Smart agents
The demand for intelligent driver models capable of handling complex trafc situations in a way that resembles human behavior arises from various application areas. In the context of Autonomous Driving, driver models replace human drivers, aiming at providing safe and fexible mobility solutions. It …

Cryptographic agents
Over the last decade or so, thanks to remarkable breakthroughs in cryptographic techniques, a wave of ''cryptographic objects'' -- identity-based encryption, fully-homomorphic encryption, functional encryption, and most recently, various forms of obfuscation -- have opened up exciting new …

Motivated Agents
Motivation is a powerful force that drives human action and behavior. It drives us to pursue our goals and aspirations and can significantly impact our decision-making processes. In the field of artificial intelligence, the most common method for modeling human action and decision-making is through …

Stealth agents
Traditionally, the nature of public space has had either the endorsement of commercial enterprises, or the advocacy of state or religious institutions. In both cases, the apparent power of public appropriation is underlaid by a surrendering of basic civil rights and the stripping of privacy. This …

Searching for Anticancer Agents and Antimalarial Agents from Madagascar
In our continuing search for biologically active natural products from Madagascar as part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) program, a total of four antiproliferative extracts were studied, leading to the isolation of twelve novel compounds with antiproliferative activity …

Visual questioning agents
… context, is an important step towards building agents which go beyond learning from a static knowledge base. The ability to request feedback is the first step in building intelligent agents which can incorporate this feedback to enhance learning. Visual questioning tasks help model this human …

Patches As Agents
… a dynamic structure made of thousands of patch agents. In this new framework, the traditional static terrain is now composed of a collection of independent patch agents, each with its own behaviors and traits. This transformation enables the patch agents to actively interact with each other and …

Novel Neuroblastoma Differentiating Agents
… developing novel neuroblastoma differentiating agents. A promising agent will induce differentiation while reducing the cancer cell viability. A high-content screening (HCS) was conducted to identify hit compounds. This screening measured neurite outgrowth, a phenotypic change which has been …

Feature reinforcement learning agents
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is currently an active research area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in which an agent interacts with an unknown environment in order to collect as much reward as possible. One of the most challenging problems in AI is the General Reinforcement Learning (GRL) problem …

Explanations for Autonomous Agents
… years have seen an accelerated development of agents and systems capable of sophisticated autonomous behaviour. As the consequences of such agents' actions begin to manifest in society, the need for understanding their decisions motivates the study of mechanisms for obtaining explanations that …

Ethics for artificial agents
… involved in the design of autonomous software agents ("artificial agents"). Chapter 1 of this thesis considers how best to understand the central projects of this new subfield, and reconstructs a prominent theory of how artificial agents ought to be designed. This theory, which I call the …

Algorithms for strategic agents
… directly, but instead reported by strategic agents with interests of their own? The unique challenge stems from the fact that the agents may choose to lie about the input in order to manipulate the behavior of the algorithm for their own interests, and tools from Game Theory are therefore …

Computing with strategic agents
… problems in the presence of strategic agents. A mechanism is an algorithm for allocating a resource among a group of participants, each of which has a privately-known value for any particular allocation. A mechanism is truthful if it is in each participant's best interest to reveal his …

Generic templates for monitoring agents
This thesis presents an agent-centric approach for monitoring IT resources, which enables the execution of preprocessing and aggregation steps directly on the target systems in order to limit data transfers to a central server and allow a local event detection and treatment. To keep the agent …
