Well, I'd like to point out that algo's like the page-rank algo are not unlike spreading activation, and that its danged-near to being a Markov chain too. Actually, upon skimming the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreading_activation it seems to be *identical* to a Markov chain, so I'm a bit confused by that article. -- or I skimmed too fast, Dunno. --linas ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
