Three Points - Hybrid Reasoning and the Future of Iconic Representations

Hybrid Reasoning and the Future of Iconic Representations by Catherine Recanati of Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'Université Paris Nord

 

Three Points - Hybrid Reasoning and the Future of Iconic Representations

1. Icons or diagrammatic objects can be used as first class citizens (= normal syntactical objects) in safe inferential systems.

 

2. Diagrammatic representations have a limited power of abstraction but are computationally very efficient.

 

3. Diagrammatic and logico-linguistic representations having dual and complementary properties, their combining in [Hybrid Reasoning Systems] HRS is very promising.

 

 

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

 

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
