用范畴论构建通用智能架构的统一分析框架,揭示不同模型本质差异。
Working Paper: Towards a Category-theoretic Comparative Framework for Artificial General Intelligence
- 基于范畴论建立通用智能架构的形式化描述体系
- 首次将强化学习、因果强化学习等模型纳入统一框架对比
- 适合对智能系统形式化建模感兴趣的理论研究者
AGI已成为人工智能领域的圣杯,各大科技公司投入巨资追求。然而,目前尚无统一的正式定义,仅存在一些经验性评估框架。本文旨在构建一个通用、代数化且范畴论化的框架,用于描述、比较和分析不同可能的AGI架构。该框架可清晰揭示强化学习、通用人工智能、主动推断、因果强化学习、基于模式的学习等候选架构之间的共性与差异,并指明未来研究方向。从范畴论的应用视角出发,借鉴“范畴中的机器”思想,本文首次尝试将强化学习、因果强化学习及模式基础学习架构置于范畴框架下进行形式化分析。这标志着一项更广泛研究计划的开端,旨在为AGI系统提供统一的形式基础,涵盖架构结构、信息组织、智能体实现、智能体与环境交互、行为随时间演化以及属性的实证评估。框架还支持定义智能体的语法、信息及语义属性,并在具有明确特征的环境中进行评估。本文主张范畴论与AGI将形成高度共生关系。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AGI has become the Holly Grail of AI with the promise of level intelligence and the major Tech companies around the world are investing unprecedented amounts of resources in its pursuit. Yet, there does not exist a single formal definition and only some empirical AGI benchmarking frameworks currently exist. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a general, algebraic and category theoretic framework for describing, comparing and analysing different possible AGI architectures. Thus, this Category theoretic formalization would also allow to compare different possible candidate AGI architectures, such as, RL, Universal AI, Active Inference, CRL, Schema based Learning, etc. It will allow to unambiguously expose their commonalities and differences, and what is even more important, expose areas for future research. From the applied Category theoretic point of view, we take as inspiration Machines in a Category to provide a modern view of AGI Architectures in a Category. More specifically, this first position paper provides, on one hand, a first exercise on RL, Causal RL and SBL Architectures in a Category, and on the other hand, it is a first step on a broader research program that seeks to provide a unified formal foundation for AGI systems, integrating architectural structure, informational organization, agent realization, agent and environment interaction, behavioural development over time, and the empirical evaluation of properties. This framework is also intended to support the definition of architectural properties, both syntactic and informational, as well as semantic properties of agents and their assessment in environments with explicitly characterized features. We claim that Category Theory and AGI will have a very symbiotic relation.
