Well, we have put a lot of thought into analogical reasoning and believe that NM has the right mechanisms for robust analogy-drawing (via its probabilistic inference engine)
However, effective analogy really depends on having a huge experience base (appropriately organized). We have not yet run a NM system in a way that allows it to build up a huge experience base... so we haven't really tested its analogical reasoning ability in a "psychologically realistic" way, we've just done a bunch of test examples... -- Ben On 5/12/07, Bob Mottram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In a recent interview (http://discovermagazine.com/2007/jan/interview-minsky/) Marvin Minsky says that one of the key things which an intelligent system ought to be able to do is reason by analogy. "His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free." Which made me wonder, can Novamente, NARS or any other prospective AGI system do this kind of reasoning? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&;
