Mother Night Kurt Vonnegut · 1961 · ★ 4.2 · 206p · ≈ 6h · Moderate Mother Night is a daring challenge to our moral sense. American Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a spy during World War II, is now on trial in Israel as a Nazi war criminal. But is he really guilty? In this brilliant book rife with true gallows humor, Vonnegut turns black and white into a chilling shade of gray with a verdict that will haunt us all. Shares: Community pick

Foundations of Augmented Cognition Dylan D. Schmorrow · 2005 · 1304p · ≈ 43h · Moderate Bringing together a comprehensive and diverse collection of research, theory, and thought, this volume builds a foundation for the new field of Augmented Cognition research and development. The first section introduces general Augmented Cognition methods and techniques, including physiological and neurophysiological measures such as EEG and fNIR; adaptive techniques; and sensors and algorithms… Shares: Cognition, Artificial Intelligence

Conceptual coordination William J. Clancey · 1999 · 424p · ≈ 14h · Moderate This book bridges the gap between models of human behavior that are based on cognitive task analysis and those based on neural networks. The author argues that these approaches are incomplete and not properly related to each other. His synthesis reconciles the very different conceptualizations of human memory assumed by these two approaches by assuming that 'what the brain remembers' is not a… Shares: Cognition, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Satisficing Games and Decision Making Wynn C. Stirling · 2003 · 267p · ≈ 8h · Moderate Shares: Cybernetics, Artificial Intelligence

A Systems Perspective On Financial Systems Jeffrey Yi-Lin Forrest · 2014 · 570p · ≈ 19h · Moderate This book is devoted to a systems-theoretical presentation of the main results of applying the systemic yoyo model and relevant analytical tools to the topics of money and financial institutions. The author presents the main concepts and results of the subject matter in the language of systems science, which has in the past century prompted revolut Shares: Cybernetics, Artificial Intelligence

The Alignment Problem Brian Christian · 2020 · ★ 4.3 · 356p · ≈ 11h · Moderate "A jaw-dropping exploration of everything that goes wrong when we build AI systems-and the movement to fix them. Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us-and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Knowledge spaces Dietrich Albert · 1999 · 240p · ≈ 8h · Moderate Based on the formal concept of "knowledge structures" originally proposed by Jean-Claude Falmagne and Jean-Paul Doignon, this book contains descriptions of methodological developments and experimental investigations as well as applications for various knowledge domains. The authors address three main topics: theoretical issues and extensions of Doignon & Falmagne's theory of knowledge… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Superintelligence Nick Bostrom · 2014 · ★ 4.0 · 352p · ≈ 11h · Moderate The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains. If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

The Master Algorithm Pedro Domingos · 2015 · ★ 3.7 · 352p · ≈ 11h · Moderate In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Artificial general intelligence Ben Goertzel · 2007 · ★ 3.9 · 268p · ≈ 8h · Moderate This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Artificial General Intelligence, AGI 2012, held in Oxford, UK, in December 2012. The 34 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers are written by leading scientists involved in research and development of AI systems… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Inferred functions of performance and learning Siegfried Engelmann · 2003 · 536p · ≈ 17h · Moderate This ambitious, highly theoretical book provides a capstone for the careers of two very distinguished scholars. It begins with an analysis of what functions and systems must exist for any organism or machine to perform an unlearned act, that is, with an analysis of what must be "wired into" the organism or machine. Once the basics of unlearned responding have been established, the authors then… Shares: Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence
