Is this referring to Ben's "lojban++" or "loglish"? I wasn't sure if there was a difference.

--- Begin Message ---Hi all, I have spent some time recently mulling over the details of a partially-new language for communicating between humans and AI's. The language is (tentatively) called Lojban++ and is described here:http://www.goertzel.org/papers/lojbanplusplus.pdf Of course, I don't think that a language like this solves the fundamental problems of AGI design/dynamics/teaching. By no means. However, I think it can be a valuable tool, in terms of making the teaching process easier and smoother. Humans come with a lot of inbuilt inductive bias that helps us learn natural languages. AGI's don't have this particular inductive bias, unless one explicitly builds it in, which is very hard. Thus it makes sense, for AGI teaching purposes, to use a language that can be mastered without any particular inductive bias, because it's closer to the "thought" level without so much arbitrariness. Lojban++, a pidgin combining some English vocabulary with the already existing logic-based language Lojban, seems to me to fit the bill... Building a Lojban++ parser and semantic-mapper will require a fair bit of work, and if anyone on this list is interested in taking on this project (on an open-source basis, most likely) I'd be eager to talk about it... -- Ben G -------To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]-- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
