As I have very clearly articulated in the past many times: yes, that is the intention > Why is this any different from, or superior to, NLP? The specific subproject under discussion **is** NLP; but it's NLP done in the context of an integrative AI system (OpenCog), that also involves many things that are not NLP. At the moment OpenCog is being used to control a video game agent in a game world, but we are planning a collaboration w/ David Hanson to use it to control his Robokind robots. So, the NLP subsystem in question would be used as one ingredient in an overall system aimed at controlling autonomous agents. However, due to the wonders of modular software design, this same NLP subsystem could be used in narrow AI applications, or in other AGI designs quite different from my own (e.g. it could be used in purely NLP-focused AGI designs with no embodiment component). I understand fully that you find this sort of integrative approach unpromising, and so this reply is mainly directed to any newbies on the list who might otherwise get confused by your reply... -- Ben G > -----Original Message----- From: Ben Goertzel > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 1:15 AM > To: AGI > > Subject: Re: [agi] Finding the "Right" Computational Model to Support > Occam's Razor > >> Our internal semantic representation has nothing in common with the link >> parser representation either: >> >> http://wiki.opencog.org/w/OpenCogAtomTypes >> >> Pretty much, I suppose if you don't like this sort of representation, then >> you won't want to do your project in OpenCog... > > > And see here > > http://wiki.opencog.org/w/WordNode > > for the way linguistic content is currently represented, though many of > these > details will be changed/augmented as a result of Ruiting's work in the next > months... > > -- Ben > > > ------------------------------------------- > AGI > Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now > RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/6952829-59a2eca5 > > Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; > Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com > > > ------------------------------------------- > AGI > Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now > RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/212726-11ac2389 > Modify Your Subscription: > https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; > Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org "My humanity is a constant self-overcoming" -- Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------- 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
