We are working on an Artificial Intelligence system for games. Our AI will learn autonomous agent behaviour in a 3D world. We are using the irrlicht 3D engine.

To create autonomous agents which will learn to use language to communicate with each other about the world they live in.

26/12-06: Code is in CVS. We are currently working on creating foraging behaviour in an ant colony using a pheromone system.

When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to descibe the thing you have been visualizing, you probably hunt about till you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are move inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning. Probably it is better to put off using words as long as possible and get one's meaning as clear as one can through pictures or sensations. Afterwards one can choose - not simply accept - the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch round and decide what impression one's words are likely to make on another person.
