Building an intelligent machine with human-like perception, interaction, learning, and reasoning remains a significant and challenging problem. Despite the recent remarkable progress in artificial intelligence, especially the deep learning techniques, we are still far from reaching this goal. Human intelligence exhibits unique advantages in learning to solve multiple tasks from limited data, acquiring skills and knowledge from interactions, learning efficiently with stages, and generalizing concepts to novel domains and environments. Merely combining individual algorithms without a human-centric architecture is hopeless for achieving such comprehensive capabilities.
