Combining opinion pooling and evidential updating for multi-agent consensus (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lee, C., Lawry, J., & Winfield, A. (2018, July). Combining opinion pooling and evidential updating for multi-agent consensus. Paper presented at Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-18), Stockholm, Sweden

The evidence available to a multi-agent system can take at least two distinct forms. There can be direct evidence from the environment resulting, for example, from sensor measurements or from running tests or experiments. In addition, agents also gai...

Teaching machines to ask questions (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yao, K., Zhang, L., Luo, T., Tao, L., & Wu, Y. (2018, July). Teaching machines to ask questions. Paper presented at International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization, Stockholm, Sweden

We propose a novel neural network model that aims to generate diverse and human-like natural language questions. Our model not only directly captures the variability in possible questions by using a latent variable, but also generates certain types o... Read More about Teaching machines to ask questions.
