in numerous civil engineering applications. However, whether the industry and academia are ready to embrace the era of IHMI and maximize its benefit to the industry is still questionable due to several knowledge gaps. This paper thus calls for future studies in exploring the value, method, and challenges of applying IHMI in civil engineering. Our systematic review of the literature and motivating cases has identified four knowledge gaps in achieving effective IHMI in civil engineering. First, it is unknown what types of tasks in the civil engineering domain can be assisted by AI and to what extent. Second, the interface between human and AI in civil engineering-related tasks need more precise and formal definition. Third, the barriers that impede collecting detailed behavioral data from humans and contextual environments deserve systematic classification and prototyping. Lastly, it is unknown what expected and unexpected impacts will IHMI have on the AEC industry and entrepreneurship. Analyzing these knowledge gaps led to a list of identified research questions. This paper will lay the foundation for identifying relevant studies to form a research roadmap to address the four knowledge gaps identified.
