GOMA: Proactive Embodied Cooperative Communication via Goal-Oriented Mental Alignment

no code implementations17 Mar 2024 Lance Ying, Kunal Jha, Shivam Aarya, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Antonio Torralba, Tianmin Shu

GOMA formulates verbal communication as a planning problem that minimizes the misalignment between the parts of agents' mental states that are relevant to the goals.

Pragmatic Instruction Following and Goal Assistance via Cooperative Language-Guided Inverse Planning

1 code implementation27 Feb 2024 Tan Zhi-Xuan, Lance Ying, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

Our agent assists a human by modeling them as a cooperative planner who communicates joint plans to the assistant, then performs multimodal Bayesian inference over the human's goal from actions and language, using large language models (LLMs) to evaluate the likelihood of an instruction given a hypothesized plan.

Grounding Language about Belief in a Bayesian Theory-of-Mind

no code implementations16 Feb 2024 Lance Ying, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Lionel Wong, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua Tenenbaum

In this paper, we take a step towards an answer by grounding the semantics of belief statements in a Bayesian theory-of-mind: By modeling how humans jointly infer coherent sets of goals, beliefs, and plans that explain an agent's actions, then evaluating statements about the agent's beliefs against these inferences via epistemic logic, our framework provides a conceptual role semantics for belief, explaining the gradedness and compositionality of human belief attributions, as well as their intimate connection with goals and plans.

Inferring the Goals of Communicating Agents from Actions and Instructions

no code implementations28 Jun 2023 Lance Ying, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

When humans cooperate, they frequently coordinate their activity through both verbal communication and non-verbal actions, using this information to infer a shared goal and plan.

Accounting for Variations in Speech Emotion Recognition with Nonparametric Hierarchical Neural Network

1 code implementation9 Sep 2021 Lance Ying, Amrit Romana, Emily Mower Provost

In recent years, deep-learning-based speech emotion recognition models have outperformed classical machine learning models.
