Abstract

Intelligence Science is an interdisciplinary subject that dedicates to joint research on basic theory and technology of intelligence by brain science, cognitive science, artificial intelligence and other disciplines. We have proposed a mind model CAM which is a general framework for brain-like machines. This talk will focus on the information processing in the visual pathway. Information processing in the visual pathway can be separated into objective processing and spatial processing. The Conditional Random fields based Feature Binding (CRFB) computational model is applied to visual objective processing. Feature integration theory is widely approved on the principles of the binding problem, which supplies the roadmap for our computational model. We construct the learning procedure to acquire necessary pre-knowledge for the recognition network on reasonable hypothesis–maximum entropy. With the recognition network, we bind the low-level image features with the high-level knowledge. For visual spatial processing, we explore three important kinds of relationship between objects that can be queried: topology, distance, and direction.
