Publications

While the Comirit Project remains in early days, we are pleased to make available the following research papers on Comirit and its underlying architecture:

Simulation Technology

Paper:	A Generic Framework for Approximate Simulation in Commonsense Reasoning Systems
Conference:	The Eighth International Symposium on Logical Formalizations of Commonsense Reasoning
Download:	PDF Format

This paper presents the principal simulation technology used within the Comirit project and is a key reference for understanding the deductive capabilities of a Comirit system.

Integrative Architecture

Paper:	Comirit: Commonsense Reasoning by Integrating Simulation and Logic
Conference:	The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence
Download:	PDF Format

This paper presents the integrative architecture used within the Comirit project; explaining how the simulation technology can be integrated with logical deduction (and potentially a large range of other deductive methods).

Learning Capabilities

Paper:	Autonomous Learning of Commonsense Simulations
Conference:	The Ninth International Symposium on Logical Formalizations of Commonsense Reasoning
Download:	PDF Format

This paper explains how the integrative architecture can be extended to support machine learning capabilities, and how learning can be used by a robot or software agent to automatically construct simulations from its experiences.
