Valentina,
Having written http://www.DrEliza.com, several NN programs, and LOT of
financial applications, and holding a CDP - widely recognized in financial
programming circles, here are my comments.
The real world is a little different than the theoretical world of CS, in
that people want result
Ben,
It would seem to me that a lot of the ideas in OpenCogPrime could be
implemented in neuromorphic hardware, particularly if you were to intermix
it with some traditional computing hardware. This is particularly true if
such a system could efficiently use neural assemblies, because that wou

I know Dharmendra Mohdha a bit, and I've corresponded with Eugene Izhikevich
who is Edelman's collaborator on large-scale brain simulations. I've read
Tononi's stuff too. I think these are all smart people with deep
understandings, and all in all this will be research money well spent.
However,

If by "software engineering" you mean techniques for writing so
At the current time, almost all AGI projects are still working on
conceptual design issues, and the systems developed are just
prototypes, so software engineering is not that much relevant. In the
future, when most of the theoretical problems have been solved,
especially when it becomes clear that
