Generative AI vs. AGI: The Cognitive Strengths and Weaknesses of Modern LLMs

no code implementations19 Sep 2023 Ben Goertzel

A moderately detailed consideration of interactive LLMs as cognitive systems is given, focusing on LLMs circa mid-2023 such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bard, Llama, etc.. Cognitive strengths of these systems are reviewed, and then careful attention is paid to the substantial differences between the sort of cognitive system these LLMs are, and the sort of cognitive systems human beings are.

The General Theory of General Intelligence: A Pragmatic Patternist Perspective

no code implementations28 Mar 2021 Ben Goertzel

Patterns of Cognition: Cognitive Algorithms as Galois Connections Fulfilled by Chronomorphisms On Probabilistically Typed Metagraphs

no code implementations21 Feb 2021 Ben Goertzel

It is argued that a broad class of AGI-relevant algorithms can be expressed in a common formal framework, via specifying Galois connections linking search and optimization processes on directed metagraphs whose edge targets are labeled with probabilistic dependent types, and then showing these connections are fulfilled by processes involving metagraph chronomorphisms.

Info-Evo: Using Information Geometry to Guide Evolutionary Program Learning

no code implementations20 Feb 2021 Ben Goertzel

A novel optimization strategy, Info-Evo, is described, in which natural gradient search using nonparametric Fisher information is used to provide ongoing guidance to an evolutionary learning algorithm, so that the evolutionary process preferentially moves in the directions identified as "shortest paths" according to the natural gradient.

Paraconsistent Foundations for Quantum Probability

no code implementations19 Jan 2021 Ben Goertzel

It is argued that a fuzzy version of 4-truth-valued paraconsistent logic (with truth values corresponding to True, False, Both and Neither) can be approximately isomorphically mapped into the complex-number algebra of quantum probabilities.

Paraconsistent Foundations for Probabilistic Reasoning, Programming and Concept Formation

no code implementations28 Dec 2020 Ben Goertzel

It is argued that 4-valued paraconsistent truth values (called here "p-bits") can serve as a conceptual, mathematical and practical foundation for highly AI-relevant forms of probabilistic logic and probabilistic programming and concept formation.

Folding and Unfolding on Metagraphs

no code implementations3 Dec 2020 Ben Goertzel

Typed metagraphs are defined as hypergraphs with types assigned to hyperedges and their targets, and the potential to have targets of hyperedges connect to whole links as well as targets.

Uncertain Linear Logic via Fibring of Probabilistic and Fuzzy Logic

no code implementations28 Sep 2020 Ben Goertzel

Beginning with a simple semantics for propositions, based on counting observations, it is shown that probabilistic and fuzzy logic correspond to two different heuristic assumptions regarding the combination of propositions whose evidence bases are not currently available.

Embedding Vector Differences Can Be Aligned With Uncertain Intensional Logic Differences

1 code implementation26 May 2020 Ben Goertzel, Mike Duncan, Debbie Duong, Nil Geisweiller, Hedra Seid, Abdulrahman Semrie, Man Hin Leung, Matthew Ikle'

The DeepWalk algorithm is used to assign embedding vectors to nodes in the Atomspace weighted, labeled hypergraph that is used to represent knowledge in the OpenCog AGI system, in the context of an application to probabilistic inference regarding the causes of longevity based on data from biological ontologies and genomic analyses.

Guiding Symbolic Natural Language Grammar Induction via Transformer-Based Sequence Probabilities

no code implementations26 May 2020 Ben Goertzel, Andres Suarez Madrigal, Gino Yu

A novel approach to automated learning of syntactic rules governing natural languages is proposed, based on using probabilities assigned to sentences (and potentially longer word sequences) by transformer neural network language models to guide symbolic learning processes like clustering and rule induction.
