Desiderata for cognitive architectures
نویسنده
چکیده
This article addresses issues in developing cognitive architectures—generic computational models of cognition. Cognitive architectures are believed to be essential in advancing understanding of the mind, and therefore, developing cognitive architectures is an extremely important enterprise in cognitive science. The article proposes a set of essential desiderata for developing cognitive architectures. It then moves on to discuss in detail some of these desiderata and their associated concepts and ideas relevant to developing better cognitive architectures. It argues for the importance of taking into full consideration these desiderata in developing future architectures that are more cognitively and ecologically realistic. A brief and preliminary evaluation of existing cognitive architectures is attempted on the basis of these ideas.

The Sigma Cognitive Architecture and System: Towards Functionally Elegant Grand Unification
Sigma (Σ) is a cognitive architecture and system whose development is driven by a combination of four desiderata: grand unification, generic cognition, functional elegance, and sufficient efficiency. Work towards these desiderata is guided by the graphical architecture hypothesis, that key to progress on them is combining what has been learned from over three decades’ worth of separate work on ...
متن کاملBridging Dichotomies in Cognitive Architectures for Virtual Humans
Desiderata for cognitive architectures that are to support the extent of human-level intelligence required in virtual humans imply the need to bridge a range of dichotomies faced by such architectures. The focus here is first on two general approaches to building such bridges – addition and reduction – and then on a pair of general tools – graphical models and piecewise continuous functions – t...

Cognitive Architectures have been an active area of research for more than two decades, starting from well-known examples such as ACT-R. Beyond modeling human performance, one of the promising domains of application of cognitive architectures is in real-world embodied situated systems, such as robots. However, most of the existing systems have failed to be used widely, arguably for a number of ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) initially aimed at creating “thinking machines,” that is, computer systems having human level general intelligence. However, AI research has until recently focused on creating intelligent, but highly domain-specific, systems. Currently, researchers are again undertaking the original challenge of creating AI systems (agents) capable of human-level intelligence, or “a...
متن کاملSome Computational Desiderata for Recognizing and Reasoning About the Intentions of Others
Reasoning about intentional action is a pervasive and critical skill in the human cognitive repertoire. Intentions have taken center-stage in discussions of how humans parse perceptual input, understand language, make moral judgments, and predict the behavior of conspecifics. In the quest to engineer machine intelligence, intentions have largely either been ignored entirely, or have been given ...
