Regarding the conceptual and theoretical background of the OpenCog approach, please see the two volumes "Engineering General Intelligence" published by Atlantis Press (distributed by Springer) a few months ago. There is…
FYI, in OpenCog, MindAgents can be written in python or C++. Lots of OpenCog coding is done in Scheme these days as well.
Hi Jarrad -- FYI Linas Vepstas fixed the threading issues with the AtomSpace some time ago (over a year ago I think)....
This is Ben Goertzel... AGI is mainstream science, these days. The keynote of the 2012 AAAI conference (the major mainstream AI research conference each year), by the President of AAAI, was largely about how the time…
This is Ben Goertzel, chief founder of the AGI conference series. You are correct that the AGI conferences have a higher ratio of "speculative ideas"/"technical results" to ICML. This is intentional and I belief…
Hi, this is Ben Goertzel, the chief founder of the OpenCog AGI-focused software project and of the AGI conference series. Comparing Google Search and IBM Watson to OpenCog and other early-stage research efforts is…
On the contrary, there IS a detailed, well-thought-out defense of the OpenCog design, but it's sufficiently complicated that the casual observer may not be able to appreciate it. Wait for the book "Building Better…
A bunch of classifiers is not an artificial general intelligence. A human-level mind (or beyond) requires a systematic cognitive architecture, it's not going to emerge out of a heterogenous, quasi-random soup of…
