Hi YKY, Can you explain what is meant by "collect commonsense knowledge"?
Playing the friendly devil's advocate, I'd like to point out that Cyc seems to have been spinning its wheels for 20 years, building a nice big database of 'commonsense knowledge' but accomplishing no great leaps in AI. Cyc's conundrum is discussed perennialy on various lists with many possible explanations posited for Cyc's lackluster performance: Perhaps its krep is too brittle and too reduced? Perhaps its ungroundedness is its undoing? Perhaps there's no coherent cognitive architecture on which to build an effective learning & reasoning system? Before people volunteer to work on building yet another commonsense knowledge system, perhaps they'll want to know how you plan to avoid the Cyc problem? Even a brief eplanation would be helpful, e.g. the OpenCog Prime design plans to address the Cyc problem by learning and reasoning over commonsense knowledge that is gained almost entirely by experience (interacting with rich environments and human teachers in virtual worlds) rather than by attempting to reason over absurdely reduced and brittle bits of hand-encoded knowledge. OPC does not represent commonsense knowledge internally (natively) with a distinct crisp logical form (the actual form is a topic of the OCP tutorial sessions), although it can be directed to transform its internal commonsense knowledge representations into such a form over time and with much effort. It's my hunch however that such transformations are of little practical value; inspecting a compact and formal krep output might help researchers evaluate what an OCP system has learned, but 'AGI intelligence tests' also work to this end and arguably have significant advantages over the non-interactive and detatched examination of krep dumps.
