Towards Artificial Social Intelligence: A Hierarchical Computational Framework for Social Interaction Understanding.

In addition to a physical comprehension of the world, humans possess a high social intelligence—the intelligence that senses social events infers the mental states of others, and facilitates social interaction. We believe that Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI) will play a crucial role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI). We propose a new hierarchical computational framework for social interaction understanding.
