Abstract

The article presents a review of the phenomenon of understanding the meaning of the natural language and, more broadly, the meaning of the situation in which the cognitive agent is located, considering the context. A specific definition of understanding is given, which is at the intersection of neurophysiology, information theory and cybernetics. The scheme of an abstract architecture of the cognitive agent (of arbitrary nature) is offered, which states that an agent with such architecture can understand in the sense described in the paper. It also provides a critique of J. Searle’s mental experiment “The Chinese Room” from the point of view of the construction of artificial cognitive agents within a hybrid paradigm of artificial intelligence. The novelty of the presented work is based on the application of the author’s methodological approach to the construction of artificial cognitive agents. It not only considers the perception of external stimuli from the environment, but also the philosophical problem of “understanding” by the artificial cognitive agent of its sensory inputs. The relevance of the work follows from the renewed interest of the scientific community in the theme of Strong Artificial Intelligence (or AGI). The author's contribution consists in comprehensive treatment from different points of view of the theme of understanding perceived by artificial cognitive agents. It involves the formation of prerequisites for the development of new models and the theory of understanding within the framework of artificial intelligence, which in the future will help to build a holistic theory of the nature of human mind. The article will be interesting for specialists working in the field of artificial intellectual systems and cognitive agents construction, as well as for scientists from other scientific fields – first of all, philosophy, neurophysiology and psychology.

Article
Full-text available
  • Jul 2022
The article describes the author’s approach to solving the problem of symbol grounding, which can be used in the development of artificial cognitive agents of the general level. When implementing this approach, such agents can receive the function of understanding the sense and context of the situations in which they find themselves. The article gives a brief description of the problem of understanding the meaning and sense. In addition, the author’s vision is given of how the symbol grounding should occur when the artificial cognitive agent uses sensory information flows of various modality. Symbol grounding is carried out by building an associative-heterarchical network of concepts, with the help of which the hybrid architecture of an artificial cognitive agent is expanded. The novelty of the article is based on the author’s approach to solving the problem, which is represented by several important principles — these are multisensory integration, the use of an associative-heterarchical network of concepts and a hybrid paradigm of artificial intelligence. The relevance of the work is based on the fact that today the problem of constructing artificial cognitive agents of a general level is becoming more and more important for solving, including within the framework of national strategies for the development of artificial intelligence in various countries of the world. The article is of a theoretical nature and will be of interest to specialists in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as to all those who want to stay within the framework of modern trends in the field of artificial intelligence.

... In general, this scheme really allows us to neutralize the negative aspects of both paradigms. However, to create an artificial general intelligence agent in a hybrid architecture of artificial intelligence, there is a lack of an essential characteristic that the human mind hasunderstanding the situation in which the agent finds itself, and understanding it taking into account the context and personal experience [Dushkin, 2020]. Updating knowledge bases «on the fly» and the ability to choose from several variants of meaning available both in personal experience and in the knowledge of all mankindthese are still unsolved problems of the hybrid paradigm in particular and of artificial intelligence in general. ...
Hybrid Bionic Cognitive Architecture for Artificial General Intelligence Agents
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2021
The article describes the author’s proposal on cognitive architecture for the development of a general-level artificial intelligent agent («strong» artificial intelligence). New principles for the development of such an architecture are proposed — a hybrid approach in artificial intelligence and bionics. The architecture diagram of the proposed solution is given and descriptions of possible areas of application are described. Strong artificial intelligence is a technical solution that can solve arbitrary cognitive tasks available to humans (human-level artificial intelligence) and even surpass the capabilities of human intelligence (artificial superintelligence). The fields of application of strong artificial intelligence are limitless — from solving current problems facing the human to completely new problems that are not yet available to human civilization or are still waiting for their discoverer. The novelty of the work lies in the author’s approach to the construction of cognitive architecture, which has absorbed the results of many years of research in the field of artificial intelligence and the results of the analysis of cognitive architectures of other researchers.

The relevance of the work is based on the indisputable fact that current research in the field of weak artificial intelligence is starting to slow down due to the impossibility of solving general problems, and most national strategies for the development of technologies in the field of artificial intelligence declare the need to develop new artificial intelligence technologies, including Artificial General Intelligence. The work will be of interest to scientists, engineers, and researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence in general, as well as to any interested readers seeking to keep abreast of modern technologies.

