AbstractWe have been developing BriCA (Brain-inspired Computing Architecture), the generic software platform that can combine an arbitrary number of machine learning modules to construct higher structures such as cognitive architectures inspired by the brain. We discuss requirements analysis and design principles of this cognitive computing platform, report its implementation, and describe plans for further development.
