Cognitive Architectures
Mind or Machines Cognitive Science Changing Artificial Intelligence
I am sure we have all heard about Sophia the robot, as most of us have been fixated on her journey for quite some time now. Like Sophia, who has been constructed using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, which has become one of the industry's most followed technology of the season, is being studied by many scientists and researchers to connect the distinctions between machines and humans. How do these machines run on AI technology allowing them to operate independently, learning from their environment to interact how humans do. Isn't it marvelous and something to be in awe of? As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still developing and advancing to claim the human-level intelligence, let us acknowledge the principles and methods it is deploying to improve the abilities of these machines to think like a human.
Analogy and Relational Representations in the Companion Cognitive Architecture
Forbus, Kenneth D. (Northwestern University) | Hinrich, Thomas (Northwestern University)
This includes the physical world, where qualitative representations have a long track record of providing human-level reasoning and performance (Forbus 2014), but also in social reasoning (for example, degrees of blame [Tomai and Forbus 2007]). Qualitative representations carve up continuous phenomena into symbolic descriptions that serve as a bridge between perception and cognition, facilitate everyday reasoning and communication, and help ground expert reasoning. We close with some lessons (Forbus, Klenk, and Hinrichs 2009) is on higher-order learned and open problems. In Newell's (1990) timescale proposed that analogy involves the construction of decomposition of cognitive phenomena, conceptual mappings between two structured, relational representations. Thus to the other, based on the correspondences), and a we approximate subsystems whose operations occur score indicating the overall quality of the match. For which one is trying to reason about, and hence inferences example, in Companions constraint checking and are made from base to target by default.
A Standard Model of the Mind: Toward a Common Computational Framework across Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Robotics
Laird, John E. (University of Michigan) | Lebiere, Christian (Carnegie Mellon University) | Rosenbloom, Paul S. (University of Southern California)
The proposed standard model began as an initial consensus at the 2013 AAAI Fall Symposium on Integrated Cognition, but is extended here through a synthesis across three existing cognitive architectures: ACT-R, Sigma, and Soar. The resulting standard model spans key aspects of structure and processing, memory and content, learning, and perception and motor, and highlights loci of architectural agreement as well as disagreement with the consensus while identifying potential areas of remaining incompleteness. The hope is that this work will provide an important step toward engaging the broader community in further development of the standard model of the mind.
The mashup approach: How healthcare can save billions on AI and machine learning
Healthcare is at a two-tined fork: One strip leads to repeating the same mistakes others have already made while the more enlightened rail learns from those instead. That avenue is not a foregone conclusion. Hospitals' development and implementation of emerging technologies under the artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and machine learning rubric is nascent enough that there's time to choose which tine to take. Taking the well-trodden path will neither be easy nor exactly inexpensive, so why pick it? There's a lot to be gained -- and piles of money to be saved -- by learning from those who have gone before.
The Kingland Platform
The Kingland Platform is comprised of 40 components that provide enterprise-class data management, analytics, cognitive computing, and work automation software that powers client-specific solutions. Clients achieve complex project objectives in less than half the time of legacy buy, install, and develop software projects due to the modular nature of the platform.
Cognitive Computing: Is it the Future of Intelligence?
Of late, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data, but what lies beneath is still unclear to most of the folks. Cognitive computing is one such tech trend that joins the list of buzzing tech topics. So what is cognitive computing? Simply put, cognitive computing implies nothing but self-learning computing systems that make use of machine learning tactics to execute specific human like tasks, but in an intelligent manner. Cognitive computing is a nexus of cognitive science that entails the human brain and the way its functions along with computer science.
