Abstract

In this work, we present a design enhancement to the DSO Cognitive Architecture to augment its existing cognitive functions in an attempt to produce more general level of artificial intelligence in computational intelligent systems. Our design is centered on the concept of unified reasoning that indirectly addresses the diversity dilemma in designing cognitive architectures. This is done by implementing an integrative memory with the incorporation of the Global Workspace Theory. We discuss how other cognitive architectures using the Global Workspace Theory have influenced our design and also demonstrate how the new design can be used to solve an image captioning problem.
