New Faculty Introduction John Licato

Research Overview Artificial Intelligence Cognitive Robotics Proof-rooted AI Human-level Reasoning Analogical Reasoning Moral and Ethical Reasoning Counterdeception

Explanation Generation Requires Reasoning “According to my algorithm, I am 67. 2% sure you have cancer. ” This is a chain of commonsense causeeffect inferences, that machine learning algorithms are bad at generating “According to this x-ray, there is this mass that typically is a strong indicator of (etc etc)”

Category: US Cities

How could this have happened? More importantly: In mission-critical domains (healthcare, military, etc. ), we need more proof-based reasoning systems
