Hi David, I read the essay
I think it summarizes well some of the key issues involving the bridge between perception and cognition, and the hierarchical decomposition of natural concepts.... I find the ideas very harmonious with those of Jeff Hawkins, Itamar Arel, and other researchers focused on hierarchical deep learning approaches to vision with longer-term AGI ambitions I'm not sure there are any dramatic new ideas in the essay. Do you think there are? My own view is that these ideas are basically right, but handle only a modest percentage of what's needed to make a human-level, vaguely human-like AGI .... I.e. I don't agree that solving vision and the vision-cognition bridge is *such* a huge part of AGI, though it's certainly a nontrivial percentage... -- Ben G On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 4:44 PM, David Jones <davidher...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Guys, > > I've been working on writing out my approach to create general AI to share > and debate it with others in the field.
