Re: [agi] Relevance of SE in AGI

2008-12-21 Thread Pei Wang
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

2008/12/21 Valentina Poletti jamwa...@gmail.com: I have a question for you AGIers.. from your experience as well as from your background, how relevant do you think software engineering is in developing AI software and, in particular AGI software? If by software engineering you mean techniques

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,

2008/12/21 Ben Goertzel b...@goertzel.org: However, IMO the rhetoric associating it with thinking machine building is premature and borderline dishonest. It's marketing rhetoric. It's more like interesting brain simulation research that could eventually play a role in some future

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

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
