AGI-16 Kristinn R. Thórisson - About Understanding

Kristinn R. Thórisson presents his talk "About Understanding" at the Ninth Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-16) in New York (http://agi-conf.org/2016/). Paper authors: Kristinn R. Thórisson, David Kremelberg, Bas R. Steunebrink and Eric Nivel Abstract: The concept of understanding is commonly used in everyday communications, and seems to lie at the heart of human intelligence. However, no concrete theory of understanding has been fielded as of yet in artificial intelligence (AI), and references on this subject are far from abundant in the research literature. We contend that the ability of an artificial system to autonomously deepen its understanding of phenomena in its surroundings must be part of any system design targeting general intelligence. We present a theory of pragmatic understanding, discuss its implications for architectural design and analyze the behavior of an intelligent agent implementing the theory. Our agent learns to understand how to perform multimodal dialogue with humans through observation, becoming capable of constructing sentences with complex grammar, generating proper question-answer patterns, correctly resolving and generating anaphora with coordinated deictic gestures, producing efficient turntaking, and following the structure of interviews, without any information on this being provided up front.
