3. The Need for Computational Intelligence in Intelligent Computers
• In celebrating the 100th anniversary of Turing and his
pioneer work, curiosity may lead to a fundamental
q
question:
- If more intelligent computers that think, reason, and
learn may be developed?
- They are known as Cognitive Computers (cCs)

or system ability that
autonomously transfers a piece
of information into a behavior:

7. Constraints of Classic Computers
• The Turing and von Neumann machines are generic data
processors created on a basic assumption that objects
and behavior of any computing problem can be reduced
onto th bit l
t the level.
l
• However, there is an entire range of complex problems in
the real world that may impossibly, or at least, inefficiently
be reduced onto bits.
ICCSA’12, Salvador, Brazil, June 18-20, 2012 Dr. Y. Wang 7
8. Data Processors vs. Knowledge Processors
• Is it possible to advance the classic computing theories
and technologies closer to those of human brains as a
natural knowledge processor that does not reason in ?
• Instead of reducing every computing problem and
solution onto as in conventional data computers, the
next generation of k
t ti f knowledge computers k
l d t known as
cognitive computers need to be able to directly process
human knowledge in .

10. Cognitive Informatics
• Cognitive informatics (CI) is a transdisciplinary enquiry
of computer science, information science, cognitive
science, and intelligence science, which studies:
- The internal information processing mechanisms and
processes of natural intelligence;
- The theoretical framework and denotational
mathematics of abstract intelligence;
- Their engineering applications by cognitive computing.

11. Advances of Human Brain of Natural Intelligence
• What make human beings
as human?
- Walk
- Making tools
- Work
- Languages
g g
- Abstract thinking/inference capability of the brain
• The quantitative advantage of human brain states that the magnitude
of the memory capacity of the brain is tremendously larger than
that of the closest species.
• The qualitative advantage of human brain states that the possession
of the abstract layer of memory and the abstract reasoning capacity
makes human brain profoundly powerful on the basis of the
quantitative advantage.

• Abstract intelligence, I, is the universal mathematical
form of intelligence that transfers information into

20. αI is Mainly a Mathematical Entity
• The lasting vigor of automata theory, Turing machines,
and formal inference methodologies reveals that
suitable mathematical means such as set, relations,
tuples, processes, and symbolic logics are the
essences of abstract and computational intelligence
intelligence.
• Although these profound mathematical structures
underlie the modeling of natural and machine
intelligence, the level of their mathematical entities is
too low to be able to process concepts, knowledge, and
series of behavioral processes.

22. New Problems Need New Forms of Mathematics
• The domain of problems in CI and αI are Hyper Structures beyond
that of pure real numbers or bits .
• The maturity of a discipline is characterized by the maturity of its
mathematical means.
• The requirements for reduction of complex knowledge onto the
low-level data objects in conventional computing technologies and
their associated analytic mathematical means have greatly
constrained th inference and computing ability toward the
t i d the i f d ti bilit t d th
development of intelligent knowledge processors known as
cognitive computers.
• This has triggered the current transdisciplinary investigation into
new mathematical structures for I in the category of denotational
mathematics.

Analytic

Analytic mathematics deals with mathematical entities with accurate
relations and functions.
Numerical mathematics – recursive and approx. functions on
Numerical mathematics deals with mathematical entities with discrete
and recursively approximate relations and functions.
Denotational mathematics –Series of dynamic functions on [HyperStructures]
Denotational mathematics deals with high-level mathematical entities
beyond numbers and sets, such as abstract objects, complex
relations, behavioral information, concepts, knowledge, processes,
inferences, decisions, intelligence, and systems.
Given a certain mathematical structure, when both its functions and I/O are
adaptive in a series, it belongs to the category of denotational mathematics;
otherwise, it falls into the category of analytic mathematics or numerical
mathematics.

53. Advantages of CLE in cCs
• Learn common or professional knowledge faster than
human does
• Learn and process knowledge continually beyond the
natural memory creation constraints of humans
y
• They may never forget a piece of learned knowledge
once that has been cognized and memorized
• Most excitingly, they can directly transfer learned
knowledge to peers without requiring re-learning
re learning
because they use the same knowledge representation
