Towards a 50 msec Cognitive Cycle in a Graphical Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
Achieving a 50 msec cognitive cycle in any sufficiently sophisticated cognitive architecture can be a significant challenge. Here an investigation is begun into how to do this within a recently developed graphical architecture that is based on factor graphs (with the summary product algorithm) and piecewise continuous functions. Results are presented from three optimizations that leverage the structure of factor graphs to reduce the number of message cycles required per cognitive cycle.

Efficient Message Computation in Sigma’s Graphical Architecture
Human cognition runs at ~50 msec per cognitive cycle, implying that any biologically inspired cognitive architecture that strives for real-time performance needs to be able to run at this speed. Sigma is a cognitive architecture built upon graphical models – a broadly applicable state-of-the-art formalism for implementing cognitive capabilities – that are solved via message passing (with comple...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملFusing Symbolic and Decision-Theoretic Problem Solving + Perception in a Graphical Cognitive Architecture
A step is taken towards fusing symbolic and decision-theoretic problem solving in a cognitive architecture by implementing the latter in an architecture within which the former has already been demonstrated. The graphical models upon which the architecture is based enable a uniform implementation of both varieties of problem solving. They also enable a uniform combination with forms of decision...
متن کاملMental Imagery in a Graphical Cognitive Architecture
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 represen...
متن کاملCombining Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in a Graphical Architecture
A prototypical cognitive architecture defines a memory architecture embodying forms of both procedural and declarative memory, plus their interaction. Reengineering such a dual architecture on a common foundation of graphical models enables a better understanding of both the substantial commonalities between procedural and declarative memory and the subtle differences that endow each with its o...
