Abstract

Cognition, judgment, action, and expression acquisition have been widely treated in studies on recently developed deep learning. However, although each study has been specialised for specific tasks and goals, cognitive architecture that integrates many different functions remains necessary for the realisation of artificial general intelligence. To that end, a cognitive architecture fully described with restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) in a unified way are promising, and we have begun to implement various cognitive functions with an RBM base. In this paper, we propose new stacked half RBMs (SHRBMs) made from layered half RBMs (HRBMs) that handle working memory. We show that an ability to solve maze problems that requires working memory improves drastically when SHRBMs in the agent’s judgment area are used instead of HRBMs or other RBM-based models.
