I am currently a PhD candidate at Temple University, as a member of Temple AGI Team. My research direction is Artificial General Intelligence. I have been curious about how our mind works. I am dedicated to exploring the principles of intelligence, building a theory of intelligence, creating intelligent machines, and liberating human beings from burdensome mental work.

📝 Publications

• What Do You Mean By “Open World”?. Bowen Xu, NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Open-World Agents.

• Causal Inference in NARS. Bowen Xu, and Pei Wang*, AGI-Conference 2024 | Video, 2024.07

• Artificial Open World for Evaluating AGI: a Conceptual Design. Bowen Xu*, and Quansheng Ren*, AGI-Conference 2022 | Video, 2022.08 | 视频, 2022.07
  • We argued that the major concern of fairly evaluating AGI in practice is to avoid “the trap of developers’ experience”, which means it is humans rather than machines who solve problems.
  • The measure of intelligence is related to the adaptive (or learning) speed.

• The Gap between Intelligence and Mind. Bowen Xu, Xinyi Zhan, and Quansheng Ren*, AGI-Conference 2021 | Video, 2021.10

• Estimating the Depth of Anesthesia from EEG Signals Based on a Deep Residual Shrinkage Network. Meng Shi, Ziyu Huang, Guowen Xiao, Bowen Xu, Quansheng Ren*, and Hong Zhao*, Sensors, 2023.

   Preprint

• A Brain-Inspired Sequence Learning Model based on a Logic. Bowen Xu, 2023.
  • The earlier version is the technical report A Model of Sequential Learning based on Non-Axiomatic Logic.

   Non-publication

• What is Meant by AGI? On the Definition of Artificial General Intelligence. Bowen Xu, 2024. | Video by James Griffin, 2024.05
  • I summarized the genious ideas on the definitions of intelligence proposed in previous works.
  • The definition of AGI was provided, “An Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) system is a computer that is adaptive to the open environment with limited computational resources and that satisfies certain principles.” The terms ‘adaptive’, ‘open environment’, and ‘certain principles’ were specified in the paper.
• AGI Survey (in progress)
  • Please contact me if you have suggestions or want to collaborate.
