Hi Linas, I think the following is the focus that makes most sense for you during the next couple months (and perhaps beyond that, as you say it's a large problem...)

However, it also seems to be much more > important in the medium/long run.

Optimizing SuReal is something Senna or someone else could do; whereas the above requires a more holistic understanding and thus better leverages your deeper understanding of the whole OpenCog framework/approach ... If we do get more OpenCog-AGI-focused $$, that would enable me to fund you to focus mainly or wholly on unsupervised language learning.... But even if this does happen over the summer, it will be best if you can get the self-awareness code working together gracefully and extensibly with OpenPsi and the new chatbot, before shifting focus away from the Hanson stuff ... BTW Man Hin is in the midst of "integrating" the chatbot-eva stuff with the Openpsi based chatbot in a very crude way for short term purposes only --- basically he is treating it as a separate "engine", accessed by a single Psi rule, and used for processing certain imperatives.... But this is obviously a crude hack for short-term demo purposes only ... not a real integration ... he and I decided it's best to leave the real integration to you.. ben -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org Super-benevolent super-intelligence is the thought the Global Brain is currently struggling to form... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
