Description:
Creating a program by manually formalising steps for a task has two main problems, human interpretation and limited adaptability. (1) Human interpretation is required because a program cannot do it alone. In order for a program to learn from any form of communication, the program must know the meaning behind each term and the meaning behind those meanings and so on. This is an issue of context. (2) Limited adaptability is due to the program not having the ability to introspectively look at those rules and even if it could, there is the issue of context again.
These problems regarding context, meaning, understanding, learning, adapting and so forth have been overcome in the past by creating specialised programs for specialised problems and this has been useful but also limited. Recently knowledge bases encompassing all sorts of knowledge people take for granted have been developed. This project aims to (1) develop methods of integrating knowledge bases along with natural language processors and artificial life theories and to (2) investigate their affect on learning and task performance. Imagine an artificial intelligence that can one day make use of the vast store of written human knowledge.
