[agi] a mathematical explanation of AI algorithms?

2008-10-08 Thread Valentina Poletti
And here is your first question on AGI.. actually rather on AI. It's not so trivial though. Some researchers are telling me that no-one has actually figured out how AI algorithms, such as ANNs and genetic algorithms work.. in other words there is no mathematical explanation to prove their

There are a lot of mathematical proofs of convergence of ANN's and GA's, just look for the original papers about them. IOW, everything contradicts that. = Rafael C.P. = On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 6:36 PM, Valentina Poletti [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: And here is your first question on

For neural nets, Daniel Amit had a good book in the 80's reviewing the dynamics of attractor neural nets ... However, it is true that math does not really tell you what you need to know about AGI systems ... Math is more helpful for various sorts of narrow-AI systems, some of which are useful as

The more recent work by G. E. Hinton brought here by Ed Porter is very interesting mathematically (if you go into the details of trying to argument why it works -- probabilistic modeling a la graphical models). On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 12:32 AM, Ben Goertzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For neural
