{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"AToM: An Analogical Theory of Mind","authors":[{"name":"Irina Rabkina","slug":"irina-rabkina","given":"Irina","family":"Rabkina","affiliation":""}],"abstract":"Theory of Mind (ToM) has been well studied in psychology. It is what gives adults the ability to predict other people’s beliefs, desires, and related actions. When ToM is not yet developed, as in young children, social interaction is difficult. A cognitive system that interacts with humans on a regular basis would benefit from having a ToM. In this extended abstract, I propose a computational model of ToM, Analogical Theory of Mind (AToM), based on Bach’s [2012, 2014] theoretical Structure-Mapping model of ToM. Completed work demonstrates the plausibility of AToM. Future steps include a full implementation and test of AToM.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/761","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/761","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0761.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/761.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/761","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Doctoral Consortium","track":"Doctoral Consortium","number":761,"pages":{"first":5203,"last":5204},"keywords":["Artificial Intelligence: cognitive science","Artificial Intelligence: artificial intelligence","Artificial Intelligence: computer science"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Bach, 2011] Theodore Bach.
