Modular Design Patterns for Hybrid Actors

Abstract: Recently, a boxology (graphical language) with design patterns for hybrid AI was proposed, combining symbolic and sub-symbolic learning and reasoning. In this paper, we extend this boxology with actors and their interactions. The main contributions of this paper are: 1) an extension of the taxonomy to describe distributed hybrid AI systems with actors and interactions; and 2) showing examples using a few design patterns relevant in multi-agent systems and human-agent interaction.
