Abstract
A working description of "intelligence" is proposed: intelligence is characterized by autonomously evolving purposeful processing of meaningful signals (events). The purposefulness should be interpreted in terms of orientation in the environment (physical or abstract) from which the "signals" came, and the evolving nature of the process points to the dominant role of learning mechanisms in acquiring the relevant knowledge. A new model for intelligent machines - pattern learning machines, which can be viewed as far reaching symbolic generalizations of the artificial neural nets - is briefly outlined, A longer and more detailed exposition of the model is currently in press.
