Program Type
Masters/PHD
Synopsis
Curious design agents are autonomous, motivated design systems capable of both problem-finding and problem-solving in complex design domains. This research project will develop computational models of curiosity, based on theory and methods from computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence, suitable for application in a wide range of design domains. In particular, it will develop a computational model of specific curiosity driven by the generation of interesting hypotheses.
