No one in these groups has been interested in discussing conceptual structure with me. I think that is a bit odd. I suppose I should draw some conclusions from that, accept it and move on.
Structure is more than correlation. You might 'discover' structure using correlation but only if your program was able to create theories about structure and apply them via some mechanism other than correlation. One possibility is that structure is conceptually abstract so a handful of relations would be adequate to handle the representation of an immense variety of structural relations. But if that is true, then that should make conceptual structure easy to apply and to study. And that should mean that conceptual structure is something that should generate a lot of discussion in AI / AGI groups like this. The only conclusion I can come to is that most of the people in this group are not actually working on viable projects, so they are more preoccupied by more familiar mainstream discussions and discussions about outlier conjectures that could have a major impact on the feasibility of AGI if they were themselves feasible.
