Abstract
Building on Genesis's self-reflection capability we will perform experiments where agents learn how solve problems in new and creative ways, learning by example and instruction, and distilling general procedures and recipes. Such systems will require reflective capabilities of various kinds in order to recognize, abstract, and align what they learn. To better understand the interface between language and other senses, we will experiment with biologically plausible models of vision, including architectures that can integrate top-down and bottom-up information. With a similar integrative approach, we will pursue human-scale models of language that can use knowledge and multi-modal senses to constrain meaning. We will integrate a new level of hypothetical reasoning capabilities into our cognitive models, enabling a range of more complex behaviors including forms of imagination, moral reasoning, evaluating, and planning. We believe all of this will be an important step toward understanding the competences necessary for human intelligence.
