I agree we need less philosophy and speculation on which approaches to AGI should work, and more experiments to back up untested ideas. Obviously I haven't solved AGI, but you can find my work, mostly in data compression, at http://mattmahoney.net/dc/ My main result that is relevant to AGI is the large text benchmark. Compressing text is equivalent to predicting text, which is equivalent to passing the Turing test. In my tests of thousands of versions of 200 programs, the best results are obtained by programs that model the lexical, semantic, and grammatical categories of language using neural networks with fixed low level features and trainable higher level features using algorithms I implemented in the PAQ series of compressors. Across all algorithms, prediction accuracy (measured by compression), and thus intelligence, increases with the log of CPU speed and log of memory. (I suspect log of software complexity too but the trend is not clear). This suggests the reason for the pattern of AI and AGI failures. Initial promising results tend to lead to underestimating the difficulty of the problem. Most people, when asked, cannot say how much their design will cost in lines of code or operations per second or dollars, so they simply guess with no justification something they can afford. You will also find links to my papers and open source software. You might find my paper on the cost of AI interesting, if not controversial.

But*hobbyist work on AGI requires some experimental work which can be looked by peers* -other people with AGI interests- and IMNSHO such experiment means open source or free software <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software> software [sub-]systems related to AGI. I see few of such academic free software software sub-systems (somehow indirectly related to AGI) even mentioned on this mailing list.I would appreciate more sharing and discussion of results, less pointless speculation and arguing about whose theory is best. None of us really know how to build AGI, so it ends up being the blind trying to lead the blind.I fully agree with that. I don't claim to know how to build AGI. I do have some beliefs (mostly shared with J.Pitrat's ones <http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/>), see below (where I just repeat what I wrote before) In my initial email asking about scholar references in Russian, I wrote not onlyHowever, I am (aged 60 and....) more and more interested in reading Russian academic papers -in particular experimental ones- on the following topics (see Pitrat's blog <http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/>): * symbolic AGI * common sense reasoning * metaknowledge based AI systems * reflective and introspective AI systems.but also, (initially in smaller fonts)I am interested by experimental free software AGI systems, not by "pseudo-theoretical bullshit" or "I need a million US$ to make AGI" kind of messages. I would like a reliable automatic free software which filters such useless and annoying messages. *I strongly believe that AGI is as difficult to achieve as e.g. a human expedition to Mars, or a controlled nuclear fusion reactor (à la ITER).*-- Basile STARYNKEVITCH ==http://starynkevitch.net/Basile opinions are mine only - les opinions sont seulement miennes Bourg La Reine, France;<[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]> (mobile phone: cf my web page / voir ma page web...) *Artificial General Intelligence List <https://agi.topicbox.com/latest>* / AGI / see discussions <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi> + participants <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/members> + delivery options <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription> Permalink <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tc1fd5fc7fae0a6a9-M28a62921a08f19e19d535c16>
