PhD Defence: Attributed Intelligence
Speaker: Marta Kryven, PhD Candidate
Human beings quickly and confidently attribute more or less intelligence to one another. What is meant by intelligence when they do so? And what are the surface features of human behavior that determine their judgments? Because the judges of success or failure in the quest for 'artificial intelligence' will be human, the answers to such questions are an essential part of cognitive science. This thesis studies such questions in the context of a maze world, complex enough to require non-trivial answers, and simple enough to analyze the answers in term of decision-making algorithms.
