Fully decoding the human genome is almost impossible. Not only is there the
problem of protein folding, which I think even supercomputers can't fully
solve, but the purpose for the structure of each protein depends on
interaction with the incredibly complex molecular structures inside cells.

James,Many of the solutions you describe can use information gathered from statistical models, which are opaque. I need to elaborate on this, because I think opaque models will be fundamental to solving AGI. We need to build models in a way that doesn't require access to the internals. This requ

I think that natural language and the human genome have about the same order of
magnitude complexity.
The genome is 6 x 10^9 bits (2 bits per base pair) uncompressed, but there is a
lot of noncoding DNA and some redundancy. By "decoding", I assume you mean

Back in 1987, during my M.Sc., I invented the term 'dynamic relaxation'
to describe a quasi-neural system whose dynamics were governed by
multiple relaxation targets that are changing all the time. So the idea
of having a multi-lobe attractor, or structured, time-varying
attractors, is not by

So, how to get all this probabilistic commonsense knowledge (which in
humans is mostly unconscious) into the AGI system?

b-- exhaustive education through NLP dialogue in very simple English
c-- exhaustive education through dialogue in some artificial language

My plan has both A with B and D examplesand Ben: So, I feel much of the present discussion on NLP interpretation isbypassing the hard problem, which is enabling an AGI system to learnthe millions or billions of commonsense (probabilistic) rules relatingto basic relationships like with_tool, which h

Matt: To parse English you have to know that pizzas have pepperoni, that demonstrators advocate violence, that cats chase mice, and so on. There is no neat, tidy algorithm that will generate all of this knowledge. You can't do any better than to just write down all of these facts. The data is no
Yes. All of the above.We have already heard the statement from all around I believe, and seen the results that show that one single algorithm is just not goign to work, and its unreasonable to think it would. So then its really down to breaking up the parts, defining them precisely, and determining
