Title
Accelerating progress in Artificial General Intelligence: Choosing a benchmark for natural world interaction.
Abstract
A benchmark in the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) would allow evaluation and comparison of the many computational intelligence algorithms that have been developed. In this paper I propose that an ideal benchmark for natural world interaction would possess seven key characteristics: fitness, breadth, specificity, low cost, simplicity, range, and task focus. I also describe two benchmarks that meet most of these criteria well. In the first, the direction task, a human coach directs a machine to perform a novel task in an unfamiliar environment. The direction task is extremely broad and may be suitable as a long-term benchmark. In the second, the AGI battery, AGI candidates are evaluated based on their performance on a collection of more specific tasks. The AGI battery is designed to be appropriate to the capabilities of currently existing systems and may be a better near-term benchmark. The paper concludes with a description of a task that might be included in the AGI battery: the search and retrieve task.
