This probably won’t be of interest to anyone else. This is just a dumping ground for me to keep track of resources and ideas that look like they could be interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking into cognitive architectures. Some are trying to replicate human thought (ACT-R, Sigma), others are just trying to use the human mind as a sort of inspiration for designing interesting or clever systems (eg SOAR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The relevant links for each are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACT-R Sigma SOAR I will get into these, though they seem to be strangely devoid of evolutionarily-informed thinking, not sure yet. I think they tend to be looking for domain-general problem-solving architectures. I’m not sure if this is a strong decision to avoid domain-specificity or just an unquestioned assumption. I’ll keep an open mind on general vs specific, but they do seem to lean quite heavily towards general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Youtube is a decent place to find videos on all of these, to supplement the information on their home pages etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there’s Rolls’ work – eg Emotion and Decision-Making Explained which goes down to the neural level but also looks at higher-level. EMOTIONS, NEURONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n My own approach I think is going to be a combination of bottom up, cognitive architecture kind of thing plus top down evolutionary theory a la robot to human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes on Tooby and Cosmides papers from here https:\/\/www.cep.ucsb.edu\/publist.htm<\/a> Tooby, J. & Cosmides, L.

USC actually seem to be doing a whole project called ‘virtual humans’, which includes Sigma, a refactoring of ACT-R. Also goes down to the neural level I think in places using SPAUN maybe? NEURONS
Apparently the ICT Virtual Human Toolkit is freely available.
