    The Artificial Scientist: Logicist, Emergentist, and Universalist Approaches to Artificial General Intelligence
    Michael Timothy Bennett, Yoshihiro Maruyama · 2021 · Artificial Intelligence · AI summary available
    Abstract

    We attempt to define what is necessary to construct an Artificial Scientist, explore and evaluate several approaches to artificial general intelligence (AGI) which may facilitate this, conclude that a unified or hybrid approach is necessary and explore two theories that satisfy this requirement to some degree.

    Neural Approaches to Conversational AI
    Jianfeng Gao, Michel Galley, Lihong Li · 2018 · Computation and Language · AI summary available
    Abstract

    The present paper surveys neural approaches to conversational AI that have been developed in the last few years. We group conversational systems into three categories: (1) question answering agents, (2) task-oriented dialogue agents, and (3) chatbots. For each category, we present a review of state-of-the-art neural approaches, draw the connection between them and traditional approaches, and discuss the progress that has been made and challenges still being faced, using specific systems and models as case studies.

    A Historical Interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy
    Youheng Zhang · 2022 · Teorie Vědy / Theory of Science, 1(1), Article 1 (2023) · Not summarized yet
    Abstract

    This paper reviews the historical development of AI and representative philosophical thinking from the perspective of the research paradigm. Additionally, it considers the methodology and applications of AI from a philosophical perspective and anticipates its continued advancement. In the history of AI, Symbolism and connectionism are the two main paradigms in AI research. Symbolism holds that the world can be explained by symbols and dealt with through precise, logical processes, but connectionism believes this process should be implemented through artificial neural networks. Regardless of how intelligent machines or programs should achieve their smart goals, the historical development of A…

    The case for psychometric artificial general intelligence
    Mark McPherson · 2020 · Artificial Intelligence · Not summarized yet
    Abstract

    A short review of the literature on measurement and detection of artificial general intelligence is made. Proposed benchmarks and tests for artificial general intelligence are critically evaluated against multiple criteria. Based on the findings, the most promising approaches are identified and some useful directions for future work are proposed.

    Explainability and the Fourth AI Revolution
    Loizos Michael · 2021 · Artificial Intelligence · AI summary available
    Abstract

    This chapter discusses AI from the prism of an automated process for the organization of data, and exemplifies the role that explainability has to play in moving from the current generation of AI systems to the next one, where the role of humans is lifted from that of data annotators working for the AI systems to that of collaborators working with the AI systems.

How are these papers found?

We compare the title and abstract of this paper with those of every paper summarized on this site, and with the papers Semantic Scholar recommends, those it cites and those citing it (for a much-cited paper, its most recent citations and, from OpenAlex, the most cited ones). Among the prior work and the follow-ups, the papers that use each other in depth, a method it uses and the much-cited follow-ups come a little higher. The levels (very close, close, related) come from the similarity of the texts, not from a judgment of quality; * marks a paper without an abstract, compared by its title. The sentence under a paper is written by an AI from the two abstracts: check it in the papers. A paper marked not relevant by three readers leaves the list.

For now only among the papers summarized on this site: search again to add the prior work, the follow-ups and Semantic Scholar’s recommendations.
