We have not yet tried to build a system like the one you describe, because we've considered it to probably not be on the short path to AGI However, we will likely be building something like this during the next 6 months, due to a customer requesting us to. We'll see how it goes ;-) -- Ben G > > After a few weekends of hacking, and about 3KLoc of code, I can get > the following squeezed out of the opencyc kb: > > cyc-net> who is lincoln > Abe Lincoln is a famous person.

At the pre-teen level? Your question isn't very well-defined. We have no programs that can pass the "5 year old child Turing Test", at least recent experiments in China suggest this.... I bet your program couldn't pass it either.... Question-answering based on an NLP database is not the same as conversation, though... Making a program that can dig info out of a DB in the manner of a 6 year old is one thing, making a program that can converse in the manner of a 6 year old is another thing entirely... >From a commercial perspective, an NLP query engine may be valuable, though, even if it's not done in a way that is readily generalizable into an AGI. -- Ben G ----- 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/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=60661338-2d76a8
