This talk will give a brief overview of the Novamente AGI architecture, which is described in more depth in the whitepapers online at www.novamente.net

The Novamente AI Engine (NAIE) is a C++ software system, currently under development, which is aimed directly at the "grand challenge" of creating robust Artificial General Intelligence at the human level and beyond.

The NAIE architecture involves a synthesis of original and familiar ideas -- including multi-agent systems, probabilistic inference, evolutionary learning, and reinforcement learning. It is grounded in a comprehensive, coherent theory of cognition based in patternist philosophy and complex systems theory.

Currently the NAIE is being developed along two parallel and interrelated courses:

For the control of a humanoid agent within the AGI-SIM 3D simulation world
To enable natural language processing within the Sagacity™ natural language question answering product

Both of these applications are considered as means to the end of powerful AGI, but also as important software applications in their own right.

In this talk, I will overview the NAIE architecture and the AGI-SIM and Sagacity™ applications, and will also briefly discuss my current research in the area of "Novamente developmental psychology."
