I agree. AI has a long history of doing the easy part of the problem first: solving the mathematics or logic of a word problem, and deferring the hard part, which is extracting the right formal statement from the natural language input. This is the opposite order of how children learn. The proper order is: lexical rules first, then semantics, then grammar, and then the problem solving. The whole point of using massive parallel computation is to do the hard part of the problem. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- 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=71493437-c427ac
