Narrative-based Understanding of Everyday Activities: An AI Cookbook, the second MUHAI volume was printed and presented to the Muhai project meeting in Venice, on the 12th of September.
The digital open access will be granted during autumn 2024.
The volume is the second of a series of three (please access the first one at this link).
The book ia edited by Luc Steels and Robert Porzel and focuses on theoretical research and concrete case studies about understanding everyday activities in the real world. The different papers push the state of the art in technologies needed to operationalize understanding: computational linguistics, semantic web technologies, cognitive robotics, mental and physical simulation, and generative AI. There are also contributions introducing data structures and strategies for integrating these components in the construction of integrative narrative networks and for more amenable user interfaces that provide better explanations, a crucial feature of human-centered AI. This volume also presents concrete benchmarks that exercise semantic forms of intelligence and reports on two operational examples meeting.
