Abstract (arXiv)

A machine thinking model is proposed in this report based on recent advances of computer vision and the recent results of neuroscience devoted to brain understanding. We deliver the result of machine thinking in the form of sentences of natural-language or drawn sketches either informative or decisional. This result is obtained from a reasoning performed on new acquired data and memorized data.
