Thanks Ben,
My background in CS is modest as are my programming skills. I have a BA in
computer science. I have worked various IT jobs over the years -- none of which
involved serious programming. Sorry if I gave the impression that I would code
(although down the road I think I would like to). I was just hoping to put my
head together with a buddy and see if we could generate some ideas -- at a
theoretical level.
I hope its not too naive to hope that i can make some progress in this area. I
just feel that anything that goes on in our brains can be translated into code.
But if I am wrong then at least laying out such a daunting problem in clear
terms and posting it would help invite others to tackle it.
It's not naive, quite the contrary, it means your mind is at the right
place.
I see that the wiki page is lacking in content or links regarding that
matter http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Inference_Control. We need to remedy that.
Here's a synthetic answer till Ben writes a more elaborate one.
In one word: learning.
In one sentence: Mine the history of inferences and ask the system to
come up with inference control patterns that may speed up future inferences.
Of course the problem of learning inference control patterns is
open-ended, ultimately you need an AGI to address that. But wait, we
have one! That's what we're building!
