We can make the world a better place
Science and technology which do not make people happy are not meaningful and good, at least for people
I always hope to be a philosopher standing at the boundary of knowledge
The most fundamental attitude required of professional researchers is to pursue rigor/rigorousness
My long-term research goal is to understand and develop the mechanisms of abstraction, imagination, and knowledge expansion of human beings.
I aim at creating intelligent, autonomous, and ethical agents that can interact with other agents or a wide range of complex and dynamic environments through their own logical thinking processes (cognition, reasoning, understanding, learning, etc.)
Keywords: intelligence, (self) learning, autonomy, adaptation, abstraction, imagination, machine ethics
