A Review of Findings from Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology as Possible Inspiration for the Path to Artificial General Intelligence
This review aims to contribute to the quest for artificial general
intelligence by examining neuroscience and cognitive psychology methods for
potential inspiration. Despite the impressive advancements achieved by deep
learning models in various domains, they still have shortcomings in abstract
reasoning and causal understanding. Such capabilities should be ultimately
integrated into artificial intelligence systems in order to surpass data-driven
limitations and support decision making in a way more similar to human
intelligence. This work is a vertical review that attempts a wide-ranging
exploration of brain function, spanning from lower-level biological neurons,
spiking neural networks, and neuronal ensembles to higher-level concepts such
as brain anatomy, vector symbolic architectures, cognitive and categorization
models, and cognitive architectures. The hope is that these concepts may offer
insights for solutions in artificial general intelligence.Comment: 143 pages, 49 figures, 244 reference
Reports on the 2013 AAAI fall symposium series
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence was pleased to present the 2013 Fall Symposium Series, held Friday through Sunday, November 15-17, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., USA. The titles of the five symposia were Discovery Informatics: AI Takes a Science- Centered View on Big Data (FS-13-01); How Should Intelligence Be Abstracted in AI Research: MDPs, Symbolic Representations, Artificial Neural Networks, or - ? (FS-13-02); Integrated Cognition (FS-13-03); Semantics for Big Data (FS- 13-04); and Social Networks and Social Contagion: Web Analytics and Computational Social Science (FS-13-05). The highlights of each symposium are presented in this report
