Steve:You can read the same passage and completely understand what it says. However, when YOU (and not some imperfect computer program that you might design and write) sit down and carefully identify parts of speech, construct the potential diagrams for the sentence, go through domain-specific disambiguation, etc., with full opportunity to go back and correct any mistakes that you might have made; that as often as not, sentences in that passage do NOT communicate what you got from them when you first heard or read them. If YOU can't do this job, (I sure know that I can't because I have tried), then how the heck are you going to design a computer program to do this job?
Sounds like you're still groping here for your idea - although carry on - going about it in a literally vs qualitatively backward way - from the end of problem-solving rather than the beginning.. The important point, IMO, is that living AGI's *start* as "learner-learner-livers" [sic] , having independently to learn both how, what, and from whom, to learn. It might be useful to apply the principles of "problem-based learning" in education to AGI's. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
