Recent prominent advances in statistical AI, such as the success ofdriverless cars and Alpha Go's recent defeat ofthe 9-dan ranked South Korean Go player Lee Se-dol have considerablyincreased public awareness of the potential for computers to achievehuman-level competence in settings which were previously the exclusiverealm of human judgement and skill. However, in human termsstatistical AI techniques still act as skilled zombies, havingunconscious skills detached from the ability to express goals or intentions.The lack of ability to communicate in a co-operative fashion withhuman beings limits the long-term potential of these approachesin many commercially and socially valuable settings.The workshop will address issues related to interaction in which human co-operative and communicative skillscan be studied and modelled computationally. While many of these issues havebeen prominent for some time in symbolic AI, we are yetto see successful integration of statistical and symbolic AI approacheswhich achieves the broad range of phenomena present in human behaviour.This workshop aims to contribute to the objectives of the EPSRC's Human-LikeComputing priority area by crystalising the key issues which need tobe prioritised in this area.
