No, you don't remember right ;-) I'm currently a student studying machine learning and language acquisition (by machines). > And how do you feel about the way most AGI-ers ignore robotics? :) I don't know if most AGI-ers ignore robotics, but I understand that research with robotics would be more costly (w.r.t. both hardware and software) than 'non-embodied' studies. Recently I wrote a memo on my view about AGI: http://rondelionai.blogspot.jp/2012/12/status-quo-of-artificial-general.html (You can skip the first part about things everyone knows. And the map there is under construction.) I didn't make much reference to robotics there, perhaps because I think current robotics is on the right track… -- Naoya Arakawa P.S. Robot novels I read "The Stories of Ibis" a few years ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stories_of_Ibis (depicting some singularity aspect towards the ending) and recently re-read Deadly Image (aka The Uncertain Midnight) by Edmund Cooper (1958) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Uncertain-Midnight-ebook/dp/B005HRT9VC/ .. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
