Synopsis

This volume presents a computer model of human daydreaming to demonstrate how it is useful for creative problem solving and learning in both humans and computers. The model is implemented as the running computer program "Daydreaming", which takes simple descriptions of external world events as input and produces descriptions of daydreams and actions as output. The programme operates in the domain of interpersonal relations and common everyday occurrences. New artificial intelligence techniques are introduced, including emotion-driven planning, serendipity-based planning/learning, and perpetual planning. Psychological hypotheses are presented regarding day dreaming, the feedback relationship between emotions and daydreaming, and transfer in problem solving. Previous related work in artificial intelligence, psychology, and philosophy is reviewed and contrasted with the proposed model. Critiques of connectionist research and current cognitive science theories are also offered.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

DAYDREAMER is a cognitive architecture that models the human stream of thought and its triggering and direction by emotions, as in human daydreaming. DAYDREAMER includes: daydreaming goals: strategies for what to think about; emotional control of thought: triggering and direction of processing by emotions; hierarchical planning: achieving a goal by breaking it down into subgoals; analogical planning (chunking): storing successful plans and adapting them to future problems; episode indexing and retrieval: mechanisms for indexing and retrieval of cases; serendipity detection and application: a mechanism for recognizing and exploiting accidental relationships among problems; and action mutation: a strategy for generating new possibilities when the system is stuck. DAYDREAMER is implemented as 12,000 lines of Lisp code.
