This paper aims at addressing this question. To this end, this paper proposes an architecture for norm identification for an agent. The architecture is based on observation of interactions between agents. This architecture enables an autonomous agent to identify the norms in a society using the Candidate Norm Inference (CNI) algorithm. The CNI algorithm uses association rule mining approach to identify sequences of events as candidate norms. When a norm changes, the agent using our architecture will be able to modify the norm and also remove a norm if it does not hold in its society. Using simulations we demonstrate how an agent makes use of the norm identification framework.}, + Address = {Dunedin, New Zealand}, + Author = {Bastin Tony Roy Savarimuthu and Stephen Cranefield and Maryam A.

In this paper we propose a novel framework that deals with novelty detection for multiple-scene image sets. Working with wildlife image data, the framework starts with image segmentation, followed by feature extraction and classification of the image blocks extracted from image segments. The labelled image blocks are then scanned through to generate a co-occurrence matrix of object labels, representing the semantic context within the scene. The semantic co-occurrence matrices then undergo binarization and principal component analysis for dimension reduction, forming the basis for constructing one-class models for each scene category. An algorithm for outlier detection that employs multiple one-class models is proposed. An advantage of our approach is that it can be used for scene classification and novelty detection at the same time. Our experiments show that the proposed approach algorithm gives favourable performance for the task of detecting novel wildlife scenes, and binarization of the label co-occurrence matrices helps to significantly increase the robustness in dealing with the variation of scene statistics.}, Address = {Dunedin, New Zealand}, @@ -217,18 +232,19 @@ Type = {Discussion paper}, Year = {2009}} -@techreport{dp2010-03, - Abstract = {In normative multi-agent systems, the question of ``how an agent identifies a norm in an agent society'' has not received much attention.
