Intelligence
AI’s holy grail
From Pattie Maes MIT Media Lab
• “…Perhaps the last frontier of science – its ultimate challenge- is
to understand the biological basis of consciousness and the
mental process by which we perceive, act, learn and remember..”
from Principles of Neural Science by E. R. Kandel et al.
E. R. Kandel won Nobel Price in 2000 for his work on physiological basis of
memory storage in neurons.
• “…The question of intelligence is the last great terrestrial
frontier of science...” from Jeff Hawkins On Intelligence. Jeff Hawkins
founded the Redwood Neuroscience Institute devoted to brain research. He
co-founded Palm Computing and Handspring Inc.

How can we design intelligence?
• We need to know how
• We need means to
implement it
• We need resources to build
and sustain its operation

Sparse Structure
• 1012 neurons in human brain are
sparsely connected
• On average, each neuron is
connected to other neurons through
about 104 synapses
• Sparse structure enables efficient
computation and saves energy and
cost

Conclusions & Future work
• Sparse coding building in sparsely connected networks
• WTA scheme: local competition accomplish the global competition
using primary and secondary layers –efficient hardware
implementation
• OTA scheme: local competition produces neuronal activity reduction
• OTA – redundant coding: more reliable and robust
• WTA & OTA: learning memory for developing machine intelligence
Future work:
• Introducing temporal sequence learning
• Building motor pathway on such learning memory
• Combining with goal-creation pathway to build intelligent machine
