Mark, I don't know of any network generator that is close to what I use. My neurons are my own creations. They are unlike anything I have seen out there. The...
Hi Louis, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I need a neural network generator for a problem solver I am working on. Could you recommend an Open Source neural...
In answer to recent comments: 1. In the matter of whether or not discrete machines can be used to solve the frame problem: In the final analysis, the truth...
Hi Group, I added a new page on software reliability to the site: Why Software Is Bad Believe it or not, the solution to the software reliability crisis is...
Dear all, In my opinion, the frame problem (discrete vs continuous) will be solved, to a human level at least, using a discrete machine, and arguements...
Charlie, ... There is real time and there is real time. The human brain does not work in real time either, if by real time you mean 'continuous time.' The...
Dear Juha, The quest for AI is >40 years old. In just the past thirty years, the breadth and speed of computers has been improved well over a million times. ...
Hi Charles and others, ... Yes. ... Yes, and do we have a reason to doubt we can run suitable cognitive model in real time with enough processors? ... Hmm,...
Greetings Mark, The bottom-up approach still requires a cognitive model in order to answer the questions (situations, problems), no matter how the events get...
... The "serial" processing done, perhaps in linear-sequential fashion? ... You will--(not the Universe, but of a dedicated cognitive model) in order to...
Mark, ... I agree that solving the intelligence problem requires both a top- down and a bottom-up approach. But you are mistaken that I use only a bottom-up...
Hi Group; My name is Mark Coffman. I have been studying AI as sort of a hobby for going on 35 years, while my work is Software Engineering. I will borrow...
... Well, *I* certainly can't. ;) And certainly it is not possible to program something which is a real dog. I don't think it is possible to program something...
... amount ... wired ... of ... work ... and ... driven ... CM: You may be able to "model" a dog's intelligence, although that's debatable, but I'll bet you...
... That's because humans have brain structures such as Broca's and Wernicke's which can learn to process language and other tasks which dogs can't do. This...
Juha wrote, ... Agreed that intelligence is a matter of degree, however, we can communicate with humans and set and agree to complex goals and work out...
... There is no fundamental difference between the intelligence of animals and humans. They both use discrete neurons. And your assumption that the brain uses...
Hi, ... Personally, I don't see great fundamental difference in how the intelligence works in dogs and in humans. They have different amount of neurons which...
... If we aim to re-create human intelligence in machines, we must eventually attend to questions that humans can answer with ease, but machines (computers),...
Charlie, ... I'll be frank with you. IMO, these questions are completely irrelevant to intelligence. The entire GOFAI crowd (McCarthy, Hayes , McDermott,...
Louis, I set aside the questions of physics, as you suggest, and turn to those germane to AI and control systems by way of Temporal Intelligence, the subject...
Hi Charlie, ... This is like asking, how can absolute motion be relative? I don't think this is the proper forum for this discussion. I just created a new...
... How can you have absolute motion or position [The Nasty Little Truth] without space within which the motion takes place or position occurs (with respect to...
Charlie, ... I like to say that there is neither space nor time. In nature, there exist only particles, their properties and their interactions. Everything...
Dear Danny, I believe that awareness of sequences and time are fundamental to living consciousness and intelligence. These awarenesses will be necessary in...
... I agree with your view of time being derived from change, although I refuse to adopt any dogma without thinking. These are my thoughts: There is no space...
Charlie (et al), I began my interest in AI through an engineering base, combined with an interest in human behaviour. I have only pursued the field for the...
Greetings to you all. By way of introduction, I'll provide a small bio: I am a Senior Engineer working for a group of R&D Scientists who use NMR (nuclear...
