From: Lukasz Stafiniak [EMAIL PROTECTED] The programs are generally required to exactly match in AIXI (but not in AIXItl I think). I'm pretty sure AIXItl wants an exact match too. There isn't anything there that lets the theoretical AI guess probability distributions and then get scored based on

My impression is that most machine learning theories assume a search space of hypotheses as a given, so it is out of their scope to compare *between* learning structures (eg, between logic and neural networks). Algorithmic learning theory - I don't know much about it - may be useful because it

Thanks for the input. There's one perplexing theorem, in the paper about the algorithmic complexity of programming, that the language doesn't matter that much, ie, the algorithmic complexity of a program in different languages only differ by a constant. I've heard something similar about the
