Abstract
We propose a set of “atomic cognitive operational representations” on which higher level cognitive representations and processes can be built, thus providing fundamental building blocks for cognitive mechanisms necessary for intelligent actions. The fundamental concepts involved are elemental temporal changes of some quantities and in this representational scheme the temporal dimension is explicitly represented to fully characterize the meanings of the concepts involved at the epistemic ground level. This provides full grounding for all subsequent concepts that are built upon them, allowing cognitive systems embodying these concepts to have full and complete understanding and characterization of the concepts involved that it can use for various cognitive ends such as learning and problem solving. The connections between operational representation and cognitive linguistics will be discussed.
Dr Ho received his B.E. in Electronic Engineering from the University of Western Australia and both his M.Sc. in Computer Science and Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the University of Wisconsin -Madison, U.S.A. He was Lecturer with the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science, National University of Singapore (NUS), teaching and doing research in artificial intelligence and cognitive science, followed by a stint as President of E-Book Systems Pte Ltd, a company he founded with offices in Singapore, the Silicon Valley (U.S.A.), China, Japan, and Germany which developed and marketed a patented 3D page-flipping e-book interface (38 patents granted worldwide). Subsequently, he joined Temasek Laboratories at NUS and from 2009 to 2011, he led a team that developed a reinforcement learning based system for an intelligent air combat simulator that was successfully ported over to a commercial system – the CAE STRIVE-CGF air combat simulator system. Since then, his research focuses on addressing the fundamental issues in Artificial General Intelligence.
