AIXI says that a perfect solution is not computable. However, a very general principle of both scientific research and machine learning is to favor simple hypotheses over complex ones. AIXI justifies these practices in a formal way. It also says we can stop looking for a universal solution, which I think is important. It justifies our current ad-hoc approach to problem solving -- we have no choice. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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
