• Authors: Gustavo Assun\c{c}\~ao, Miguel Castelo-Branco, Paulo Menezes
• Abstract summary: Exploration of the physical environment is an indispensable precursor to data acquisition and enables knowledge generation via analytical or direct trialing. This work links human behavior and artificial agents to endorse self-development. A study is subsequently designed to mirror previous human trials, which artificial agents are made to undergo repeatedly towards convergence. Results demonstrate causality, learned by the vast majority of agents, between their internal states and exploration to match those reported for human counterparts.

• Abstract: Exploration of the physical environment is an indispensable precursor to data acquisition and enables knowledge generation via analytical or direct trialing. Artificial Intelligence lacks the exploratory capabilities of even the most underdeveloped organisms, hindering its autonomy and adaptability. Supported by cognitive psychology, this works links human behavior and artificial agents to endorse self-development. In accordance with reported data, paradigms of epistemic and achievement emotion are embedded to machine-learning methodology contingent on their impact when decision making. A study is subsequently designed to mirror previous human trials, which artificial agents are made to undergo repeatedly towards convergence. Results demonstrate causality, learned by the vast majority of agents, between their internal states and exploration to match those reported for human counterparts. The ramifications of these findings are pondered for both research into human cognition and betterment of artificial intelligence.

• Probing for Consciousness in Machines [3.196204482566275]
  This study explores the potential for artificial agents to develop core consciousness. The emergence of core consciousness relies on the integration of a self model, informed by representations of emotions and feelings, and a world model. Our results demonstrate that the agent can form rudimentary world and self models, suggesting a pathway toward developing machine consciousness.

  We show that it is possible to replicate human behavioral data in both individual and social task settings by modifying the precision of prior and sensory signals. An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

  Intuitive psychology is the ability to reason about hidden mental variables that drive observable actions. Despite recent interest in machine agents that reason about other agents, it is not clear if such agents learn or hold the core psychology principles that drive human reasoning. We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.
