• Abstract: One of the fundamental aspects of cognitive architectures is their ability to encode and manipulate knowledge. Without a consistent, well-designed, and scalable knowledge management scheme, an architecture will be unable to move past toy problems and tackle the broader problems of cognition. In this paper, we document some of the challenges we have faced in developing the knowledge stack for the Companion cognitive architecture and discuss the tools, representations, and practices we have developed to overcome them. We also lay out a series of potential next steps that will allow Companion agents to play a greater role in managing their own knowledge. It is our hope that these observations will prove useful to other cognitive architecture developers facing similar challenges.

• Imagining and building wise machines: The centrality of AI metacognition [78.76893632793497]
  We argue that shortcomings stem from one overarching failure: AI systems lack wisdom. While AI research has focused on task-level strategies, metacognition is underdeveloped in AI systems. We propose that integrating metacognitive capabilities into AI systems is crucial for enhancing their robustness, explainability, cooperation, and safety.

We show that LeAp improves all backbones' performances, learns accurate knowledge, and achieves a more interpretable reasoning process.

  Humans learn compositional and causal abstraction, ie, knowledge, in response to the structure of naturalistic tasks.

This benchmark is centered around a novel task domain, HALMA, for visual concept development and rapid problem-solving.
