is learned faster (9s67 instead of 21s47 for co:Q. Conversely the results for lamb show that when action sequence building-block is enabled, if the Occam's razor is too weak it can dramatically slow down the search. That is because in this circumstance the search is misled by longer candidates that fi

N nodes are activated and exported to the OpenCog Atomspace • Recognition that a block is present is carried out, either by - PLN inference within OpenCog, drawing the conclusion that a block is present from the exported predicates, using ImplicationLinks comprising a working definition of a "block"

This architecture is not yet fully implemented, but is a straightforward extension of the current OpenCog architecture for processing data from game worlds IGEA08], and is scheduled for implementation later in 2013 in the course of a funded project invo

his nature that can be effective in this context We have not yet done any sophisticated experiments in this regard - our current experiments using OpenCog to control robots involve cruder integration of OpenCog with perceptual and motor subsystems, rather than the tight hybridization described in Chapt

obabilistic evolutionary program learn- Mg is an effective method The probabilistic evolutionary program learning method we have worked with most in OpenCog is MOSES, and significant evidence has been gathered showing it to be dramatically more effective than genetic programming on relevant classes of p

re learning" - it's not actually a procedure learning process, but rather a process that utilizes the fruits of procedure learning. The well-known "Occam's razor" heuristic says that all else being equal, simpler is better. This notion is embodied mathematically in the Solomonoff-Levin "universal prio

igence (or any other kind of highly powerful general intelligence), the creation of novel ideas will be paramount. New idea creation takes place in OpenCog via a variety of methods - e.g. inside MOSES which creates new program trees, PLN which creates new logical relationships, ECAN which creates new a
