I don't understand why you haven't created an AGI yet, if it's so simple. Oh wait, it's not. Are you familiar with Legg's proof that there is no such thing as a simple, general purpose learning algorithm? Powerful learners are necessarily complex. http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0606070 In case you don't want to read the paper, here is a simple proof. Suppose you have a small program with Kolmogorov complexity n that learns to predict bits in arbitrary sequences. Then I can create a sequence with Kolmogorov complexity slightly greater than n that your program can't predict. My program simulates your program and outputs the opposite of whatever your program predicts. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
