[PDF][PDF] Goal-based imitation as probabilistic inference over graphical models

D Verma, RP Rao - Advances in neural information …, 2005 - machinelearning.wustl.edu
Abstract Humans are extremely adept at learning new skills by imitating the actions of
others. A progression of imitative abilities has been observed in children, ranging from
imitation of simple body movements to goalbased imitation based on inferring intent. In ...

Behavioral cues to others' motivation and goal pursuits: The perception of effort facilitates goal inference and contagion

G Dik, H Aarts - Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2007 - Elsevier
Recent research demonstrates that people spontaneously, ie, without conscious intent, infer
and pursue the goals perceived in others' behavior, a phenomenon termed goal contagion
[Aarts, H., Gollwitzer, P., & Hassin, RR (2004). Goal contagion: perceiving is for pursuing. ...

[PDF][PDF] Goal inference as inverse planning

CL Baker, JB Tenenbaum, RR Saxe - … of the 29th annual meeting of …, 2007 - web.mit.edu
Abstract Infants and adults are adept at inferring agents' goals from incomplete or
ambiguous sequences of behavior. We propose a framework for goal inference based on
inverse planning, in which observers invert a probabilistic generative model of goal- ...

Parsing video events with goal inference and intent prediction

M Pei, Y Jia, SC Zhu - 2011 International Conference on …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Abstract In this paper, we present an event parsing algorithm based on Stochastic Context
Sensitive Grammar (SCSG) for understanding events, inferring the goal of agents, and
predicting their plausible intended actions. The SCSG represents the hierarchical ...

Help or hinder: Bayesian models of social goal inference

T Ullman, C Baker, O Macindoe, O Evans… - Advances in neural …, 2009 - papers.nips.cc
Abstract Everyday social interactions are heavily influenced by our snap judgments about
others goals. Even young infants can infer the goals of intentional agents from observing
how they interact with objects and other agents in their environment: eg, that one agent ...

Action parsing and goal inference using self as simulator

J Gray, C Breazeal, M Berlin, A Brooks… - ROMAN 2005. IEEE …, 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Abstract—The ability to understand a teammate's actions in terms of goals and other mental
states is an important element of cooperative behavior. Simulation Theory argues in favor of
an embodied approach whereby humans reuse parts of their cognitive structure for not ...

[PDF][PDF] Theory-based social goal inference

CL Baker, ND Goodman, JB Tenenbaum - Proceedings of the thirtieth …, 2008 - Citeseer
Abstract Everyday human interaction relies on making inferences about social goals: goals
that an intentional agent adopts in relation to another agent, such as “chasing”,“fleeing”,“
approaching”,“avoiding”,“helping” or “hindering”. We present a computational model of ...

A dynamic field approach to goal inference and error monitoring for human-robot interaction

E Bicho, L Louro, N Hipólito, W Erlhagen - 2009 - repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt
In this paper we present results of our ongoing research on non-verbal human-robot
interaction that is heavily inspired by recent experimental findings about the neuro-cognitive
mechanisms supporting joint action in humans. The robot control architecture implements ...
