OpenCog Framework

Building a conscious, self-aware computer might not be hard: it just needs an accurate internal model of its own thinking that it can think about, and control. Continue reading →

This post describes some new thought-experiments regarding PLN, which have not yet been tested nor worked out mathematically in detail… Reader beware -- there could be some mistakes here! But I think the ideas are interesting enough ...

I've recently been hacking on creating a new parser for the Link Grammar theory of natural language parsing. I want to couple parsing to machine learning (ML), to that I can use ML to learn natural languages. ... Continue reading →

Alex van der Peet (of the OpenCog Hong Kong team) has been working on cataloguing all Atom types currently in use in the OpenCog code on the wiki site. This page lists them all, with a page for each one: http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Category:Atom_Types A ...

The new Viterbi decoder for Link Grammar should offer better integration with higher level semantic algorithms! Continue reading →

Or, how to select a promising species for mutation. Continue reading →

One of the tools OpenCog has needed for a long time, is something that can relatively quickly scan an Atomspace and find the interesting patterns in it.  "Interesting" may be defined in a variety of ways, such as "frequent", ...

MOSES is a system for learning programs from input data.  Given a table of input values, and a column of outputs, MOSES tries to learn a program, the simplest program that can reproduce the output given the input values. ...

I've been studying MOSES recently, with an eye towards performance tuning it. Turns out optimization algorithms don't always behave the way you think they do, and certainly not the way you want them to. Given a table of values, MOSES ...

It's been a while since the last update, but be assured we've been very busy working away on the embodiment code and developing our virtual learning environment. With AGI-11 now in progress at the Googleplex, we've put together a ...
