Once you build up good models for parsing and word sense, then you read large amounts of text and start building up model of the realities described and generalizations from them.
Assuming this is a continuation of the discussion of an AGI-at-home P2P system, you are going to be very limited by the lack of bandwidth, particularly for attacking the high dimensional problem of seeking to understand the meaning of text, which often involve multiple levels of implication, which would normally be accomplished by some sort of search of a large semantic space, which is going to be difficult with limited bandwidth. But a large amount of text with appropriate parsing and word sense labeling would still provide a valuable aid for web and text search and for many forms of automatic learning. And the level of understanding that such a P2P system could derive from reading huge amounts of text could be a valuable initial source of one component of world knowledge for use by AGI.

What would the next theoretical step be? I am not sure what the next step would be. The first step might be enough for the moment. When you have the network functioning at all, expose an API so that other programmers can come in and try to utilize sentence analysis (and other functions) as if the network is just another lobe of the brain or another component for ai. This would allow others who are possibly more creative than us to take advantage of what looks to be interesting work. - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=71438525-d92982
