Abstract

This paper presents aspects of the cognitive equipment of an anthropomorphic interface agent. It presents methods for the identification and modification of short-term memory episodes for their immediate use in interaction with the anthropomorphic interface agent MAX (Multimodal Assembly Expert) as well as for storing conceptualisations of modified episodes in long-term memory. This is done with a mapping of a sequence of construction steps to long-term knowledge represented in a semantic net for the identification of an episode on one hand and dynamically augmenting this long-term memory to achieve a learning effect when modifications of episodes occur in discourse on the other hand. Discourse subject is the cooperative assembly of a toy kit aeroplane. The goal of this work is to comply with user expectations of cognitive abilities that arise because of the anthropoid appearance and motor abilities of MAX.
