Abstract

In this interactive demo, we introduce a novel approach to grounded concept learning. Using the language game methodology, we set up a tutor-learner scenario where the learner is an autonomous agent, grounded in the world using a Nao humanoid robot, and the participant is its tutor. For each concept, the robot has to find out which data streams are important and what the typical values for each data stream within a concept are. To make these decisions, the learner makes use of the notion of discrimination, i.e. separating one particular object from the other objects in the scene. Over the course of many such interactions, the learner incrementally and in real-time builds a complete repertoire of concepts that is functional in the world. A video of the demonstration can be found at https://ehai.ai. vub.ac.be/demos/interactive-concept-learning.
