 I noticed that too. Seemed like this list doesn't archive attachments
 (or has particularly good SPAM filter :-). I don't have the paper posted
 on any site. Will send you a PDF (748 KB). If others want a copy, let me
 know via email.
 
 Thanks!

RE: [agi] Psychometric AI

Hi,

I don't think that trying to overfit one's AGI system to some specific set
of tests is a really useful approach.

Also, I don't think that intelligence tests, as currently formulated for
psychometric testing purposes, form a very natural set of developmental
milestones for an AGI system.

I think it would be possible to create a narrow AI system that passed a lot
of IQ tests but still lacked general intelligence -- just as one can create
narrow AI systems to play chess, checkers, and so forth.

Psychometric tests are only moderately meaningful in the human-intelligence
context for which they were devised; applying them beyond the human domain
weakens their meaning even further...

I don't think it's a boundlessly dumb approach or anything; but it's not an
approach I would particularly recommend...

Hi Ben,

You think it's a silly approach because...?

I'm just about to read their paper and thus I haven't
formed an opinion on their approach yet myself.

Thanks
Shane

 A slightly silly approach, IMO, but it would certainly be a tractable
 research program to apply NM to these tasks

 I'm more interested in the AGI-SIM approach, however...

I like the gist of it ... though just did quick skim of the paper. In
particular I like the idea of pushing/orienting AGI systems toward NLU
and human standards to promote usability (or more properly: our
ability to mutually relate). 

As AGI testing and validation goes, some might recall in my IVI
Architecture posted here about a year ago, I specified testing to
proceed from Mental Status Tests (basic orientation, attention, memory,
etc. tests like a human neurologist would administer) - Personality
Tests (to detect any severe psychoses, in interest of FAI :-)) - IQ
Tests (here's where WAIS, and others would come into play). The latter,
I agree, is largely the crux of what is meant by Intelligence. But there
is a lot of cognitive framework that needs to be in place first.

After standard IQ tests, one would start testing in particular narrower
domains of interest to the AGI's application at hand, e.g., AP
Chemistry, Astrophysics, Auto Mechanics, Symphonic Composition, or
whatever.
