SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying computer programs with internal world models beyond Cyc and Soar. Participants emphasize that while all programs represent aspects of the world, creating a comprehensive model is theoretically challenging due to the finite nature of the universe. The conversation suggests exploring knowledge representation and cognitive architectures as relevant areas of study. Notable terms include "knowledge representation" and "Cognitive Architecture," which are essential for understanding the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of "knowledge representation" in artificial intelligence.
  • Familiarity with "Cognitive Architecture" concepts.
  • Basic knowledge of computational models and their limitations.
  • Awareness of existing programs like Cyc and Soar.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "knowledge representation techniques" in AI.
  • Explore various "Cognitive Architectures" beyond Cyc and Soar.
  • Investigate the limitations of computational models in representing reality.
  • Examine case studies of AI programs with internal world models.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, AI developers, and students interested in cognitive architectures and knowledge representation in artificial intelligence.

Does anybody know of computer programs that have an internal model of the world (other than Cyc and Soar)? Thanks.

All (well, never say _all_ I guess) computer programs are an internal model of some little bit of world... But if you mean the Whole Shooting Match, I don't think it's theoretically possible since the number of particles in the universe is finite.

But perhaps you mean some kind of "knowledge representation", maybe language recognition and the like. Wiki "Cognitive Architecture" for a start...
