Problems that would likely go beyond the capability of a current PC to solve in a realistic amount of time, in the current NM architecture, would include for instance: -- Learning a new type of linguistic relationship (in the context of link grammar, this would mean e.g. learning a new grammatical link type) -- Learning a new truth value formula for a probabilistic inference rule -- Recognizing objects in a complex, rapidly-changing visual scene (Not that we have written the code to let the system solve these particular problems yet ... but the architecture should allow it...) I don't think we need more than hundreds of PCs to deal with these things, but we need more than a current PC, according to the behavior of our current algorithms. -- Ben G ----- 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/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=73544012-c56a06
