Metacognitive Skill Learning: A Computational Account

Brendan Conway-Smith

This dissertation presents the first formal theory of metacognitive skill learning. Metacognition, the capacity to monitor and control one's own cognitive processes, has been widel…

Enhancing Metacognitive AI: Knowledge-Graph Population with Graph-Theoretic LLM Enrichment

Deniz Askin, Gal Hadar, Brendan Conway-Smith

Metacognition-the ability to monitor one's own knowledge state, spot gaps, and autonomously fill them--remains largely absent from modern AI. Here, we present MetaKGEnrich, a fully…

Metacognitive threshold: a computational account

Brendan Conway-Smith, Robert L. West

This paper will explore ways of computationally accounting for the metacognitive threshold -- the minimum amount of stimulus needed for a mental state to be perceived -- and discus…

AAAI 2022 Fall Symposium: System-1 and System-2 realized within the Common Model of Cognition

Brendan Conway-Smith, Robert L. West

Attempts to import dual-system descriptions of System-1 and System-2 into AI have been hindered by a lack of clarity over their distinction. We address this and other issues by sit…

Clarifying System 1 & 2 through the Common Model of Cognition

Brendan Conway-Smith, Robert L. West

There have been increasing challenges to dual-system descriptions of System-1 and System-2, critiquing them as imprecise and fostering misconceptions. We address these issues here…
