Awesome Artificial General Intelligence and Computational Cognitive Sciences

An awesome & curated list for Artificial General Intelligence, an emerging inter-discipline field that combines artificial intelligence and computational cognitive sciences as majority, alone with probability and statistics, formal logic, cognitive and developmental psychology, computational philosophy, cognitive neuroscience, and computational sociology. We are promoting high-level machine intelligence by getting inspirations from the way that human learns and thinks, while obtaining a deeper understanding of human cognition simultaneously. We believe that this kind of reciprocative research is a potential way towards our big picture: building human-level intelligent systems with capabilities such as abstracting, explaining, learning, planning, and making decisions. And such intelligence may generally help people improve scientific research, engineering, and the arts, which are the hallmarks of human intelligence.

Awesome AGI & CoCoSci is an all-in-one collection, consisting of recources from basic courses and tutorials, to papers and books around diverse topics in mutiple perspectives. Both junior and senior researchers, whether learning, working on, or working around AGI and CoCoSci, meet their interest here.

About

The initiator of this repo has been struggling to taxonomize related topics, since there are so many perspectives to follow, such as task-oriented, technique-oriented, and metaphysics-oriented. Finally he decided to focus on the perspective of The Sciences of Intelligence---each topic describes a phenomenon of intelligence, or an intelligent behavior---they show the objectives of reverse-engineering human intelligence for computational methods. These topics are never restricted to specific technical methods or tasks, but are trying to organize the nature of intelligence---from both the software perspective and the hardware perspective.

Obviously, this reading list is far from covering the every aspect of AGI and CoCoSci. Since the list is a by-product of the literature reviews when the initiator is working on Abduction and Bayesian modeling, other topics are also collected with biases, more or less. Abduction may be the way humans explain the world with the known, and discover the unknown, requiring much more investigations into its computational basis, cognitive underpinnings, and applications to AI. Please feel free to reach out!
