This is straightforward: Strength is a measure of likelihood — it can be thought of as a probability, while confidence is a measure of how confident one is in the strength value. Confidence is related to the value of count. The more pieces of evidence upon which the strength is determined, the h

Yes all of this makes a lot of sense and could be exciting, especially the connection to Phi. Could be an extremely interesting paper — but a lot will depend upon parameter tuning as well as creating an appropriate experiment. Before we begin setting up the experiment to look for connections be

If you want to use Ubuntu 16.04, my summer interns built a new version of the octool for installing the dependencies. We have so far run into no issues using 16.04 (aside from some minor alterations for use with virtual machines.) Here is octool_1604: -- You received this message because you a

Hi, In helping out in modeling network growth of SIngularityNET, I have need for any data (quantitative or qualitative) concerning the success of our own algorithms compared to alternatives. I know our algorithms are unique and more diverse. I also have some data comparing PLN+ECAN to MLNs,

Hmmm. The code snippet I saw looks nothing like what the PLN deduction rule should look like, but rather a heuristic that binarizes the result perhaps for efficiency or for some specialized use case. As Linas says, Nil might know more about why that deduction rule is coded the way it is. The act

2016-09-12 Thread Matthew Ikle
Interesting. What I’m hearing is that while the original two methods likely achieve the requisite attention spreading they don’t do this fast enough. Rather than introduce a new third method, it seems to me that we could simply replace the spreading of importance from everything in the AF with
