Bridging the gap between symbolic and subsymbolic representations is a – perhaps the – key obstacle along the path from the present state of AI technology to human-level artificial general intelligence. A companion paper to this one describes a novel approach to achieiving this bridging via incorporation of a subsymbolic system and a symbolic system into a integrative cognitive architecture. Th...
