Re: [agi] Glocal knowledge representation?

2007-03-26 Thread YKY (Yan King Yin)

I've never heard of it used for knowledge representation.  Can you explain
what's the deal?

IMO we should first delineate the AGI problem in a conventional framework
and then try to find out where is the computational bottleneck.  And then
focus our innovation on that particular area, rather than innovating
aimlessly.

While not recognized as a formal term of knowledge representation,
glocal has strong connotations of think globally, act locally which
is a fairly deep principle of effective interaction for any agent with
its environment.

Yes, Google reveals that the term glocal has been used a few times
in the context of social activism.

I am writing a conference paper on knowledge representation and am
thinking of introducing it as a buzzword for the type of mixed global/local
knowledge rep used in Novamente, which I also hypothesize is used
in the brain...

thx

While popularized by social activists, particularly with regard to
ecological concerns, the fairly deep principle I had in mind goes
somewhat deeper than that.

Any agent must necessary model its environment in terms more global
than the scope of its actions because its model must include some
representation of the anticipated consequences of its actions.  What
makes this interesting (to me) is that the ratio of the complexity of
global consideration to local action is proportionate to the wisdom
(intelligence over increasing scope) of the act. With this model of
increasing intelligence corresponding to promoting one's values while
minimizing unintended consequences, one finds a sharp contradiction
with the popular Kardashev model of growth.

FWIW,
