A more interesting question to think about, rather than how to represent a story in a formal language, is: How would you convince yourself that your AGI actually understood a story? What kind of question-answers or behaviors would convince you of this? The "textual entailment challenge" is of some relevance here, perhaps.
Yep. The very strength of words - their incredible economy of bandwidth, bought by assuming a lot of complexity on both ends - makes them a very bad tool for this sort of thing. To test whether a program understands a story, start by having it generate an animated movie of the story. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
