Brad, I'm not aware of anyone else using or describing this approach (the story-based learning using FL). And when I discussed it with some AGI developers/specialists, it was typically kind of discouraging. They were like "Nah, theoretically ok, but practically dead end!". But, "AGI specialist", what do they know.. ;-)) I figured it's well worth a shot + it's fun to play with. Unfortunately I just kept very busy with non-AI priorities in last 2 years. No, I didn't write a white paper on the topic (yet). As a hardcore developer, I'm much better in writing code & cryptic notes on napkins than in writing official docs and white papers (though, once a while, I'm forced to do it all). Some brief/basic high-level info about that project (one of many I work on) is here: http://www.busycoder.com/index.php?link=28&lng=1 But again, I don't want to be too loud about it because of the limited progress so far. Anyway, with the formal language (/wizard-based communication format), I'm trying to provide a semantic baseline. Basically a set of the key semantic building blocks (with a built-in understanding) which could be used to generate rich stories for the AGI to understand and learn from. Our brains also have various semantics built-in. There are simply certain concepts for which the AGI's attempt to somehow learn it "on its owns" would [IMO] be a complete waste of resources + it would require senses similar to those we have.
