They need certainty or confidence values, and a list of possibilities, not just a single outcome. Then reasoning can choose which interpretation(s) make the most sense in context. But for their purposes -- automated video logging & alerts -- this works fine. Once the work is done, attaching confidence vaues and multiple possibilities should be relatively minor.

The approach you are describing is both a revolutionary advancement, along the lines of what I've been trying to advocate for the last 6-8 months... (which is usually the case)... But, at the same time, tying it to classic approaches is a crippling limitation because it robs the system of the types of introspection that are the hallmark of human cognition. Intelligence is kinda a 'turtles all the way down' kinda thing... The cortex is an organized network of basically one type of algorithm applied to itself again and again... So yeah, you would need to generalize your simulation layer so that it can work in abstract domains in addition to domains for which graphics programming techniques are already reasonably well developed. -- E T F N H E D E D Powers are not rights. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/23050605-bcb45fb4 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/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
