Economic Attention Networks: Associative Memory and Resource Allocation for General Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for simultaneously storing memories and allocating resources in AI systems is presented. The method, Economic Attention Networks (ECANs), bears some resemblance to the spread of activation in attractor neural networks, but differs via explicitly differentiating two kinds of “activation” (Short Term Importance, related to processor allocation; and Long Term Importance, related to memory allocation), and in using equations that are based on ideas from economics rather than approximative neural modeling. Here we explain the basic ideas of ECANs, and then investigate the functionality of ECANs as associative memories, via mathematical analysis and the reportage of experimental results obtained from the implementation of ECANs in the OpenCog integrative AGI system.

The effect of eight weeks of Yoga exercise on sustained attention and memory performance in people with Schizophrenia
Background: Cognitive impairment is one of the most important symptoms of schizophrenia. Although drug therapy is beneficial for the improvement of schizophrenia symptoms, about 30% of patients are resistant to treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Yoga exercises on the sustained attention and memory performance of schizophrenic patients. Material...
متن کاملThe Role of Regulatory in Price Control and Spectrum Allocation to Competing Wireless Access Networks
With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...
متن کاملA New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions
Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...
متن کاملLong-term Care Financing: Inserting Politics and Resource Allocation in the Debate; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
The ageing of the countries’ populations, and in particular the growing number of the very old, is increasing the need for long-term care (LTC). Not surprisingly, therefore, the financing of LTC systems has become a crucial topic across the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In the last three decades, various financing policies have been carr...
متن کاملA Multi Objective Fibonacci Search Based Algorithm for Resource Allocation in PERT Networks
The problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. We seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. We assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. The decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...
