Cognitive Synergy: A Principle to Guide the Tight Integration of
Heterogeneous Components in Integrative AI Systems


Ben Goertzel, Novamente LLC


The concept of "cognitive synergy" is introduced, as a formalization of the idea
that in a cognitive system containing multiple heterogeneous learning processes,
the different processes should be connected in such a way that each one can get
help from the others when it "gets stuck." The role of cognitive synergy in the
OpenCog integrative AI architecture is described, with examples given involving
the application of OpenCog to control animated agents in virtual worlds. The
potential implications of cognitive synergy for the design of neural-symbolic
systems is also discussed, in the context of an in-development system called
XIA-MAN that is intended to combine neural net evolution with OpenCog to
control a Nao humanoid robot.
