5. Smart Things and Human Beings:
 Possess a proprietary belief as an
internal ontology or a “world view” – as
structured knowledge about environment
including peer things and beings
 Capable of adaptive behavior –
experiential self-learning in course of
interaction with environment and other
peers
 Communication with peers by means of
“open” (non-protocol) extensible linguistic
interfaces
AINL-2014, Anton Kolonin, Aigents Group 5

6. Proprietary belief as internal ontology
 Representing knowledge in graphs – a
semantic database
 Support for hyper-graphs – multiple
hierarchical levels of complexity, abstraction
and cross-dependency within single
database
 Special representation of time and
analysis of temporal dynamics
 Collaborative knowledge acquisition –
determination of truth value with account of
social links and trust levels

9. Adaptive behavior
 Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – as an
ability to derive a complex proprietary belief
and behavioral schemata corresponding to a
given environment, provided with minimal
“bootstrapping” (“seed”) belief and
schemata.
 “Toddler Turing test” - building the world
view and behavioral (conversational for the
given instance) schemata based on self-learning
with experiential feedback from the
environment.

10. Adaptive Robots around us – allies or opponents
User X

11. Extensible (non-protocol) linguistic interface
 Asynchronous and symmetric
communication protocols
 “Open” structure of a language based
on common “foundation ontology”
 Partial and probabilistic
comprehension of information out of
scope of “foundation ontology”
 Humane communication language

14. Experimental “Aigents Language” - example
My is appliance, agent, thermostat, device.
Device has shape, color, voltage.
Appliance has location.
My shape rectangular, color white, voltage 220, location kitchen.
My feels temperature, humidity, CO2, being.
Temperature, humidity, CO2 is number.
Feeling is good or bad.
My feeling good, temperature 20, humidity 72.
Моя это прибор, агент, термостат, устройство.
Моя иметь форма, цвет, питание.
Моя иметь место.
Моя форма прямоугольный, цвет белый, питание 220, место
кухня.
Температура, влажность, CO2 это число.
Чувстовать это хорошо, плохо.
Моя чувствовать хорошо, температура 20, влажность 72.

15. “Aigents Language” - comparisons
English
What is your feeling?
If your feeling is good?
Your feeling is good.
Have your feeling good!
Aigents Language
Your feeling?
Your feeling good?
Your feeling good.
Your feeling good!
Aigents Language - written
I (can (eat, sleep), want (dance, sing)).
I {can (eat, sleep), want (dance, sing)}.
I (can {eat, sleep}, want {dance, sing}).
You [eat {rice, meat}, drink {juice, water}]!
Aigents Language
A C (D,E).
A (C D, F G).
A (C (D,E), F (G,H)).
(A,B) C D.
(A,B) (C (D,E), F (G,H)).
Russian (with tonal modulation)
Твое ощущение? (rising tone)
Твое ощущение хорошее? (rising tone)
Твое ощущение хорошее. (neutral tone)
Твое ощущение хорошее! (lowering tone)
Aigents Language - spoken
I can eat and sleep and want dance and sing.
I can eat and sleep or want dance and sing.
I can eat or sleep and want dance or sing.
You eat rice and meat next drink juice and water!
