Yes, for this NLP-related contract I mentioned, we are going for something cool in a limited domain, but built in a way allowing generalizability according to the NM architecture... My hope is that we won't get too bogged down in NLP particularities (as we've already got lots of code for handling this), and after 6 months or so we'll be able to spend most of our time on the project dealing with interesting PLN inference stuff. Also, the NLP code we make on this project will likely be integrable w/ our virtual-animal code, thus allowing us to create virtual embodied agents w/ linguistic ability as I've discussed before. -- Ben ----- 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=64428269-6457d0
