RE: [agi] An Artificial General Intelligence in the Making
Title: Message Mapping NL into logical format is very hard; the hard part is not choosing the textual representation of the logic, the hard part is have the computer program understand the natural language in the first place!!! Yeah, I do have some ideas on how this could be accomplished, but they involve building a whole AGI and then teaching it language ;-) In fact, I plan to use a variant of KNOW to help teach Novamente English... by saying the same things to it in KNOW and English in parallel, one can help it learn the semantic mappings of simple English sentences. ben The KNOW document Ben posted a link too says: "Syntax to semantics mapping in the natural language module, in which the final result should be represented in this language;" This kind of capabilities would certainly be a huge advance over something like ARFF. If anyone works with ARFF, could he or she comment on the possibilities of such translation with the ARFF grammar? Does anyone who's familiar with the technical workings of knowledge representation language have any idea on how this kind of mapping could be accomplished? -Daniel *Daniel ColonneseComputer Science Dept.

Re: [agi] An Artificial General Intelligence in the Making
Daniel, An ARFF file is just a collection of n-tuple data items where each tuple dimension has defined type information. It also has a dimension that is marked as being the class of the data item. So because it's basically just a big table of data you could in theory put any kind of information you like in there provided that you are a little creative in the encoding. However while you could do something like that with an ARFF file it probably doesn't make much sense. ARFF files carry with them the implicit assumption that the data items are more or less i.i.d. and that you suspect that there is some sort of explicit relationship between the dimensions; in particular you usually are interested in the abilty to predict the class dimension using the other dimensions. This is how Weka classifiers interpret the files. So in short: I'm sure you could jam KNOW data into an Arff file but I don't really see why doing so would make much sense. Cheers Shane Daniel Colonnese wrote: For those of us who are following the KNOW thread, could somebody comment on the capabilities of KNOW beyond existing knowledge representation language such as the ARFF format for the popular WEKA system. I've input data into such a system before and while existing systems have extensive grammar for representing logical relations they have very limited capabilities for more ambiguous knowledge.

RE: [agi] An Artificial General Intelligence in the Making
Hi, A much, muchnicer overview of the Novamente system will be online in about 2 weeks -- we're putting on the finishing touches! As for the KNOW system, an old KNOW document is online at www.goertzel.org/papers/KNOWSpecification.htm This is also in an appendix to my book "Creating Internet Intelligence" (Plenum, 2001). A newer, slightly differentversion exists but isn't being distributed yet (not cuz it's private, just cuz it's too rough...) -- Ben -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 4:21 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [agi] An Artificial General Intelligence in the MakingNearly finished reading "An Artificial General Intelligence in the Making" Ben Goertzel, et. al. (Lost the link, because I saved it to my local HD.)My general impression - a good document with lots of well thought out concepts. Wish that I'd run into it a year or so ago - it would have saved me more than a little research and mental gymnastics. There are a few concepts that I'll probably *eventually* borrow to add to my ongoing Rogue-AI project (if and when days ever become longer than just 24 hours, so that I have the time to do so.)Is there more information about KNOW available anywhere? You never can tell - there might come a day when your AI and my AI want to have a conversation. :)===bob briggs
