And I think you have to ask the question, does it even make sense to have
an AGI application? If you are already restricting a problem, doesn't
that by definition make it not general? I guess the idea that if you have
an AGI architecture, you can throw it at some specific problem. But what

OK Ben is then one step ahead of Forex. Point is time series analysis,
although it is narrow AI can be extremely powerful. The situation about "*
sentiment*" is different from that of Poker where there is a single
adversary bluffing. A time series analysis encompasses the *ensemble* of

Be courteous-- Ben asked specifically that any arguments about which things
are narrow-ai should start a separate topic.
Yea, I did not intend to rule out any possible sources of information for
the stock market prediction task. Ben has worked on a system which looked on
the web for chatter
Just one point about Forex, your first entry. This is purely a time series
analysis as I understand it. It is narrow AI in fact. With AGI you would
expect interviews with the executives of listed companies, just as the big
investment houses do.
AGI would be data mining of everything about a compan
1. Basic object recognition can be used in camera phones to identify people
in front or objects in front. This can be used by blind people to navigate
their environment better.
2. AGI expert systems can be used to diagnose diseases.

I don't know if it's low-hanging fruit, but it certainly seems like it
would require AGI to have a system that could given some picture or video
input, say what some object is. And along those lines, accept verbal
instruction as to what it is if it's wrong in what it thinks. I bring
that up becau
Ben,
Dr. Eliza with the Gracie interface to Dragon NaturallySpeaking makes a
really spectacular speech I/O demo - when it works, which is ~50% of the
time. The other 50% of the time, it fails to recognize enough to run with,
misses something critical, etc., and just sounds stupid, kinda like most
If you can do better voice recognition, that's a significant
application in its own right, as well as having uses in other
applications e.g. automated first layer for call centers.
If you can do better image/video recognition, there are a great many
uses for that -- look at all the things people a
Hey Ben,
Faster, cheaper, and more robust 3D modeling for the movie industry. The
modeling allows different sources of video content to be extracted from
scenes, manipulated and mixed with others.
The movie industry has the money and motivation to extract data from images.
Making it easier, more

Wouldn't it depend on the other researcher's area of expertise?
