My main focus is the architecture of mind. I strive to build larger, more complete systems than achieved to date, with the goal of understanding intelligence as a holistic system. Natural intelligence, as observed in humans and animals, is the result of multiple systems and subsystems, implementing a complex pattern of information flow and controlled interaction with each other. My approach is influenced by cognitive science and AI research on modular cognitive decomposition which has been articulated at a relatively high level of abstraction by Marvin Minsky and Michael Arbib, among others.
I recently started doing research on sentient systems — intelligent systems that are aware of their operating context, are knowledgeable about the environment and have a semantic relationship to their own being. Among the most interesting projects at the moment is an artificial radio show host that can conduct a full radio program completely autonomously, including interviews with listeners.
