Thats a new one, havnt really heard that. I think about along those lines,but a little more reasoning about it, I would like the AI to read the story and understand it and answer comprehension style questions.
But to do your "text to animated story" it would be more concerned with having a set of simple graphical constructs and a physics package. I think once you get to full physics, your really into another domain though. But Step One - Translate english story to -> knowledge representation Step Two - Animate Story. Step two is the easier for a computer to do, given the tools. Given a "CreateModel(Person)" Walk(person,location) and such basic functions, you could make that work. Step one, we can only do partly, do to many problems in reading text. I would like some other way, some in between where we could get the story, but without having to have a Cyc engineer or any other specialist, explain the story, in a way so that the computer understands it. I think this is possible using simpler english and maybe some variations on the grammar.

I'm not entirely optimistic about getting everyone on this list to agree on such, but if I were to boil it down, I think the goal to aim for is text to video. That is, given a simple piece of English text like "the cat sat on the mat" or (to take a recently cited example) the text of Little Red Riding Hood (can be hand-translated into something like CycL if you like, though I think parsing English is one of the easier parts of the job), produce a video of the event - not just stringing together a few stylized snippets of animation, but with actual 3D physics simulation, the way the brain does it. _______________________________________ James Ratcliff - http://falazar.com Looking for something... --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
