  1. Intelligence without Representation

  2. Placing the Article • 1987 • Given up on recreating complete human intelligence • More focus on specialized fields using human like intelligence

  3. Placing the Author • Human intelligence to complex and to little understood to decompose • Even if this wasn’t the case; interaction between decomposed parts too complex • Starting with “lesser” intelligence proper

  4. Thus • Approach intelligence in an incremental manner • Each increment a complete system • Each complete system should be tested in the Real World with Real sensing and Real action, anything less will be self deluding

  5. Representation? • Hypothesis:Representation is the wrong unit of abstraction for the “bulkiest” intelligence • Conclusion:In simple intelligence, representations and models get in the way. Better to use the world as its own model

  6. Evolve and Conquer • 3.500 million years to evolve basic ‘survival’ • Then 18 million years to evolve human ‘intelligence’ • Mobility, acute vision and other basic survival traits and tasks is the basis for intelligence

  7. The AI dilemma • Successful AI methods -> Algorithms (Intelligence?) • Unsuccessful AI - > Not AI problem (lack of Intelligence?) • The “Toy-World” (Intelligence a result of Environment?) • Abstractions done prior by the developer (is Intelligence Abstraction?)

  8. The Creature • A single Mechanical BOID(?) • The prodigy of the article • Developed with its own existence as sole purpose, no philosophical, or somesuch nonsense, implications

  9. Creature Requirement Specifications • Must react timely in a dynamic environment • Must not break down due to changes in the environment • Must maintain and prioritize multiple goals • Must have some purpose (like doing my laundry)

  10. Dived and Conquer • Develop the creature activity by activity • Not: the traditional function by function • Test each “activity” independently • Use engineering principals

  11. Representation represented? • No central representation • No central system at all • Just a set of activities • The world itself is the representation

  12. Intelligent? • Just a chaos of interactions • Can seem as a coherent pattern of behaviour from an observers point of view

  13. It’s not… • ConnectionismIt’s a network of simple processors, but:- non-uniform processing units- no “hidden” representation in node interconnection • Neural network- No biological significance

  14. It’s not… • Production rules- A standard production system is more… • Blackboard- Information flow predetermined • German philosophy- Creature not concerned with its own existence :þ

  15. Conclusion • Mobility, vision and survival related tasks are necessary prerequisites for higher-level intelligence • Creatures seem fun to play with • And: “Of course, talk is cheap.” (quote) • Not to mention: “Time will tell.” (quote)
