Mental Imagery in a Graphical Cognitive Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
Can mental imagery be incorporated uniformly into a cognitive architecture by leveraging the mixed (relational and probabilistic) hybrid (discrete and continuous) processing supported by factor graphs? This article takes an initial step towards answering this question via an implementation in a graphical cognitive architecture of a version of the Eight Puzzle based on a hybrid function representation and a factor node optimized for object translation.

Towards Incorporating Visual Imagery into a Cognitive Architecture
This paper presents a synthesis of cognitive architecture and visual imagery. Visual imagery is a mental process that relies both on cognitive and perceptual mechanisms and is useful for tasks requiring visual-feature and visual-spatial reasoning. Using visual imagery as motivation, we have extended the Soar cognitive architecture to support the construction, transformation, generation, and ins...
متن کاملExtending Cognitive Architectures with Mental Imagery
Inspired by mental imagery, we present results of extending a symbolic cognitive architecture (Soar) with general computational mechanisms to support reasoning with symbolic, quantitative spatial, and visual depictive representations. Our primary goal is to achieve new capabilities by combining and manipulating these representations using specialized processing units specific to a modality but ...
متن کاملExtending Mental Imagery in Sigma
This article presents new results on implementing mental imagery within the Sigma cognitive architecture. Rather than amounting to a distinct module, mental imagery is based on the same primitive, hybrid mixed, architectural mechanisms as Sigma’s other cognitive capabilities. The work here demonstrates the creation and modification of compound images, the transformation of individual objects wi...
متن کاملCognitive Modeling for Assisted Graphical Design
Human reasoning about spatial environments, sketching and drawing in design , or solving of spatial configuration tasks often involves utilizing external graphical representations such as sketches, maps, or diagrams as well as mental spatio-analogical representations (e.g. in a visuo-spatial format, such as employed and constructed in mental imagery). Processes involved in the reasoning include...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
