No offense, but I suspect you need to read more of the literature. I still am rather clueless about the field, and I can name a few such projects. In Hofstadter's lab both the Metacat and Letter Spirit projects are each the product of roughly a man-decade of effort, one man (or woman) at a time. The Tabletop project might count as more effort in the same design, not to mention Copycat's precursors. It's likely that someone will be working on extending Metacat soon. Elsewhere, there's the ACT-R project at CMU, formerly ACT-*, about which I know very little, but it seems to have been around for a while. At Indiana University David Leake's case-based reasoning project seems to have multiple grad students, probably pushing it over 5 man years quickly, although if by "serious AI" you meant "general AI now" it might not qualify. -xx- Damien X-) ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
