A Geometric Theory of Cognition for Machine Intelligence
- 在学习到的潜在流形上用黎曼梯度流实现认知计算
- 在部分可观测环境中表现优于前馈模型,接近循环架构鲁棒性
- 适合研究具身智能、世界模型与动态系统建模的学者
构建能统一表征、记忆、适应与预测的人工智能体仍是重大挑战。本文提出一种几何框架:认知计算源于学习到的潜在流形上的黎曼梯度流。所学度量编码表征约束与计算偏好,几何各向异性自然产生多时间尺度行为,实现快速反应与缓慢适应,无需显式记忆模块或循环机制。通过黎曼表征与动力学模型实例化该框架,并在部分可观测强化学习环境进行评估。在观测遮蔽、感官中断、动态扰动及预测潜变量建模任务中,该方法持续优于前馈基线,鲁棒性接近循环架构,且潜变量轨迹高度可预测,长期滚动误差低。结果表明,学习到的潜空间几何可同时作为表征、记忆、适应与预测的基础。更广泛地,该框架为动力系统、表示学习与基于世界模型的智能提供了原则性连接。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Developing artificial agents that unify representation, memory, adaptation, and prediction remains a fundamental challenge in artificial intelligence. Here we introduce a geometric framework in which cognitive computation emerges from Riemannian gradient flow on a learned latent manifold. The learned metric encodes representational constraints and computational preferences, while anisotropies in the geometry naturally generate multiple timescales of behaviour, yielding both rapid reactive responses and slower adaptive dynamics without explicit memory modules or recurrent mechanisms. We instantiate this framework through Riemannian representation and dynamics models and evaluate them in partially observable reinforcement-learning environments. Across observation masking, sensory blackouts, dynamics perturbations, and predictive latent-modelling tasks, the proposed approach consistently outperforms feedforward baselines, achieves robustness comparable to recurrent architectures, and produces highly predictable latent trajectories with low long-horizon rollout error. These results suggest that learned latent geometry can serve simultaneously as a substrate for representation, memory, adaptation, and prediction. More broadly, the framework provides a principled connection between dynamical systems, representation learning, and world-model-based intelligence.
