- Experience of physical or virtual robots

- Multimodal data on the Web

 

in Technical Session # 5: Learning chaired by J. Storrs Hall 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.

Simon Levy presents Vector Symbolic Architectures: A New Building Material for Artificial General Intelligence by Simon Levy of Washington and Lee University and Ross Gayler

(I'd like to take a class from Simon Levy, he is a great teacher from what I could see. Sorry that the photo is poor of him here, but this particular slide mad me think and do quite a bit of homework to increased my understanding of this topic.)

 

The Need for New Representational Principles

(My notes on this, please feel free to add or clarify anything I have said, it is just my [poor] understanding.)

 

- Ecological Affordance introduced by James J. Gibson (1979), The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception (an interesting sidebar - this was about the last thing that Gibson published before his death in 1979 at age 75.) A number of his writings are on-line, published as the Purple Perils

 

- Distributed Connectionist Representations (PDP - which is Parallel Distributed Processing was the start of Connectionism I had colleagues who did research in this area in the early 1990s, at the time I was not as curious as I could have been, being wrapped up in some completely different projects. Now - I have begun to tie it together, funny how that works! The classic work was done by James McClelland, David Rumelhart and the PDP Research Group. They wrote a two volume book: Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition in 1986)

 

Holographic Representations Dennis Gabor 1971 and Plate 2003

I probably went down a related area with Karl Pribram's Holonomic brain theory but I need to do some more research about this.

What We Have Now

[brew note - four preconditions for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or at least what I made of it]

1. Better machines

- Fast computers internetworked, compute clouds

- Hardware is not the problem

 

2. Basic understanding of human cognition and brain

- basic understanding of human cognition and architecture.

- A cruder but useful understanding of brain structure and dynamics

 

3. Embodiment – Virtual and Physical

- Decent virtual worlds for AI embodiment

- Halfway-decent robot bodies

 

4. Theoretical understanding of AGI

- Lots of AI algorithms and representations

- often useful in specialized areas

- often not very scalable on their own

- a theoretical understanding of general intelligence under conditions

of massive computational resources

Speakers view 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 The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference. The AV technican that ran this did a superb job of keeping everything running smoothly, it was tremendous.

 

The following two paragraphs are an excerpt from an article in Digital Content Producer

 

THE ZONE

The large raked-seating arena, The Zone (as in Memphis-based AutoZone, one of the institute's major corporate partners), best represents the spirit of this project and the institute in general. More than 190 seats focus on a 9½-by-17-foot, 16:9 rear-projection screen in this forum for interactive education and collaborative research.

 

The gooseneck microphones sprouting from the crescent-shaped work surfaces indicate that this room is meant for two-way communications. The microphones are part of the Bosch DCN , a system of ministrations that incorporate an LCD screen, a keypad, and two-way audio. There are 194 such stations in The Zone. (This is the second-largest DCN installation in the world; the largest is in the General Assembly of the United Nations.)

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.

Matthew Ikle presents Probabilistic Quantifier Logic for General Intelligence: An Indefinite Probabilities Approach by Matthew Ikle and Ben Goertzel of Novamente

 

Indefinite Probability approach is a hybrid of Peter Walley's imprecise probability and Bayesian work.

Peter Walley's work is summarized in his book: Statistical Reasoning with Imprecise Probabilities

 

The topic of this talk, along with a later talk by Ben Goerzel How Might Probabilistic Reasoning Emerge from the Brain? will likely be covered in much more detail in a forthcoming (July, 2008) book Probabilistic Logic Networks: A Comprehensive Framework for Uncertain Inference by Ben Goertzel, Matthew Ikle , Izabela Lyon Freire Goertzel, and Ari Heljakka

Can be defined as a fully functional computational equivalent of the human mind in its higher cognitive abilities

 

Two approaches: piece-by-piece versus grow.

 

Sidenote:

Human brain is the last and grandest biological frontier,

the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.

Today, Narrow AI Dominates the AI Field

(in both academia and applications)

- Deep Blue can beat humans at chess until rules change e.g. Fischer Random Chess

- DARPA Grand Challenge - great leap forward but can't learn to drive different vehicles beside cars (trucks, boats, motorcycles)

- Google - fantastic but can't answer complex questions. What happened to Ask Jeeves?

 

[in general, to extend all these beyond a narrow domain requires human intervention]

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.

Pei Wang was one of the organizers of the AGI-08 conference. A key point that I got from his talk: "We should not rule out other forms of intelligence." He is the originatior of the NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) approach to Artificial General Intelligence.
