Summary on Grant Application Form
Recent prominent advances in statistical AI, such as the success of

driverless cars and Alpha Go's recent defeat of

the 9-dan ranked South Korean Go player Lee Se-dol have considerably

increased public awareness of the potential for computers to achieve

human-level competence in settings which were previously the exclusive

realm of human judgement and skill. However, in human terms

statistical AI techniques still act as skilled zombies, having

unconscious skills detached from the ability to express goals or intentions.

The lack of ability to communicate in a co-operative fashion with

human beings limits the long-term potential of these approaches

in many commercially and socially valuable settings.

The workshop will address issues related to interaction in which human co-operative and communicative skills

can be studied and modelled computationally. While many of these issues have

been prominent for some time in symbolic AI, we are yet

to see successful integration of statistical and symbolic AI approaches

which achieves the broad range of phenomena present in human behaviour.

This workshop aims to contribute to the objectives of the EPSRC's Human-Like

Computing priority area by crystalising the key issues which need to

be prioritised in this area.
