This article surveys engineering and neuroscientific models of planning as a cognitive function, which is regarded as a typical function of fluid intelligence in the discussion of general intelligence. It aims to present existing planning models as references for realizing the planning function in brain-inspired AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI). It also proposes themes for the research and development of brain-inspired AI from the viewpoint of tasks and architecture.

Physical symbol systems are needed for open-ended cognition. A good way to understand physical symbol systems is by comparison of thought to chemistry. Both have systematicity, productivity and compositionality. The state of the art in cognitive architectures for open-ended cognition is critically assessed. I conclude that a cognitive architecture that evolves symbol structures in the brain is a promising candidate to explain open-ended cognition. Part 2 of the paper presents such a cognitive architecture.
Despite the widely-spread consensus on the brain complexity, sprouts of the single neuron revolution emerged in neuroscience in the 1970s. They brought many unexpected discoveries, including grandmother or concept cells and sparse coding of information in the brain. In machine learning for a long time, the famous curse of dimensionality seemed to be an unsolvable problem. Nevertheless, the idea of the blessing of dimensionality becomes gradually more and more popular. Ensembles of non-interacting or weakly interacting simple units prove to be an effective tool for solving essentially multidimensional problems. This approach is especially useful for one-shot (non-iterative) correction of errors in large legacy artificial intelligence systems. These simplicity revolutions in the era of complexity have deep fundamental reasons grounded in geometry of multidimensional data spaces. To explore and understand these reasons we revisit the background ideas of statistical physics. In the course of the 20th century they were developed into the concentration of measure theory. New stochastic separation theorems reveal the fine structure of the data clouds. We review and analyse biological, physical, and mathematical problems at the core of the fundamental question: how can high-dimensional brain organise reliable and fast learning in high-dimensional world of data by simple tools? Two critical applications are reviewed to exemplify the approach: one-shot correction of errors in intellectual systems and emergence of static and associative memories in ensembles of single neurons.
Search engines can quickly response a hyperlink list according to query keywords. However, when a query is complex, developers need to repeatedly refine the search keywords and open a large number of web pages to find and summarize answers. Many research works of question and answering (Q and A) system attempt to assist search engines by providing simple, accurate and understandable answers. However, without original semantic contexts, these answers lack explainability, making them difficult for users to trust and adopt. In this paper, a brain-inspired search engine assistant named DeveloperBot based on knowledge graph is proposed, which aligns to the cognitive process of human and has the capacity to answer complex queries with explainability. Specifically, DeveloperBot firstly constructs a multi-layer query graph by splitting a complex multi-constraint query into several ordered constraints. Then it models the constraint reasoning process as subgraph search process inspired by the spreading activation model of cognitive science. In the end, novel features of the subgraph will be extracted for decision-making. The corresponding reasoning subgraph and answer confidence will be derived as explanations. The results of the decision-making demonstrate that DeveloperBot can estimate the answers and answer confidences with high accuracy. We implement a prototype and conduct a user study to evaluate whether and how the direct answers and the explanations provided by DeveloperBot can assist developers information needs.
We present an end-to-end, model-based deep reinforcement learning agent which dynamically attends to relevant parts of its state, in order to plan and to generalize better out-of-distribution. The agents architecture uses a set representation and a bottleneck mechanism, forcing the number of entities to which the agent attends at each planning step to be small. In experiments with customized MiniGrid environments with different dynamics, we observe that the design allows agents to learn to plan effectively, by attending to the relevant objects, leading to better out-of-distribution generalization.
Sensory predictions by the brain in all modalities take place as a result of bottom-up and top-down connections both in the neocortex and between the neocortex and the thalamus. The bottom-up connections in the cortex are responsible for learning, pattern recognition, and object classification, and have been widely modelled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Here, we present a neural network architecture modelled on the top-down corticothalamic connections and the behaviour of the thalamus: a corticothalamic neural network (CTNN), consisting of an auto-encoder connected to a difference engine with a threshold. We demonstrate that the CTNN is input agnostic, multi-modal, robust during partial occlusion of one or more sensory inputs, and has significantly higher processing efficiency than other predictive coding models, proportional to the number of sequentially similar inputs in a sequence. This increased efficiency could be highly significant in more complex implementations of this architecture, where the predictive nature of the cortex will allow most of the incoming data to be discarded.
