Intelligence and Behavioral Boundaries

摘要

In this paper, we examine Newell's definition of an agent's intelligence. The definition implies a very strict correlation between the agent's knowledge, its mind, and its behavior. Based on this correlation we argue that a concise and well-formed representation for the agent's behavior is often essential for measuring its intelligence. To meet this need, we present Behavioral Bounding, a method that can be used to calculate a concise, high-level representation of behavior. We examine both the theoretical commitments of this approach, as well as practical limitations.
