The resource allocation problem and why it needs to be solved first How much memory and processing power should you apply to the following things?:
Visual Processing Reasoning Sound Processing Seeing past experiences and how they apply to the current one Searching for new ways of doing things Applying each heuristic Is there one right way of deciding these things when you have limited resources? At time A might you want more reasoning done (while in a debate) and at time B more visual processing (while driving). There is also the long term memory problem, should you remember your first kiss or the first star trek episode you saw. Which is more important? An intelligent system needs to solve this problem for itself, as only it will know what is important for the problems it faces. That is it is a local problem. It also requires resources itself. If resources are tight then very approximate methods of determining how many resources to spend on each activity. Due to this, the resource management should not be algorithmic, but free to adapt to the amount of resources at hand. I'm intent on a economic solution to the problem, where each activity is an economic actor. This approach needs to be at the lowest level because each activity has to be programmed with the knowledge of how to act in an economic setting as well as to perform its job. How much should it pay for the other activities of the the programs around it? I'll attempt to write a paper on this, with proper references (Baum, Mark Miller et Al.) But I would be interested in feedback at this stage, Will Pearson ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=98558129-0bdb63 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
