The Need for Computational Intelligence in Intelligent Computers




 • In celebrating the 100th anniversary of Turing and his
   pioneer work, curiosity may lead to a fundamental
   q
   question:

    - If more intelligent computers that think, reason, and
      learn may be developed?
    - They are known as Cognitive Computers (cCs)

Abstract Intelligence (αI)
                                       α
• Intelligence is a human
  or system ability that
  autonomously transfers a piece
  of information into a behavior:

    I  f :I  B
• Abstract intelligence (I)
                   g       ( )
  - A theory of intelligence science
    that studies abstract, natural,
    and artificial intelligence
    across the neural, cognitive,
    functional, and mathematical
    levels from the bottom up.

Constraints of Classic Computers


• The Turing and von Neumann machines are generic data
  processors created on a basic assumption that objects
  and behavior of any computing problem can be reduced
  onto th bit l
    t the     level.
                  l

• However, there is an entire range of complex problems in
  the real world that may impossibly, or at least, inefficiently
  be reduced onto bits.




         ICCSA’12, Salvador, Brazil, June 18-20, 2012 Dr. Y. Wang   7
Data Processors vs. Knowledge Processors


• Is it possible to advance the classic computing theories
  and technologies closer to those of human brains as a
  natural knowledge processor that does not reason in ?

• Instead of reducing every computing problem and
  solution onto  as in conventional data computers, the
  next generation of k
      t       ti   f knowledge computers k
                          l d          t    known as
  cognitive computers need to be able to directly process
  human knowledge in .

Cognitive Informatics


• Cognitive informatics (CI) is a transdisciplinary enquiry
  of computer science, information science, cognitive
  science, and intelligence science, which studies:

 - The internal information processing mechanisms and
   processes of natural intelligence;
 - The theoretical framework and denotational
   mathematics of abstract intelligence;
 - Their engineering applications by cognitive computing.

Advances of Human Brain of Natural Intelligence

• What make human beings
  as human?
 - Walk
 - Making tools
 - Work
 - Languages
      g g
 - Abstract thinking/inference capability of the brain

• The quantitative advantage of human brain states that the magnitude
  of the memory capacity of the brain is tremendously larger than
  that of the closest species.

• The qualitative advantage of human brain states that the possession
  of the abstract layer of memory and the abstract reasoning capacity
  makes human brain profoundly powerful on the basis of the
  quantitative advantage.

αI is Mainly a Mathematical Entity

• The lasting vigor of automata theory, Turing machines,
  and formal inference methodologies reveals that
  suitable mathematical means such as set, relations,
  tuples, processes, and symbolic logics are the
  essences of abstract and computational intelligence
                                            intelligence.

• Although these profound mathematical structures
  underlie the modeling of natural and machine
  intelligence, the level of their mathematical entities is
  too low to be able to process concepts, knowledge, and
  series of behavioral processes.

Mathematical Foundations of Cognitive Computers

• The problem
 - The computing needs for complex real-world problems may
   impossibly, or at least, inefficiently be reduced onto bits ().
     p      y,            ,             y                      ( )
 - Most of the complex entities in the real world cannot be abstracted
   and represented by pure numbers in  or  (real numbers).

• The finding
 - The computing problems are a Hyper Structure () beyond  and .

New Problems Need New Forms of Mathematics

• The domain of problems in CI and αI are Hyper Structures  beyond
  that of pure real numbers  or bits .

• The maturity of a discipline is characterized by the maturity of its
  mathematical means.

• The requirements for reduction of complex knowledge onto the
  low-level data objects in conventional computing technologies and
  their associated analytic mathematical means have greatly
  constrained th inference and computing ability toward the
        t i d the i f          d       ti   bilit t    d th
  development of intelligent knowledge processors known as
  cognitive computers.

• This has triggered the current transdisciplinary investigation into
  new mathematical structures for I in the category of denotational
  mathematics.

    Analytic mathematics deals with mathematical entities with accurate
    relations and functions.
   Numerical mathematics – recursive and approx. functions on 
    Numerical mathematics deals with mathematical entities with discrete
    and recursively approximate relations and functions.
 Denotational mathematics –Series of dynamic functions on  [HyperStructures]
    Denotational mathematics deals with high-level mathematical entities
    beyond numbers and sets, such as abstract objects, complex
    relations, behavioral information, concepts, knowledge, processes,
    inferences, decisions, intelligence, and systems.

    Given a certain mathematical structure, when both its functions and I/O are
    adaptive in a series, it belongs to the category of denotational mathematics;
    otherwise, it falls into the category of analytic mathematics or numerical
    mathematics.

Cognitive Computing:
  Toward Machines that Learn and Think


• Cognitive Computing (CC) is an emerging paradigm
  of intelligent computing methodologies and systems
  that implements computational intelligence by
  autonomous inferences and perceptions mimicking
  the mechanisms of the brain.

• CC is developed based on the trans-disciplinary
  research in cognitive informatics and abstract
  intelligence.

Denotational Mathematical Foundations of cCs

• Because the basic unit of knowledge is an abstract concept in ,
  the mathematical model of knowledge is a Cartesian product of
  power sets of formal concepts
                       concepts.

  algebra and its logical counterparts in 

Advantages of CLE in cCs

• Learn common or professional knowledge faster than
  human does

• Learn and process knowledge continually beyond the
  natural memory creation constraints of humans
               y

• They may never forget a piece of learned knowledge
  once that has been cognized and memorized

• Most excitingly, they can directly transfer learned
  knowledge to peers without requiring re-learning
                                          re learning
  because they use the same knowledge representation
  model and manipulation mechanisms

  • 20. αI is Mainly a Mathematical Entity • The lasting vigor of automata theory, Turing machines, and formal inference methodologies reveals that suitable mathematical means such as set, relations, tuples, processes, and symbolic logics are the essences of abstract and computational intelligence intelligence. • Although these profound mathematical structures underlie the modeling of natural and machine intelligence, the level of their mathematical entities is too low to be able to process concepts, knowledge, and series of behavioral processes. i fb h i l ICCSA’12, Salvador, Brazil, June 18-20, 2012 Dr. Y. Wang 20
  • 21. Mathematical Foundations of Cognitive Computers • The problem - The computing needs for complex real-world problems may impossibly, or at least, inefficiently be reduced onto bits (). p y, , y ( ) - Most of the complex entities in the real world cannot be abstracted and represented by pure numbers in  or  (real numbers). • The finding - The computing problems are a Hyper Structure () beyond  and . -E E.g.: F Formal knowledge, abstract concepts, behavioral processes, lk l d b b h i l semantics, causations, inferences, abstract systems • The need - Denotational mathematics (DM) - Those beyond Boolean algebra and predicate logic ICCSA’12, Salvador, Brazil, June 18-20, 2012 Dr. Y. Wang 21
