Just from what you say, it seems to me that DeSTIN is also being engineered and also narrow AI. You will have success doing that, because of the massive scale, but it is still not AGI. If an AGI is a machine with a human level of intelligence, then it should be able to do what engineers do and render narrow AI unnecessary.

That's a bogus dichotomy. Obviously our goal is to engineer something that can effectively and efficiently re-engineer itself, using its own inference. Second comment. Well, maybe I misread something you posted. I remember you were doing something with centers of gravity for Destin. Would you care to explain what it was? And what is Destin? DeSTIN is a deep learning architecture for perceptual data processing, which was developed by Itamar Arel at the University of Tennessee, and is going to be integrated into OpenCog to serve as its "perceptual cortex" .... It has nothing to do with centers of gravity, although it does use clustering as one sub-algorithm, and these clusters have centroids -- perhaps that is what you are thinking of. ben AGI | <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now> Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/18883996-f0d58d57> | <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; ad2> Modify Your Subscription <http://www.listbox.com> ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
