A.I.
A tool for learning or a crutch for relying?
How much inherent learning takes place when we investigate and research topics for ourselves, vs. our *trust* in A.I. engines to bring us the goods and drop it at our feet?
It's really just an Artificial Brain Machine. A search engine on steroids using conversational magic to cleverly second guess our next question and 'smart' enough to tell us what we want to hear. Then we fall in love and we go back for more. No need to challenge the Artificial Brain Machine. No proofreading. No vetting for references. No litmus test for Truth. Open wide. Breathe it in.
Maybe that's what I'll call it. An ABM. Because 'intelligence' is up for debate.

Our project, Agent-Based Modelling for Archaeologists, supported by @EUErasmusPlus is completed.
We created #Open #Educational Resources (OERs) for training #archaeologists in #ABM.
The final version of the tutorials and all resources are available: abmarchaeologists.github.io/AB

All material is also downloadable from:

We have a new pape on polarisation with an #ABM of naïve Bayesian agents. It ends a decade of thinking about #testimony from a #Bayesian perspective, so I thought I’d summarise that decade in a thread.

The Issue: Much of what we believe to ‘know’ we know through the testimony of others. Intuitively, how much I adjust my beliefs in response to you saying “it is snowing” should depend on how reliable/accurate you are (ie the likelihoods associated with your report) 1/9

#preprint We have a new #ABM called NormAN (for ‘Normative Argument Exchange Across Networks’) which we hope will help build bridges between research on #OpinionDynamics and #Argumentation research.

It captures the exchange of arguments by #Bayesian agents in a ground truth world based on a #CausalGraph. Code is #Netlogo with #R (netlogo python coming soon).

Take it for a spin!

arXiv.orgA Bayesian Agent-Based Framework for Argument Exchange Across NetworksIn this paper, we introduce a new framework for modelling the exchange of multiple arguments across agents in a social network. To date, most modelling work concerned with opinion dynamics, testimony, or communication across social networks has involved only the simulated exchange of a single opinion or single claim. By contrast, real-world debate involves the provision of numerous individual arguments relevant to such an opinion. This may include arguments both for and against, and arguments varying in strength. This prompts the need for appropriate aggregation rules for combining diverse evidence as well as rules for communication. Here, we draw on the Bayesian framework to create an agent-based modelling environment that allows the study of belief dynamics across complex domains characterised by Bayesian Networks. Initial case studies illustrate the scope of the framework.
