Many existing AGI architectures are based on the assumption of infinite computational resources, as researchers ignore the fact that real-world tasks have time limits, and managing these is a key part of the role of intelligence. In the domain of intelligent systems the management of system resources is typically called “attention”. Attention mechanisms are necessary because all moderately complex environments are likely to be the source of vastly more information than could be processed in real-time by an intelligence’s available cognitive resources. Even if sufficient resources were available, attention could help make better use of them. We argue that attentional mechanisms are not only nice to have, for AGI architectures they are an absolute necessity. We examine ideas and concepts from cognitive psychology for creating intelligent resource management mechanisms and how these can be applied to engineered systems. We present a design for a general attention mechanism intended for implementation in AGI architectures.
Blockchain in the context of IoT with a focus on monitoring: a survey 2017Ali Alzubaidi
This document discusses using blockchain technology for monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It begins by outlining current challenges with monitoring IoT applications and components in isolation without consideration for dependencies. It then provides background on IoT architecture and discusses limitations of cloud-based and centralized approaches. The document explores peer-to-peer and fog computing architectures as alternatives. It reviews several proposed approaches for quality of service-aware monitoring and deployment of IoT applications using concepts like smart contracts and distributed ledgers.
There are ten areas in Data Science which are a key part of a project, and you need to master those to be able to work as a Data Scientist in much big organization.
IT costs at universities continue to rise due to both controllable and uncontrollable factors. Uncontrollable factors include increasing demands for IT services from all stakeholders due to trends like ubiquitous technology use, greater compliance requirements, and more sophisticated research needs. Controllable factors driving up costs include the proliferation of independent IT groups across campuses, resulting in redundant systems and data integration challenges. To control costs, universities should shift their perspective of IT from a cost center to an investment, centralize services, leverage shared services, outsource non-core functions to the cloud, and regularly review existing systems and contracts.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Why is attention necessary for AGI?
What is constructivist methodology?
How to design an attention mechanism
AGI 2012
3. In the domain of intelligent systems, the
management of system resources is typically
called “attention”
Biological (Human) Attention:
• Selective concentration on particular aspects of the
environment while ignoring others
Artificial Attention:
• Resource management and control mechanism to
assign limited system resources to processing of most
relevant or important information
AGI 2012
5. If we have detailed specifications of tasks
and environments at design time, we already
know:
• what kind of information is relevant to system
operation
• how frequently the system has to sample information
• how quickly the system needs to make decisions
• the resource requirements of the system
AGI 2012
6. Major reduction in complexity (compared to real-world
tasks and environments)
• Information filtering can be pre-programmed if
characteristics of task-relevant information is known
in advance
• Resource management and processing can be hand-
tuned for specific tasks and environments in advance
Substantial dynamic adaption to tasks not required

7. When tasks and environments are partially
specified or unspecified at design time, the
following is unknown:
• what kind of information is relevant to system
operation
• how frequently the system has to sample information
• how quickly the system needs to make decisions
• the resource requirements of the system

Learning
AGI systems are not
supplied at design time
with sufficient explicit
initial knowledge to
achieve all goals
Must learn to realize high-
level goals in the
operating environment
Must learn to perceive and
act meaningfully in the
environment
Initial knowledge for lower
levels of abstraction is
incomplete
9. AGI system design must assume up-front:
• Incomplete knowledge of the world at boot time
• Real world complexity for environments and tasks
• All information is potentially important
• Not only limited, but insufficient resources at all times
• Dynamic tasks, environments and time constraints
AGI 2012
10. “Narrow” AI
• Substantial dynamic adaptation to task not required
• Data filtering can be pre-programmed if characteristics of useful data
known in advance
• Lower than real world task complexity
Resource management and processing hand-tuned for specific scenarios
→ Attention not required (?)
AGI
• Real world environmental complexity assumed up-front
• Computational resources for the AI assumed to be insufficient at all times
Complexity calls for data filtering and intelligent resource allocation
• Environments and tasks unknown at implementation time
Resource management must be adaptive
→ Demands strong focus on resource management and
realtime processing

11. A general attention mechanism for
implementation in AGI systems /
cognitive architectures
Replication of natural attention mechanisms is not a goal
(but work is biologically inspired at a high level)

Constructivist AI
• “From Constructionist to Constructivist AI”, Thórisson 2009, BICA
proceedings
Targets systems that manage their own
growth
• From manually constructed initial state
(bootstrap/seed)
Methodology for building flexible AGI systems
capable of autonomous self-reconfiguration at
the architecture level
13. General
• No limiting assumptions about tasks, environments or modalities
• Architecture-independent
Adaptive
• Learns from experience
Complete
• Targets all operational information (internal and external)
• Top-down + Bottom-up
Uniform
• Data from all modalities treated identically (at cognitive levels of
processing)

14. Attention functionality implemented in handful
of AGI systems
Limitations:
• Data-filtering only (control issues ignored)
• External information only (internal states ignored)
• Realtime processing not addressed

15. Intellifest 2012
System-wide quantification of data relevance
Data relevance:
• Goal-related (top-down)
• Novelty / Unexpectedness (bottom-up)
System-wide quantification of process relevance
Process relevance:
• Operational experience (“top-down”)
Prior success or failure of individual processes to contribute to similar
or identical goals
• Available data (“bottom-up”)
Available data may limit which processes can be run
16. Internal system: another dynamic and complex
environment
• Similar to the external task environment
Meta-cognitive functions responsible for system growth
must also process information selectively
• Resources remain limited
Applying a single, unified attention mechanism to both
internal and external environments significantly
facilitates the creation of AGI systems capable of
performing tasks and improving own performance
while being subject to resource limitations and realtime
constraints.

18. Data item Process
Data relevance quantified in saliency
parameter
Process relevance quantified in activation
parameter
Execution Policy
Execute most active processes on most salient
data items
(data item must match process input specification)
The high-level role of attention is to quantify and assign saliency and activation values
24. Implementation of early version complete
Evaluation in progress

Editor's Notes
Relate work to conferenceAcademic research firmly directed at future applicationDevelopment of new technology that will hopefully end up in the applied AI space
Why attention is important for AI, and for what kinds of AI systems
Humans ignore over 95% of sensory information thanks to attention
Without all three, we don‘t need attentionDepending on your definition, the same thing is true for intelligence
Tasks will not dramatically change
Insufficient in terms of processing all informationReal world environment: chessboard vs. this roomDetails, open world
Taking useful insipration from biology / cognitive science while leaving limitationsSome attention models from cog-psy have attentional bottlenecks
Myndir?
Another complex environment within the system
Top-down attentionGoals must specify operational target states, extract special patterns intended to catch goal related informationExample: Goal: Object O1 located at position P1 Attentional template: Any data item referencing O1
Bottom-up attention:Based on novelty or unexpectedness of information, determined by operational experience
Now for processess..Activation passed for processess capable of accepting high priority data itemsRemaining problem: Many processess may be able to consume same data, only some may be currently useful
Top-down attention for processesMaintains history of the participation of processes in goal achievementNon-trival problem, but can be done e.g. By backpropagation from goal achievement through chain of preceding activityGive bias to processess likely to be useful nowAttention mechanism or control mechanism?Works equally for external and internal goals, potential to support introspection
