Tim Hosgood (Feb 21 2022 at 12:29):Abstract.
This talk will be fairly high-level and requires no prior technical background. We will introduce the notion of compositional intelligence that my Oxford-based CQ-team is trying to achieve.
In particular, starting from the compositional match between natural language and quantum, which also extends to other domains [1], we will argue that a new generation of AI can emerge when fully pushing this analogy while exploiting the completeness of categorical quantum mechanics [2].
We also discuss the notion of compositionality itself, which takes many different forms within many different contexts, and how the one we need goes beyond previous ones [3].
