Screen Shot 2015-03-25 at 15.42.44Here at IIIM we are excited to share with you our first newsletter! The aim of the newsletter is to cast light on the research projects we’re working on, events related to the field of AI and IIIM’s collaborations.

In this first newsletter you can read about Dr. Yngvi Björnsson’s account on IIIM’s andCADIA’s collaboration and Dr. Jacky Mallett’s article on Simulating Modern Banking Systems. There is also a pieces on the RU hosted “Humanobs Constructivist Workshop“, where researchers from around the world came together in a search for answers in the growing field of Artificial General Intelligence.

This spring IIIM is continuing it’s tradition on having an Open Day for all of those interested in the newest achievements in the field of AI. This year we have invited one of our closest collaborators Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents (CADIA) to join the event with several exciting presentations.

Self-Programming & Constructivist Methodologies for AGI

The behavior of a computer system consists of a sequence of operations. A major difference between conventional computer systems and artificially intelligent systems is that while the former follow predetermined programs provided by human programmers, the latter systems must be capable of some “self-programming”, in the sense that their behavior cannot always be explicitly specified by a human and must, to varying degrees, be decided by the system itself. Many existing AI techniques, such as state-space searching, action planning, production systems, genetic programming, inductive logic programming, reinforcement learning, reactive or adaptive agents and robots, can thus be considered, to a greater or lesser extent, capable of self-programming.
