My old papers are there, e.g.: http://www.worldcomp-proceedings.com/proc/p2011/CDE2890.pdf which presents the only candidate I know of for a prospective platform on which to implement AGI. However, they DO have agreements with various publishers to allow slightly modified versions to be published behind paywalls, provided the title, abstract, and first page are significantly changed. When I first heard about this I thought it was some sort of plot to violate copyrights and went to the Chairman of WORLDCOMP, but everyone knew what everyone else was doing and he was OK with it. Anyway, this 2nd step is entirely optional and is NOT part of the conferences. My point is that I can barely afford to go to one conference a year, so I go to the one that has rolled 20 conferences all rolled together. Apparently many other AGIers are in the same situation, so joining with WORLDCOMP would GREATLY improve everyone's exposure to both AGI and non-AGI technologies. One continuing delight at the AI conferences are the Russians working on the Russian Translator, to provide good bidirectional translations to English and other languages. They have been digging deeply into many approaches.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- 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
