Hi, I've posted the recording of last week's (interesting) AGI Discussion Forum session on Minecraft for AGI at
https://wiki.opencog.org/w/AGI_Discussion_Forum#Sessions Also have announced the next session which will be June 4 (3 weeks rather than 2 weeks after the previous one to accommodate my traveling inbetween...) and will focus on Automated Program Learning for AGI ... On the wiki page I linked to some 2011 AGI conference talks on Self-Programming, and also a nice old deck from Moshe Looks on program learning for AGI ... Relatedly, I also started musing about how the recently released https://github.com/IBM/Project_CodeNet could maybe useful for AGI-ish program learning R&D It's a large-ish (4000 or so) set of textual program requirements, paired with programs fulfilling the requirements in multiple languages from a bunch of coding competitions It seems to me this could be used to drive AGI-ish program learning via a multi-step process 1) Take something like 100 of the programs in the corpus and write corresponding Atomese-2 code for them 2. Use ML to make a translator to Atomese-2, so that we then have Atomese-2 code for all 4000 of the programs in the corpus 3. We then have a corpus we can use for automatic learning of various sorts, e.g. learning mapping from NL descriptions of programs to Atomese-2 code For the automated learning in 3, part of the point is that because it's Atomese-2 we have a full model of the semantics that we can explicitly represent in the Atomspace graph, so we can take various expanded (via Atomspace transformations) representations of a program as input to ML algorithms You could replace "Atomese 2" in the above with basically any pure functional programming language whose semantics is fully modeled in the knowledge base of whatever proto-AGI system you're working with... -- ben -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org “He not busy being born is busy dying" -- Bob Dylan ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5b90d5893d1448e6-Mca630c68367d43f4f10e249c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
