The general theory of artificial intelligence includes the study of neural-like elements and multidimensional neural-like growing networks, temporary and long term memory, study of the functional organization of the “brain” of the artificial intelligent systems, of the sensor system, modulating system, motor system.
Yes, there are several theories related to the study of AI, including computational theory, connectionism, and cognitive simulation. These theories provide frameworks for understanding and developing artificial intelligence systems. Please follow me if it's helpful. All the very best. Regards, Safiul
Here are the theories with their respective links:
Computational Theory of Mind: This theory posits that the human mind can be understood as a computational system. It suggests that cognitive processes can be modeled and simulated using computational algorithms and structures. Link: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Computational Theory of Mind
Connectionism: Connectionist theory emphasizes the role of interconnected nodes (neurons) in artificial neural networks. It suggests that complex cognitive processes emerge from the interaction of simple processing units, akin to how neurons interact in the human brain. Link: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Connectionism
Cognitive Simulation: This theory involves creating computer models that simulate human cognitive processes, such as perception, reasoning, and learning. These models aim to replicate human-like behavior and understanding. Link: ScienceDirect - Cognitive Simulation
Please follow the links for more detailed information on each theory. All the very best. Regards, Safiul
If you want old style theory you might want to look at the first book about neural networks, it was called “Introduction to electronic brains” or something like that, around 1960 I believe (someone might correct me on that). However, if you will google for what you need (control, regression, classification, ...) you will for sure find good books and all of them will have theory included.
