TY - JOUR T1 - Computational Foundations of Natural Intelligence JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/166785 SP - 166785 AU - Marcel van Gerven Y1 - 2017/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/07/25/166785.abstract N2 - New developments in AI and neuroscience are revitalizing the quest to understanding natural intelligence, offering insight about how to equip machines with human-like capabilities. This paper reviews some of the computational principles relevant for understanding natural intelligence and, ultimately, achieving strong AI. After reviewing basic principles, a variety of computational modeling approaches is discussed. Subsequently, I concentrate on the use of artificial neural networks as a framework for modeling cognitive processes. This paper ends by outlining some of the challenges that remain to fulfill the promise of machines that show human-like intelligence. ER -
