COMPARATIVE CAPABILITES

We define capabilities here as major AI techniques and other well grounded topics which are utilized by the architecture being considered. These topics include learning, planning, problem solving and intentionality, to name a few.

This chart cross-references architectures with capabilities. It allows you to immediately compare the architectures' capabilities against each other. It also allows you to immediately see which architectures support which capabilities. You may click on the entries in the chart to learn how/why an architecture supports/doesn't support a capability. You may click on the leftmost column for a brief definition of the row's capability. Finally, you may click on the architecture names that head each column to jump to the overviews of the selected architecture.

NOTE: You may need to widen the Mosaic window and/or reduce the typesize to see all the architectures.
