This extended abstract outlines a project to build computer programs that understand. Understanding a domain is defined as the ability to rapidly produce computer programs to deal with new problems as they arise. This is achieved by building a CAD tool that collaborates with human designers who guide the system to construct code having certain properties. The code re...

Game Artificial Intelligence requires an interactive AI, which by its very nature presents many challenges to game developers. As AI tasks become more complex, the need to manage the execution of those tasks becomes more important. All but the most complex routines can be managed with some simple abstractions for execution management. These abstractions, through extension, could be used to map ...

The hypothesis, originally proposed by Galton and elaborated by Spearman, that there is a functional correspondence between sensory discrimination and general intelligence ( g) continues to spark debate. Previous findings suggest that pitch discrimination and tactile discrimination are only weakly correlated with g. This study sought to replicate the pitch discrimination findings and to expand ...

We examined the relationship between structural brain variation and general intelligence using voxel-based morphometric analysis of MRI data in men and women with equivalent IQ scores. Compared to men, women show more white matter and fewer gray matter areas related to intelligence. In men IQ/gray matter correlations are strongest in frontal and parietal lobes (BA 8, 9, 39, 40), whereas the str...

The general intelligence of any autonomous system must in large part be measured by its ability to automatically learn new skills and integrate these with prior skills. Cognitive architectures addressing these topics are few and far between – possibly because of their difficulty. We argue that architectures capable of diverse skill acquisition and integration, and real-time management of these,...

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) treats "intelligence" as a whole and is currently different from AI. This paper presents an overview of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in terms of its historical background, definition, comparison with AI and its representative projects.

The ultimate goal of work in cognitive architecture is to provide the foundation for a system capable of general intelligent behavior. That is, the goal is to provide the underlying structure that would enable a system to perform the full range of cognitive tasks, employ the full range of problem-solving methods and representations appropriate for the tasks, and learn about all aspects of the t...
