Ben, while we're on the topic, could you elaborate a bit on what kind of prerequisite knowledge the books you've written/edited require? For instance, I've been putting off reading Artificial General Intelligence on the assumption that for the full benefit, it requires a good understanding of narrow-AI/basic compsci concepts that I haven't necessarily yet acquired (currently working my way through Russel & Norvig in order to fix that). The Hidden Pattern sounds like it would be heavier on the general cogsci/philosophy of mind requirements, and the Probabilistic Logic Networks one probably needs a heavy dose of maths (what kind of maths)? What about the OpenCog/Novamente documentation you've mentioned maybe releasing this year? (Agiri.org seems to be down, by the way, so I can't access the "textbook page".) -- http://www.saunalahti.fi/~tspro1/ | http://xuenay.livejournal.com/ Organizations worth your time: http://www.singinst.org/ | http://www.crnano.org/ | http://lifeboat.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=98558129-0bdb63 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
