Correct, but I don't believe that systems (like Cyc) are doing this type of Active learning now, and it would help to gather quality information and fact-check it.
Cyc does have some interesting projects where it takes a proposed statment and when a engineer is working with it, will go out and do a text match search in Google to check the validity of a statement, so would do soemthing like google search "the moon is a dog" returning 1/4bill so very unlikely. This goes one step towards my thoughts, but of course the Internet as a whole is not a trusted source for quality information, and would need to use a more refined base. Also OpenMind Common Sense (site down) is a very interesting project which does some information gathering using humans who log into the system and check and input information. It produced some intersting results, though on a limited basis.

I would hope that a candidate AGI would have the capability of emailing anyone who has ever talked with it. ex: After a few minutes' chat, the AI asks the human for their email in case there it has any follow up questions - the same way any human interviewer might. If 10 humans are asked the same question, the statistically oddball response can probably be ignored (or reduced in weight) to clarify the answer. ----- 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/?&; _______________________________________ James Ratcliff - http://falazar.com Looking for something... --------------------------------- Be a PS3 game guru.
