Theoretical Foundations of Artificial General Intelligence by Ben Goertzel, Pei Wang

By Ben Goertzel, Pei Wang

This ebook is a set of writings by way of lively researchers within the box of man-made basic Intelligence, on issues of primary value within the box. each one bankruptcy specializes in one theoretical challenge, proposes a singular answer, and is written in sufficiently non-technical language to be comprehensible by means of complicated undergraduates or scientists in allied fields. This publication is the first actual assortment within the box of man-made normal Intelligence (AGI) concentrating on theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical concerns within the production of pondering machines. all of the authors are researchers actively constructing AGI initiatives, hence distinguishing the booklet from a lot of the theoretical cognitive technology and AI literature, that's normally particularly divorced from useful AGI process construction matters. And the discussions are awarded in a fashion that makes the issues and proposed suggestions comprehensible to a large readership of non-specialists, offering a contrast from the magazine and conference-proceedings literature. The publication will gain AGI researchers and scholars via giving them a superb orientation within the conceptual foundations of the sphere (which isn't really at the moment on hand anywhere); and it'll gain researchers in allied fields by way of giving them a high-level view of the present kingdom of pondering within the AGI box. in addition, by way of addressing key issues within the box in a coherent means, the gathering as a complete might play a major function in guiding destiny study in either theoretical and functional AGI, and in linking AGI study with paintings in allied disciplines

This process suggests to us that he previously understood the transitivity of weight, analogically inferred that Pstop was similarly transitive, and formed an easily testable hypothesis. ” Although we have stated that complete psychological plausibility is not a primary goal of our simulation (it focuses more on possible ways in which analogical and deductive reasoning can interact), we should note here that Piaget himself was suspicious of the existence of analogical reasoning in children who have not yet reached Stage III.

But in PAGI, the bottom line is “getting the job done,” and in fact we assume that i-p machines will, “under the hood,” depart from human techniques. (3) The third point in our answer flows from the second, and is simply a reminder that while in the human sphere the scoring of tests of mental ability is indeed constrained by comparison to other human test-takers (an IQ “score,” after all, is meaningless without relative comparison to other humans who take the relevant test), PAGI is founded upon a much more coarse-grained view of intelligence tests — a view according to which, for instance, a perfect score on the part of an i-p artifact indicates that it’s intelligent simpliciter, not that it’s intelligent within some humancentric continuum.

Semantic knowledge is represented using a special predicate Semantic_Prop, which simply connects an object to its relevant semantic unit. For example, Semantic_Prop(bill,tall) and Semantic_Prop( jim,tall) connect the objects bill and jim to the semantic unit tall. D is then subjected to reasoning by analogical inference. To do this, D must first be divided into two subsets: Dsource and Dtarget . Note that these two subsets need not be mutually exclusive or collectively exhaustive — they only need to each be subsets of D.
