can be used for color vision, and multi-sensory and perception-action integration. The approach presented here begins with two separate Al systems, OpenCog (introduced in Chapter 6.3) and DeSTIN (introduced in Chapter 4.3.1) - both currently implemented in open-source software. Here are the relevant fe

somewhat in the de- tails from the manner in which these things would be incorporated into a standalone DeSTIN, but pursuing the same concepts in an OpenCog integration context. What we describe here is a way to make a "Uniform DeSTIN", in which the internal repre- sentation of perceived visual forms is

There are some obvious semantic relationships to be used in interpreti

k for Natural Language Comprehension Now we move forward in the pipeline from syntax toward semantics. The NL comprehension framework provided with OpenCog at its inception in 2008 is RelEx, an English-language se- mantic relationship extractor, which consists of two main components: the dependency extra

licit low-strength SimilarityLinks in the system in these cases, is obviously much cheaper than using them for all cases. We've been talking about SimilarityLinks, but the approach is more broadly applicable. Any symmetric link type can be dealt with about the same way. For instance, it might be useful to kee
