>What if we decompose all semantics into unambiguous units? Then each vector has only 1 sense.
That is an interesting idea but is it practical? All the good AGI techniques work for some cases but don't work for other cases, and it seems that the situations that they don't work well in are so widely distributed that you can't really get any of the methods to gain enough traction to get going. (I am only guessing at this from reports of methods that other people have tried.) I don't know if Watson is evidence that this might be solved by computing power or not. I mentioned an idea I had a few weeks ago where an artificial language could be based on primitives (and combinations) which might be ambiguous but if artificial conversation was constrained in such a way so that the ambiguities would be reduced then the language could be feasible. An idea like that might make your goal more feasible, but it would be difficult to get something like that to work outside of a simple pilot program.
