The Companion cognitive architecture is designed to support experiments in achieving human-level intelligence. This paper describes the seven key design goals of Companions, relating them to properties of human reasoning and learning, and to engineering concerns raised by attempting to build large-scale cognitive systems. We summarize our experiences to date with Companions in two kinds of domains, test taking and game playing. We close by summarizing some of the challenges that remain.

Abstract : Vision and space are prominent modalities in our experiences as humans. We live in a richly visual world, and are constantly and acutely aware of our position in space and our surroundings. In contrast to this seemingly precise awareness, we are also able to reason abstractly, use language, and construct arbitrary hypothetical scenarios In this position paper, we present an AI system we are building to work towards human capability in visual spatial processing. We use mental imagery in processing as our psychological basis and integrate it with symbolic processing. To design this system, we are considering constraints from the natural world (as described by psychology and neuroscience), and those uncovered by AI research. In doing so, we hope to address the gap between abstract reasoning and detailed perception.
