Key research themes
1. How are brain-inspired cognitive computing architectures advancing autonomous intelligence generation beyond classical AI?
This research theme investigates cognitive computing systems modeled on the brain's mechanisms to transcend limitations of classical AI, focusing on architectures enabling autonomous intelligence generation (AIG) without reliance on pretraining or exhaustive data inputs. The central significance lies in creating computing paradigms that mimic human cognitive capabilities in knowledge abstraction, inference, and decision-making, promising training-free, self-inferencing machines.
2. What is the role of symbiotic cognitive computing in enhancing human-computer collaboration for real-time decision-making?
This theme explores cognitive computing's potential to establish symbiotic relationships between humans and machines that amplify human cognitive performance, especially in complex real-time environments. It focuses on systems supporting collaborative activities such as strategic decision-making through seamless integration of intelligent agents and human users, addressing cognitive bottlenecks and designing frictionless cognitive environments.
3. How can cognitive dynamic systems and probabilistic computation model natural intelligence for improved decision-making in real-world applications?
This theme addresses leveraging probabilistic programming, stochastic arithmetic, and cognitive dynamic systems (CDS) to emulate human cognition under uncertainty, enabling fault-tolerant, adaptive decision-making in complex linear/nonlinear environments. It emphasizes translating neuroscientific models of perception-action cycles and Bayesian inference into hardware and software systems for domains such as sensorimotor control, healthcare, and communication.
