Measuring Progress Toward AGI: A Cognitive Taxonomy
Google DeepMind proposes ten cognitive abilities as a framework for measuring general intelligence and opens a $200,000 Kaggle hackathon to build the evaluations.
Draws on psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science to define abilities such as perception, attention, learning and memory, then asks the community to build tests for them. A framework paper, not a model release.

Taxonomy is a hypothesis from the authors; the evaluations are still to be built.
