So do I interpret the answer right that OpenCOG in fact is a non-typical
Knowledge Base that in addition to the inference engines has some
MindAgents that are able to evolve/extend knowledge using more than just
inference(like clustering or importance spreading) ?
*Of course, if you stretch the definition far enough you can
convinceyourself a human baby is an "expert system"*
--
Does this mean that definition of "Expert system" is too broad to be useful
in differentiation between AI systems?
Thanks,
Andrei
