Dennett’s Overlooked Originality
Minds and Machines - Tập 16 - Trang 43-55 - 2006
No philosopher has worked harder than Dan Dennett to set the possibility of machine mentality on firm philosophical footing. Dennett’s defense of this possibility has both a positive and a negative thrust. On the positive side, he has developed an account of mental activity that is tailor-made for the attribution of intentional states to purely mechanical contrivances, while on the negative side,...... hiện toàn bộ
Software Agents and Their Bodies
Minds and Machines - - 1997
Within artificial intelligence and the philosophy of mind,there is considerable disagreement over the relationship between anagent's body and its capacity for intelligent behavior. Some treatthe body as peripheral and tangential to intelligence; others arguethat embodiment and intelligence are inextricably linked. Softwareagents–-computer programs that interact with software environmentssuch as th...... hiện toàn bộ
The Chinese Room Argument Reconsidered: Essentialism, Indeterminacy, and Strong AI
Minds and Machines - Tập 13 - Trang 285-319 - 2003
I argue that John Searle's (1980) influential Chinese room argument (CRA) against computationalism and strong AI survives existing objections, including Block's (1998) internalized systems reply, Fodor's (1991b) deviant causal chain reply, and Hauser's (1997) unconscious content reply. However, a new ``essentialist'' reply I construct shows that the CRA as presented by Searle is an unsound argumen...... hiện toàn bộ
Scientific Theories of Computational Systems in Model Checking
Minds and Machines - Tập 21 - Trang 323-336 - 2011
Model checking, a prominent formal method used to predict and explain the behaviour of software and hardware systems, is examined on the basis of reflective work in the philosophy of science concerning the ontology of scientific theories and model-based reasoning. The empirical theories of computational systems that model checking techniques enable one to build are identified, in the light of the ...... hiện toàn bộ

Quantification without variables in connectionism
Minds and Machines - Tập 6 - Trang 173-201 - 1996
Connectionist attention to variables has been too restricted in two ways. First, it has not exploited certain ways of doing without variables in the symbolic arena. One variable-avoidance method, that of logical combinators, is particularly well established there. Secondly, the attention has been largely restricted to variables in long-term rules embodied in connection weight patterns. However, sh...... hiện toàn bộ
How causal knowledge simplifies decision-making
Minds and Machines - Tập 16 - Trang 365-380 - 2006
Making decisions can be hard, but it can also be facilitated. Simple heuristics are fast and frugal but nevertheless fairly accurate decision rules that people can use to compensate for their limitations in computational capacity, time, and knowledge when they make decisions [Gigerenzer, G., Todd, P. M., & the ABC Research Group (1999). Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart. New York: Oxford Univer...... hiện toàn bộ
Automatic Generation of Cognitive Theories using Genetic Programming
Minds and Machines - Tập 17 - Trang 287-309 - 2007
Cognitive neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that studies the neural mechanisms underpinning cognition and develops theories explaining them. Within cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience focuses on modeling behavior, using theories expressed as computer programs. Up to now, computational theories have been formulated by neuroscientists. In this paper, we present a new approach...... hiện toàn bộ
