  • cobot in lambdamoo an adaptive Social Statistics agent
    Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2006
    Co-Authors: Charles L. Isbell, Michael Kearns, Christian R Shelton, Peter Stone, Satinder Singh, Dave Kormann
    Abstract:

    We describe our development of Cobot, a novel software agent who lives in LambdaMOO, a popular virtual world frequented by hundreds of users. Cobot's goal was to become an actual part of that community. Here, we present a detailed discussion of the functionality that made him one of the objects most frequently interacted with in LambdaMOO, human or artificial. Cobot's fundamental power is that he has the ability to collect Social Statistics summarizing the quantity and quality of interpersonal interactions. Initially, Cobot acted as little more than a reporter of this information; however, as he collected more and more data, he was able to use these Statistics as models that allowed him to modify his own behavior. In particular, cobot is able to use this data to "self-program," learning the proper way to respond to the actions of individual users, by observing how others interact with one another. Further, Cobot uses reinforcement learning to proactively take action in this complex Social environment, and adapts his behavior based on multiple sources of human reward. Cobot represents a unique experiment in building adaptive agents who must live in and navigate Social spaces.

  • the system of Social statistical datasets of Statistics netherlands an integral approach to the production of register based Social Statistics
    Statistical journal of the IAOS, 2014
    Co-Authors: B F M Bakker, J Van Rooijen, L Van Toor
    Abstract:

    More and more countries are using register data to replace traditional Censuses. Moreover, official Statistics as well as research are increasingly based on register data or combinations of survey and register data. Register-based Statistics offer wonderful new opportunities. At the same time, they require a new approach to how data are processed and managed. In this article, we present the System of Social statistical datasets (SSD), a system of interlinked and standardized registers and surveys. All production processes within Statistics Netherlands that pertain to Social or spatial Statistics converge in the SSD, which thus constitutes a shared output-oriented system. The SSD contains a wealth of information on persons, households, jobs, benefits, pensions, education, hospitalizations, crime reports, dwellings, vehicles and more. In the Netherlands it is the most important source for official Social Statistics and, because the data are available on request by means of remote access, also very popular in the Social sciences. This article describes the contents of the SSD as well as the underlying process and organization, and demonstrates its possibilities.
