Human-inspired Perspectives: A Survey on AI Long-term Memory.

"This paper begins by systematically introducing the mechanisms of human long-term memory, then explores AI long-term memory mechanisms."

In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of long-term memory in artificial intelligence, inspired by human cognition. We discuss the mechanisms that underpin human long-term memory and how they can inform the development of AI systems capable of storing and utilizing information over extended periods. Key insights include the proposed Cognitive Architecture of Self-Adaptive Long-term Memory (SALM) and its implications for future AI advancements. Understanding these concepts is vital for professionals seeking to enhance AI performance across various applications.

Authors and Paper Title

Bowen Li, Zhaoyu Li, Qiwei Du, Jinqi Luo, Wenshan Wang, Yaqi Xie, Simon Stepputtis, Chen Wang, Katia Sycara, Pradeep Ravikumar, Alexander Gray, Xujie Si, Sebastian Scherer - "LogiCity: Advancing Neuro-Symbolic AI with Abstract Urban Simulation".

“Unlike most existing deep neural networks, humans don’t make predictions or decisions in a relatively black-box way. Instead, when we learn to drive a vehicle, practice sports, or solve math problems, we naturally leverage and explore underlying symbolic representations and structures.”

Episode Description

This episode explores LogiCity, a new open-source simulator pushing the boundaries of neuro-symbolic AI (NeSy). LogiCity simulates a complex urban environment where different agents, such as pedestrians, cars, and ambulances, interact. What sets LogiCity apart is its foundation in first-order logic (FOL), enabling the creation of realistic scenarios governed by abstract rules and concepts. The episode highlights how LogiCity addresses limitations of current NeSy benchmarks, which often lack real-world complexity. It discusses two key tasks:

• Safe Path Following (SPF): agents navigate efficiently while obeying traffic rules
• Visual Action Prediction (VAP): challenging algorithms to predict agent actions based on noisy visual inputs.

The authors’ experiments reveal the NeSy frameworks’ ability to learn abstractions and generalize to new compositions of unseen agents, opening new avenues for developing more robust, interpretable AI systems.
