I'd finance you all I could if you give me a good theory.
I strongly believe there cannot be any good single theory of AI systems.
What should be developed is a set of AI software systems, and several of
them.
Probably, in Europe, what is needed are several HorizonEurope
submissions related to AI software development.
You (or our students, friends, or colleagues) could be interested by the
/RefPerSys/ -a reflexive& persistent system- open source symbolic
artificial intelligence system (GPLv3+ licensed, for Linux) - *work in
progress*
See http://refpersys.org/ <http://refpersys.org/> for details. (It is in
july 2021 a hobby/unfunded project)
It is related to the work of the late Jacques Pitrat (1934 - oct. 2019)
who was the director of my PhD jury, defended in Paris in 1990.
You probably would enjoy reading both Pitrat's blog, still on
http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3
<http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3>/ and his last
book:
Artificial Beings: the Conscience of a Conscious Machine
ISBN-13: 978-1848211018
(that book also contains something relevant to machine learning with
metarules)
My professional work at CEA LIST <http://www-list.cea.fr/> in France is
on cybersecurity on /Bismon/, a static source code analyzer above GCC
for C and C++ code : code is on https://github.com/bstarynk/bismon
<https://github.com/bstarynk/bismon> and funding happens thru the
DECODER <https://www.decoder-project.eu/> and CHARIOT
<https://www.chariotproject.eu/> projects. They could end quickly.
/RefPerSys/ is currently (july 2021) a pet or hobby project (coded with
others in C++), but I am trying to find some contributors (some of them
are in India), maybe funds and applications for it (and dream of being
able to work on, it part time in a few months). It is (as a Linux
application) orthogonally persistent and generates C++ code. The insight
is to generate a lot more and more C++ code from a more declarative
description, as advocated by the late Jacques Pitrat.
Perhaps you could be interested in contributing to RefPerSys?
Perhaps you have students or colleagues interested in actively
contributing to RefPerSys?
Perhaps RefPerSys could be useful to some students or become a starting
point for some *fut**_ure_* HorizonEurope
<https://ec.europa.eu/info/horizon-europe_en> submission, or ITEA
<https://itea4.org/> proposal....?
Please forward this email to interested persons.
If you (or your students) have programming skills (on Linux), consider
downloading, contributing to, improving RefPerSys
(The current work on RefPerSys is to add -painfully- a web interface to
it, and before that a Qt interface; the major theme is metaprogramming
with metarules, but so far we have too few generated C++ code and we are
actively working on increasing it; and the current state of RefPerSys is
shamefully unpleasant - only a few objects, and a non-working user
interface)
I am sure that /RefPerSys/ could interest some partners in the European
Union and even outside of it. And without funding, I am not authorized
to work on it from office at CEA LIST <https://www-list.cea.fr/>. Of
course, I spend a lot of time (at home) working on RefPerSys since
several years.
I also believe that RefPerSys could interest some of your students
familiar with Linux, or some SME in Europe needing symbolic artificial
intelligence tools. After all, there are about 68KLOC of C++ code, and
that is better than nothing.
If you are able to understand a French talk I have given, see the talks
on https://afia.asso.fr/journee-hommage-j-pitrat/
<https://afia.asso.fr/journee-hommage-j-pitrat/>
My constraints are: RefPerSys <http://refpersys.org/> is for Linux
/only/, and I am only capable of producing PDF documents with LaTeX
<https://www.latex-project.org//> (but not with Microsoft software) I
never used in my life any Microsoft Windows operating system (only
Linux), and at the age of 62 I don't have the time -or the motivation-
to learn how to use a Microsoft Windows operating system. But I am using
Linux both at home and at work since 1993.
