Robby is Not a Robber (anymore): On the Use of Institutions for Learning Normative Behavior
Future robots should follow human social norms in order to be useful and accepted in human society. In this paper, we leverage already existing social knowledge in human societies by capturing it in our framework through the notion of social norms. We show how norms can be used to guide a reinforcement learning agent towards achieving normative behavior and apply the same set of norms over different domains. Thus, we are able to: (1) provide a way to intuitively encode social knowledge (through norms); (2) guide learning towards normative behaviors (through an automatic norm reward system); and (3) achieve a transfer of learning by abstracting policies; Finally, (4) the method is not dependent on a particular RL algorithm. We show how our approach can be seen as a means to achieve abstract representation and learn procedural knowledge based on the declarative semantics of norms and discuss possible implications of this in some areas of cognitive science.

Full-Stack Alignment: Co-Aligning AI and Institutions with Thick Models of Value
Beneficial societal outcomes cannot be guaranteed by aligning individual AI systems with the intentions of their operators or users. Even an AI system that is perfectly aligned to the intentions of its operating organiza…
Research Vision: Multi-Agent Path Planning for Cops And Robbers Via Reactive Synthesis
We propose the problem of multi-agent path planning for a generalization of the classic Cops and Robbers game via reactive synthesis. Specifically, through the application of LTLt and Coordination Synthesis, we aim to ch…

Interactions within human societies are usually regulated by social norms. If robots are to be accepted into human society, it is essential that they are aware of and capable of reasoning about social norms. In this pape…
RobBERT-2022: Updating a Dutch Language Model to Account for Evolving Language Use
Large transformer-based language models, e.g. BERT and GPT-3, outperform previous architectures on most natural language processing tasks. Such language models are first pre-trained on gigantic corpora of text and later …
