Is Neurocomputational Self-Organization a Core Mechanism of AGI Systems?
نویسنده
چکیده
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a term that describes a variant of a Strong AI revival in the mind sciences. Irrespective of its definition limits, and leaving aside the non-scientific metaphysical or philosophical aspirations, AGI studies the feasibility and implementation aspects of artificial systems that would have the capacity of domain non-specific (domaingeneral) human-level intelligence. The importance of self-organization in natural neural systems as well as in neuromimetic computational systems, especially the class of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural networks, has been extensively demonstrated and supported in the literature. Neurocomputational self-organization exhibits unique characteristics, including non-deterministic epigenetic (post-genetic) behavior, which enable direct functional and structural comparisons with the neocortex more than most existing relevant computational mechanisms. If the problem of artificial general intelligence is approached from a biologically relevant computational standpoint then SOM mechanisms are currently a very strong candidate as a core component of a computational AGI system.

Urban self-organization in practice: identifying a model for understanding collective action in neighborhoods of Sabzevar City
Introduction: Studies show that the concept of urban self-organization can pave the way for researchers to achieve actual citizen participation. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a significant cognitive gap in this field in Iran. Due to the contextual nature of urban self-organization, to use this concept in the development of the country's neighborhoods, one must first understand ...
متن کاملDifferent Conceptions of Learning: Function Approximation vs. Self-Organization
This paper compares two understandings of “learning” in the context of AGI research: algorithmic learning that approximates an input/output function according to given instances, and inferential learning that organizes various aspects of the system according to experience. The former is how “learning” is often interpreted in the machine learning community, while the latter is exemplified by the...
متن کاملThe Role of Specialized Intelligent Body-System Networks in Guiding General-Purpose Cognition
Human cognition is portrayed as involving a highly flexible, self-organizing ”cognitive network”, closely coupled with a number of more specific intelligent ”body-system networks” – e.g. those associated with the perceptual and motor systems, the heart, the digestive system, the liver, and the immune and endocrine systems, all of which have been shown to have their own adaptive intelligence. Th...
متن کاملBrain Organization and Computation
Theories of how the brain computes can be differentiated in three general conceptions: the algorithmic approach, the neural information processing (neurocomputational) approach and the dynamical systems approach. The discussion of key features of brain organization (i.e. structure with function) demonstrates the self-organizing character of brain processes at the various spatio-temporal scales....
متن کاملComputational Approaches to Neural Reward and Development
Despite much progress in brain and cognitive sciences, attempts to connect brain function to cognition are hampered by the large explanatory gap between psychology and neurobiology. In recent years, a neurocomputational perspective has emerged as the most promising approach to integrating brain and mind. According to this perspective, the brain is a special sort of computer, a system of many pa...
