RETARDS!

EVERY spam is deleted in a matter of hours and the whole block of IP addresses is banned.
In the end I guess the whole of China will get banned but who cares...

The trouble is that we have difficulty understanding the "meaning" of such concepts and how they relate to the solutions and algorithms sought for.
Progress will come from having smarter feature extraction algorithms which will generate concepts /components more specifically tailored to the questions we are asking and toward "intelligible" relations between the created concepts, not just salient "bumps" in the statistical distributions.

In any case only part of the ontology will be derived automatically because having a question, problem or goal entails that there is already an existing ontology upon which the question statement is expressed.

The idea of iterating the meta-levels until something "stabilizes" is absolutely brilliant but he seem to have been lost in his own inspiration.
I downloaded his latest program Malice CAIA's solver with which I did run the preset demos on an AMD64 but beside the demos its an humongous useless piece of junk.
I emailed Pitrat for more infos and he responded but did not seem to want to share more, only to brag about his results:

Je ne sais si vous avez vous-même essayé de résoudre ces problèmes ou
d'écrire des programmes pour les résoudre. Si oui, cela m'intéresserait
de savoir si en tant que humain vous arrivez à des solutions meilleures
que celles trouvées par CAIA; le logiciel en donne la structure
générale, c'est à dire l'arborescence qu'il développe. De même avez-vous
écrit des programmes plus performants que ceux écrits par CAIA ? Cela
m'intéresserait aussi de le savoir.
Avoir mis en ligne ce logiciel permet donc de juger la qualité des
résultats de l'approche que j'ai entreprise et la valeur de CAIA en tant
que chercheur en IA. La plupart des problèmes que je donne sont
difficiles pour un humain,
etc.. etc...


Is he old fashioned and secretive or confused and lost in his own mess, difficult to say...

As for relevant papers I don't have much more to suggest, I recently bought Meaning and Grammar but haven't really dug into it.
Some works by Reinhard Diestel on infinite graphs seem to me to possibly bring some insights into knowledge representation problems, because in the end I think the "key" to understanding what AI really is to be IS a matter of representation, somewhere at the boundary between the formal and the informal (maths/logic versus language).
An interesting note by Dick Lipton highlights the deficiencies of current math formalisms and by the same token the power of "informal" natural language: in spite of the informality they are able to meaningfully discuss the question in the blog post.
Actually I haven't done much about AI recently, having been bothered by other personal questions and willing to take a break by doing some more immediately rewarding hacking.

The summary you provided strikes me as particularly insightful, so I must ask if you could suggest some relevant papers or areas of study (besides the ones mentioned in your blog post, of course).]]> nh Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:52:54 +0100 http://www.kevembuangga.com/blog/comment.php?comment.news.10
