Individual and Collective Reasoning

Drawing 'knowledge glow' of two heads with interconnected, floating knowledge structures.

The interdisciplinary research group Individual and Collective Reasoning (ICR) within the CSC research unit is guided by the insight that intelligent systems are characterized not only by their individual reasoning capacity, but also by their social interaction potential. Our overarching goal is to develop and investigate formal models and computational realizations of individual and collective rationality. This includes in particular the generalization of existing frameworks for single agent reasoning to multi-agent communities, the modeling and study of interactions between agents in complex social environments, and the development of generalized inference techniques, e.g. for aggregating conflicting evidence and norms.
