Japan STA Program: Cooperative AI Systems

该奖项将为理哈伊大学的Stephen Wong博士与Kazumasa Yokota博士在日本新一代计算机技术研究所（ICOT）进行为期12个月的合作研究提供补充支持。Wong和横田将把Wong的设计应用于协作式人工智能（AI）系统，以开发一个原型来测试这种新型计算机。对于当代人工智能来说，推理和解决问题的基本机制仍然局限于单一的、单一的知识和行动概念。为了解决更复杂的问题，人工智能系统将需要协调它们的问题解决技术，开发交互式、合作性的基于知识的流程集合。ICOT在并行推理计算和逻辑编程方面的世界领先研究将补充Wong的协作人工智能系统模型设计，并促进可操作协作人工智能系统的开发。

This award will provide supplementary support to enable Dr. Stephen Wong of Lehigh University to conduct collaborative research with Dr. Kazumasa Yokota for 12 months at the Institute for New Generation Computer Technology (ICOT) in Japan. Wong and Yokota will apply Wong's designs for cooperative artificial intelligence (AI) systems to develop a prototype to test this new class of computers. For contemporary AI, the basic mechanisms of reasoning and problem solving remain bound to a single, monolithic conception of knowledge and action. In order to solve more complex problems, AI systems will need to coordinate their problem solving techniques, developing collections of interactive, cooperative knowledge-based processes. ICOT's world- leading research on parallel inference computing and logic programming will complement Wong's model design of a cooperative AI system and facilitate the development of an operational cooperative AI system.
