Motivation for Commonsense Reasoning (COMIRIT)

Benjamin Johnston presents: Comirit: Commonsense Reasoning by Integrating Simulation and Logic by Benjamin Johnston and Mary-Anne Williams is Research Professor and Director of the Innovation and Technology Research Laboratory. at The University of Technology, Sydney, Australia

 

The motivation for this work is to produce a middleware with real-world commonsense reasoning. The motivation is the failure of current logical commonsense reasoning systems.

 

in Technical Session # 4 : Reasoning chaired by Steve Omohundro of Self-Aware Systems at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)

 

Mary-Anne Williams is Research Professor and Director of the Innovation and Technology Research Laboratory.

 

This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.

 

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

 

Another good reference is Artificial General Intelligence : A Gentle Introduction by Pei Wang
