Hi, I have placed online a version of the powerpoint on Novamente that I presented at the Accelerating Change 2005 conference last month.
The powerpoint is here: http://www.goertzel.org/new_research/NM_agisim_sep25_05.ppt And an HTML-ized version is here: http://www.goertzel.org/new_research/NM_agisim_sep25_05.htm (The HTML-ized version was dumped from PPT and probably uses ActiveX controls, so it may be that both versions are only viewable on M$ OS's, sorry. Novamente is a Linux beast but for presentations and the like I tend to use Windows.) The presentation doesn't give very much depth (I'm sure it was much better with my voice commentary, which rambled on a lot including more technical and conceptual material, and only loosely followed the powerpoint anyway ;), but gives a high-level overview of the project with a focus on our goals for the next few months regarding integrating Novamente with the AGI-SIM simulation world. A great deal is left out, some of which is found in the long overview paper www.goertzel.org/new_research/NM_human_psych.pdf But the presentation shows some pretty pictures of what the initial version of our AGI-SIM embodiment for Novamente will look like in a couple months. The current AGISIM world is a bit more primitive looking even than the screenshots shown in the presentation, but if all goes well it will look like that by year's end. We have been focusing on AI rather than graphics.... currently our main focus is on "putting the pieces of Novamente together": integrating the Novamente core with the latest versions of our probabilistic reasoning and evolutionary predicate/procedure learning modules, and dealing with adding mechanisms for efficient indexing and searching of spatial and temporal information coming out of the sim world. -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
