Unique Selling Points for the SP Theory of Intelligence

Introduction The SP Theory of Intelligence (SPTI) and its realisation in the SP Computer Model (SPCM), outlined below, are founded on substantial evidence for the importance of information compression (IC) across diverse aspects of intelligence in people and other animals. This area of research was pioneered by Fred Attneave [1, 2], Horace Barlow [3, 4] and Satosi Watanabe [9, 10], and is described fairly fully in [14]. In the rest of this article, references to the SPTI should be understood to include references to the SPCM. Despite its name, the SPTI should not be seen as a fully-developed theory of human-level intelligence, aka Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Instead, it should be seen as a foundation that may be developed towards AGI, beginning with developments described in [6]. Outline of the SPTI The most comprehensive description of the SPTI and SPCM2 is in the book [11]. A shortened version of the book is described in [13]. And a nearly-complete tutorial about the S ...
