Towards Artificial Minds
نویسنده
چکیده
The ultimate goal of cognitive sciences is to understand how the mind works and the ultimate goal of neural modeling is to build the artificial mind. Short summary of the state of art in this field is given. The symbolic/neural points of view are complementary rather than exclusive. The Floating Gaussian Model (FGM) introduced in this paper facilitates both neural and symbolic interpretations: supervised and unsupervised learning and self-organization of knowledge on the neural side, direct modeling of conceptual space, learning from general laws and retrieval of facts via searching procedures on the symbolic side.

Principles of Artificial Economics in Animal Minds
This paper describes the results of a simulation using metrics associated with the principles of artificial economics in animal cognition. The main purpose of this research paper is to understand the principles of natural minds and adopt these principles in a simulation environment. This approach necessasarily requires the design and test of a range of simple and complex computational agents. T...
متن کاملEliasmith, C. (2015). On the Eve of Artificial Minds
I review recent technological, empirical, and theoretical developments related to building sophisticated cognitive machines. I suggest that rapid growth in robotics, brain-like computing, new theories of large-scale functional modeling, and financial resources directed at this goal means that there will soon be a significant increase in the abilities of artificial minds. I propose a specific ti...

This paper presents the initial results in the design of a society of agents using the concept of optimal qualities of animal cognition. The main purpose of this research paper is to understand the principles of natural minds and adopt these principles to simulate artificial minds. These approaches necessarily require the design, testing and computational analysis of both simple and complex age...
متن کاملTaking a Mental Stance Towards Artificial Systems
This paper argues that supervised cognitive growth in artifacts will be very difficult to achieve without detailed knowledge about systems‟ internal states. Physical information is too low level to provide a useful understanding of a system‟s behavior, and it is more pragmatically useful to take a mental stance towards an artificial system and interpret its actions in terms of mental states. Th...
متن کاملTowards Avatars with Artificial Minds: Role of Semantic Memory
A lot of efforts in constructing interfaces based on natural language processing (NLP) have been devoted to cheating the user that the program understands the meaning of the words. Since the famous “Eliza” program of Weizenbaum [1] chatterbots attempt to discover keywords and sustain dialog by asking pre-prepared questions without understanding the subject of conversation or the meaning of indi...
