| Abstract | The subject of artifact or tool use is considered in many fields to be a vital area of research in the study of general human competence. Recently in artificial intelligence, formalizations of the mental attitudes of intentional agents have been extended to include agent capabilities with respect to artifacts or tools. We consider understanding how these individual capabilities are learned and how they evolve as important steps towards formally defining, representing and implementing complex group capabilities. In this paper, a theoretical model for artifact capability is extended to incorporate evolution and learning through exploratory methods. A representation of artifacts and the cognition of a rational agent that can learn artifact use are provided. Supervised learning is assumed and combined with historical knowledge and genetic algorithms to provide an implementation of a multi-agent simulation. The simulation is built to support an agent with the ability to learn an artifact capability through observations of its own behavior, as well as through observations of other agents in a social environment. Results obtained from the simple yet practical approach, show that learned use of artifacts outperforms random use and rational agents can learn artifact use more efficiently as a social species than on their own. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
