Toward a Unified Artificial Intelligence
Pei Wang · 2004
To integrate existing AI techniques into a consistent system, an intelligent core is needed, which is general and flexible, and can use the other techniques as tools to solve concrete problems. Such a system, NARS, is introduced. It is a general-purpose reasoning system developed to be adaptive and capable of working with insufficient knowledge and resources. Compared to traditional reasoning system, NARS is different in all major components (language, semantics, inference rules, memory structure, and control mechanism). Intelligence as a whole Artificial intelligence started as an attempt to build a general-purpose thinking machine with human-level intelligence. In the past decades, there were projects aimed at algorithms and architectures capturing the essence of intelligence, such as General Problem Solver (Newell and Simon,
