Abstract

A cognitive architecture specifies a computational infrastructure that defines the various regions/functions working as a whole to produce human-like intelligence [1]. It also defines the main connectivity and information flow between various regions/functions. These functions and the connectivity between them in turn facilitate and provide implementation specifications for a variety of algorithms. Drawing inspirations from Computational Science, Neuroscience and Psychology, a top-level cognitive architecture which models the information processing in human brain is developed. Three key design principles [2] inspired by the brain “Hierarchical Structure, Distributed Memory and Parallelism“ are incorporated into the architecture. A prototype cognitive system is developed and it is able to bring to bear different types of knowledge to solve a problem. It has been applied to object recognition in images. The cognitive system is able to exploit bottom up perceptual information, top down contextual knowledge and visual feedback in a way similar to how human utilizes different knowledge to recognize objects in images.
