[agi] Intelligence by definition

2003-01-03 Thread Boris Kazachenko
Just got on the list, would like to introduce my approach to general AI: Intelligence is not an empirically specific ability, - we can learn anything. Therefore its method can only be derived from functional definition of intelligence, not for or from any specific property of inputs, Well,

Hi, You make a lot of different points... I'll just grab one for the moment *** I don't believe in combining different methods because cognition deals with the unknown, - we can't a priori split it into different areas, except to the extent that they're sensor/hardware specific,

Thanks for your comments! I like to distinguish between *functional specialization* and *integrated cognition* Novamente (my own AI system) has a mix of cognitive algorithms, which work together to provide overall cognitive functionality. The exact mixture of algorithms is determined by a

hi, *** It seems to me thatconceptual difference between vision language is inthe level of generalization, aside from different sensor/actuator orientation. Social Interaction? Once you start coding things that are learnable, where do you stop before ending up with just another expert

  Well, in Novamente we are not coding *specific knowledge* that is learnable... but we are coding implicit knowledge as to what sorts of learning processes are most useful in which specialized subdomains... I'm reminded of an AI pioneer who once commented on this same situation - he closed his