Generative Language Patterns and the Phenomenon of Anti-Anthropocentrism — New Perspectives on the Linguistic Paradigm of «Posthumano» and «General/Strong» AI
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2024
The presented material introduces an authorial hypothesis on the prospects of the emergence of the linguistic paradigm «posthumano», based on an analytical interdisciplinary review and analysis of the development feature of large generative language models through the enhancement of neural network algorithms in deep machine learning. The authors put forward a theoretical and methodological foundation of the appearance of such a phenomenon in the context of the development of anti-anthropocentrism theories. The article actualizes the development of «post-anthropocentric» approaches overcoming the traditional binary opposition «man/machine», extending into the realm of linguistics. Building on achievements in the development and training of generative language models, a new concept of language as an autonomous, self-developing system, termed «posthumano» is formulated and proposed for further criticism and development. The authorial concept of the emerging a new linguistic paradigm is based both on the principles of the interdisciplinary approach and on the discourse of transdisciplinarity that developed in the second half of the 20th century. In this contribution, the authors outline some of the foundational principles and reasons that may underlie the new linguistic paradigm and offer some thoughts on the immediate prospects for the development of linguistic practices and humanitarian knowledge in the era of expectation/development of «general/strong» artificial intelligence technologies. The authors put forward a theoretical and methodological basis for the emergence of such a phenomenon in the context of the development of theories of anti-anthropocentrism. The article updates the development of «post-anthropocentric» approaches that go beyond the traditional binary opposition «man/machine», including the field of linguistics. Based on advances in the development and training of generative language models, the formulation and a new concept of language as an autonomous, self-developing «posthumano» system is proposed for further analysis, criticism, and development. The author’s concept of the formation and development of a new emerging linguistic paradigm is based both on the principles of an interdisciplinary approach and on the discourse of transdisciplinarity, which developed in the second half of the 20th century. The authors set out both some basic foundations and reasons that can form the basis of a new linguistic paradigm and offer some thoughts on the immediate prospects for the development of language practices and humanitarian knowledge in the era of anticipation/development of «general/strong» artificial intelligence technologies.

Optimal Scheduling of Processing Unit Using Convolutional Neural Network Architecture
Chapter
Full-text available
  • May 2023
CPU Scheduling is the process of allocating CPU time to various processes of different kinds. There are many existing algorithms that schedule waiting processes, but each of those algorithms achieve good results in only one of the many useful features of a scheduler. Some important features of a scheduling algorithm are to reduce the waiting time, to give a fair share of CPU time to all the processes and to give preference to higher priority processes; Shortest Job First, Round Robin and Priority scheduling algorithms do them respectively. The proposed work combines all these desired properties into one algorithm, by making use of convolution neural network architecture. Using CNN architecture is advantageous because the data is controllable in the hidden layers. The data in the hidden layers could be both understood and manipulated; hence a more powerful neural network could be designed. In comparison to these common algorithms the proposed work achieves 66% better performance, when all the above mentioned desired properties are taken into consideration.KeywordsCPU schedulingOperating SystemNeural networksConvolutional neural networksMin-pooling

Semantic Supervised Training for General Artificial Cognitive Agents
Article
Full-text available
  • Nov 2021
The article describes the author's approach to the construction of general-level artificial cognitive agents based on the so-called «semantic supervised learning», within which, in accordance with the hybrid paradigm of artificial intelligence, both machine learning methods and methods of the symbolic approach and knowledge-based systems are used («good old-fashioned artificial intelligence»). A description of current problems with understanding of the general meaning and context of situations in which narrow AI agents are found is presented. The definition of semantic supervised learning is given and its relationship with other machine learning methods is described. In addition, a thought experiment is presented, which shows the essence and meaning of semantic training with a teacher, which makes it possible to «educate» a general-level AI agent, giving him the opportunity to apply not only general-level knowledge about the world around it, but also personal experience, which, according to the author, will lead to a full understanding of the context and, ultimately, to the construction of general artificial cognitive agents. The article also provides a possible architecture for an artificial cognitive agent that can implement semantic supervised learning. The novelty of the work lies in the author's approach to combining various methods of artificial intelligence within the hybrid paradigm. The relevance of the work is based on the ever-increasing interest in general-level artificial intelligence methods in science, technology, business and world politics. The article is theoretical. The article will be of interest to specialists in the field of artificial intelligence (especially in the direction of building artificial general intelligence), philosophy of consciousness, and in general to all those who are interested in up-to-date relevant information about the approaches and methods of implementing general artificial cognitive agents.
