Abstract

What is Common Sense Computing? And why is it so important for the technological evolution of humankind? This paper presents an overview of past, present and future efforts of the AI community to give computers the capacity for Common Sense reasoning, from Minsky’s Society of Mind to Media Laboratory’s Digital Intuition theory, and beyond. Is it actually possible to build a machine with Common Sense or is it just an utopia? This is the question this paper is trying to answer.

This paper discusses programs to manipulate in a suitable formal language (most likely a part of the predicate calculus) common instrumental statements, where the basic program will draw immediate conclusions from a list of premises.

AnalogySpace: reducing the dimensionality of common sense knowledge

171 Citations2008Robert E. Speer, Catherine Havasi +1 more

Analogy Space is presented, which accomplishes this by forming the analogical closure of a semantic network through dimensionality reduction, which self-organizes concepts around dimensions that can be seen as making distinctions such as "good vs. bad" or "easy vs. hard".

A method that uses singular value decomposition to aid in the integration of systems or representations, and can be harnessed to find and exploit correlations between different resources, enabling commonsense reasoning over a broader domain.

This paper argues that construction of a large collection of statements about everyday world (a repository of commonsense knowledge) is a valuable step towards this long-term goal of Artificial Intelligence, and points out that volunteer contributors over the Internet can be tapped to construct such a knowledge repository.
