Towards digital cognitive clones for the decision-makers: adversarial training experiments

There can be many reasons for anyone to make a digital copy (clone) of own decision-making behavior. This enables virtual presence of a professional decision-maker simultaneously in many places and processes of Industry 4.0. Such clone can be used as one’s responsible representative when the human is not available. Pi-Mind (“Patented Intelligence”) is a technology, which enables “cloning” cognitive skills of humans using adversarial machine learning. In this paper, we present a cyber-physical environment as an adversarial learning ecosystem for cloning image classification skills. The physical component of the environment is provided by the logistic laboratory with camera-surveillance over the conveyors. The digital component of the environment contains special modifications of Generative Adversarial Networks, which include a human-operator as a trainer, an autonomous Pi-Mind clone as a trainee (a discriminator) and a smart digital adversary as a challenger (generator of sophisticated decision situations, emergencies and attacks, which supposedly catalyzes the cloning process).
