Artificial Intelligence
Background
In 2003, I received a B.S. in Symbolic System with Honors from Stanford University, with a concentration in A.I.
Areas of interest in A.I.
- data structures and representations
- commonsense reasoning
- autoassociative semantic memory
- cognitive architectures (i.e. putting it all together)
- automated programming
- hierarchial reinforcement learning
- attention
- creativity (i.e. the ability to generate complex data structures, concepts, and hypotheses; i define this in contrast to the ability to reason about relationships between concepts that have already been generated or given)
- symbolic and semantic reasoning on top of low-level connectionist architectures
In general, I'm interested in working towards flexible, general purpose, human-level A.I.
I agree mostly with Push Singh's research (anti-)programme: http://web.media.mit.edu/~push/why-ai-failed.html.
