It's a rare occurence, but I have just read an AI research paper which is of nontrivial interest...
A model of syntactic parsing model based almost entirely on the mechanisms in the physical reasoning model, making the case for the cognitive substrate principle. N. L. Cassimatis (2004). Grammatical Processing Using the Mechanisms of Physical Inferences. In Proceedings of the Twentieth-Sixth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society. (pdf) available at http://www.cassimatis.com/polyscheme.html The author, who is specifically oriented toward creating human-level intelligence, has -- articulated an explanation of infant-level physical learning in terms of his logic-based AI framework, PolyScheme (in which multiple reasoning algorithms interact using a common predicate-logic language) -- then shown how the same mechanisms and representations used for infant physical learning can be used for language learning I first became aware of Nick's PolyScheme approach to AGI when we both presented at the AAAI workshop on Achieving Human-Level Intelligence Through Integrated Systems and Research. I think it is a sensible approach at heard, though as currently articulated it seems a long way from constituting a fully-developed architecture for AGI. -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
