Well, firstly, note that this is not what I'm doing ... in OpenCog and NM we're working with English... However, it's possible that working with Lojban could help cut through the following "chicken and egg" problem: -- if your AI understands the world, then it can disambiguate language -- if your AI can disambiguate language, then it can learn enough from language to understand the world Potentially using Lojban you could teach the AI enough about the world, that it could then use this understanding to guide its disambiguation of natural language This is not the approach I'm currently taking, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me. -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
