Kernel Based Cognitive Architecture for Autonomous Agents (2207.00822v1)

Abstract: One of the main problems of modern cognitive architectures is an excessively schematic approach to modeling the processes of cognitive activity. It does not allow the creation of a universal architecture that would be capable of reproducing mental functions without using a predetermined set of perceptual patterns. This paper considers an evolutionary approach to creating a cognitive functionality. The basis of our approach is the use of the functional kernel which consistently generates the intellectual functions of an autonomous agent. We consider a cognitive architecture which ensures the evolution of the agent on the basis of Symbol Emergence Problem solution. Evolution of cognitive abilities of the agent is described on the basis of the theory of constructivism.
