The proposed architecture is a fully autonomous, bio-inspired cognitive agent powered by a spiking neural network (SNN) that implements semantic memory. This SNN-based agent learns object/situation and action concepts in a one-shot manner, with the latter being triples consisting of an initial situation, motor activity, and outcome. The agent’s knowledge of its universe is encoded in these action triples, which serve as the basis for decision-making. By querying its semantic memory, the agent predicts the outcomes of envisioned actions and selects the optimal course of action. Experimental results demonstrate that the agent adapts to new situations by leveraging previously learned general concepts and quickly updates its understanding of the environment.

The researchers created a special kind of computer program called a cognitive agent. This agent can learn and make decisions on its own, just like we do! It’s based on how our brains work, with tiny “neurons” that send signals to each other. The agent learns about objects and situations in the world, as well as what actions it can take and what will happen if it does those things. When the agent needs to make a decision, it uses this information to predict what will happen if it takes a certain action. This helps it choose the best course of action. The scientists tested their program and found that it can learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
