Neocortical Computing: Next Generation Machine Translation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 21st century has ushered in significant advances in the understanding of how human intelligence works at the systems level. What is intelligence and how does it work are subjects that have only recently been addressed. The seminal work by Jeff Hawkins, who has been the primary pioneer in these hitherto uncharted waters, has had a profound effect on our understanding of how the human brain actually functions in the computing sense.<\/p>\n

Hawkins\u2019 theories have had a profound effect on the next generation of both computer hardware and software engineers. The single pipe Turing architecture has reached its limits. All attempts at building true artificial intelligence based on current ideas and notions have failed to deliver. Deep rural networks and aligned techniques have failed to provide any advance in our attempt at harnessing the potential of creating true artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Time to take a different approach. This requires reverse engineering what human and mammal brains do effortlessly and current software engineering attempts have failed spectacularly to deliver. Take the simple matter of a young dog running and catching a ball in mid flight. A two year old dog does it effortlessly. To program a robot to do this would require around 50 man years of effort and is currently beyond the scope of any organisation apart from possibly the US Department of Defence.<\/p>\n

Human and mammalian brains are extremely slow in comparison with todays processors and yet there capacity to learn and react to their environment is astonishing. Until Jeff Hawkins\u2019 seminal work On Intelligence there were no good or bad theories: there were none. Hawkins has laid out the architectural and computing basis for intelligence and how we can harness this in the next generation of computer architectures which are radically different than the Turing architecture that is used by today\u2019s computers.<\/p>\n

The work of Jeff Hawkins has been fundamental in furthering our understanding of intelligence. Its impact on machine translation will be significant. The effects of this new approach will have significant implications over the next 20 years. The current generation of machine translation can be described as an advanced form of Mechanical Turk. No understanding is required of the computer: in fact it cannot have any form of understanding. John Searle\u2019s Chinese Room thought experiment highlighted the limitations of our current approach to automated translation.<\/p>\n

Jeff Hawkins\u2019 theories centre on the neocortex, its structure and the way we learn and process the world around us, including language. Cortical computing will have a very profound impact on our daily lives and the way we can use truly sapient machines for translation in the future.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
