Abstract:
The
Ersatz Brain Project is an attempt to design a suitable computer for the
efficient execution of the software now being developed that will display
human-like cognitive abilities.
Requirements of the proposed software are primary in shaping our
hardware design.
We
will review some of the basic assumptions of our approach and discuss a couple
of potential applications in a little detail:
(1) Arithmetic operations and their control structures; (2) sensor
fusion and (3) some thoughts about big semantic nets.
