Human being are apparently able to communicate knowledge. However, it is impossible for us to know if we share the same representation of knowledge.
mOeX addresses the evolution of knowledge representations in individuals and populations. The ambition of the mOeX project is to answer, in particular, the following questions:
We will study them chiefly in a well-controlled computer science context.
For that purpose, we combine knowledge representation and cultural evolution methods. The former provides formal models of knowledge; the latter provides a well-defined framework for studying situated evolution.
We will consider knowledge as a culture and study the properties of adaptation operators applied by populations of agents by jointly:
We aim at acquiring a precise understanding of knowledge evolution through the consideration of a wide range of situations, representations and adaptation operators.
