What kinds of data objects are analyzed and what does analysis imply? If the algorithms are not solutions to gaps or impediments then what purpose do they serve? Kindly explain. ~PM Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2013 11:33:10 -0500 Subject: Re: [agi] Could Algorithm Generators be a Feasible and Effective AGI Method? From: [email protected] To: [email protected]

An Algorithm Generator. Because I was able to use such colloquial terms it is something that almost everyone involved with programming should be able to understand. Any AGI program would have to be capable of doing some automated program learning. The question I was trying to explore was whether or not an explicit system of algorithm generators would be useful and how they might be used. One might argue that any AGI program that was able to learn would effectively be creating (or generating) algorithms. What I am talking about is the question of designing mechanisms that explicitly generate kinds of algorithms. The algorithms that I have in mind are not solution algorithms (per se) but analytical algorithms (including algorithms that analyze data objects by making modifications).
