Alan, thanks for the support!!! Your kind words really encourage me on
my work =) From now I'll say "pattern discovery"

James: I've just placed an order for that book at amazon =) I'll se what
I can get from it (I hope a lot, because the book is quite expensive!!)

Gary: your book looks interesting too, but I feel the "Solomonoff" thing
seems more generic. I'll try your book after that one.

If Solomonoff is powerful enough, I hope it "realizes" by itself that
data is grouped in "words" when it happens so - haha. I'm not working
with human language, but who knows, maybe I'll get in a similar way -
I'll tell you if that happens =)

Cliff: what you told us about the languages was quite interesting.
Unfortunately for me, Trigrams is a given pattern; and what I want is
the machine to discover patterns by itself. Anyway it's a good approach.
It's always good to have handy simple tools when everything gets
fuzzy...

Thank you all again

Kind Regards
Pablo Carbonell

Asunto: Re: [agi] general patterns induction

Congrats!

You have just earned a spot in my list of the world's top-ten AI
researchers. 

Compared to the NLPers, you are the one who is _REALLY_ working on AI. I
don't know what the NLPer's are smoking but you are on the right track.

I generally frown on the term "pattern recognition" but, perhaps,
pattern discovery would work...

I wrote an article on my thinking on this reciently that I would have to
dig out of the archives of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send you. 

Please consider me at your disposal for any additional help on the
subject. 

There are no books on the subject, you are writing your own... Welcome
to the cutting edge! =)
