The Verve Project: Progression of Intelligent Processes
http://verveproject.blogspot.com/2008/08/progression-of-intelligent-systems.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Progression of Intelligent Processes. Any collection of interacting components. A complete description of all components of a system. A sequence of changes to the state a system. What's the difference between a "random" and "non-random" process? A property of the state of a system, proportional to its ability to remain relatively unchanged over time when perturbed only by a completely random process. A target state of a system. A system which supports a specific variety of int...

The Verve Project: December 2008
http://verveproject.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. I decided to go ahead and start a company. I was planning on doing this eventually after I finish my PhD, but it seems like a good idea just to get the ball rolling now. The plan is to commercialize my AI research. Back in 2004 and 2005 I just assumed that my research would always be open source. I released my master's thesis implementation as the open source project Verve. I worked on the Netflix Prize. Would say), plus I would learn the iPhone SDK and be able to use it for...

The Verve Project: June 2009

Monday, June 29, 2009. IDSIA Postdoc, iBonsai, PhD Prelim, Sapience Engine, etc. It's been several months since I posted here, mainly because I've been busy working on my research code and my PhD preliminary proposal/presentation. Here's a quick summary of things since March. Instead of, "Wanna see this project I've been working on? I posted the source code on my website. You have a C compiler, right? At this point I have a software implementation of each of the 5 components, along with the necessary cod...

Sunday, June 29, 2008. The Toilet Test for Machine Intelligence. A machine could be considered intelligent if it makes a person uncomfortable to use the toilet in its presence. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Verve Project began as a research log for the open source project Verve. My initial effort to create a general purpose software brain. It continues as a record of my progress towards brain-inspired general AI, along with my notes on other projects and ideas. Also see my personal website.

The Verve Project: February 2011
http://verveproject.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Practical Solutions to Hard AI Problems. An observation: the practical solutions to several recent hard AI problems seem to favor ensemble. Based approaches. For example:. Data compression: record-setting PAQ. Based compressors are "context mixing" algorithms that combine several context/prediction models. The winner used a blend of many different predictors. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. You mustn't look for one wonderful way to solv...

Friday, February 20, 2009. Effective mind control (for any purpose) is not about making people do things they don't want to do. It's about changing what they want. Then they think they still have free will over their own decisions. To accomplish this, simply expose them to your idea/product/meme repeatedly. Here's how it works:. The more we experience something, the better we can imagine it. The better we can imagine something, the more we choose to think about it. Thus, we perform a type of unconscious ...

The Verve Project: iBonsai Version 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch
http://verveproject.blogspot.com/2008/12/ibonsai-version-10-for-iphone-and-ipod.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. IBonsai Version 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch. UPDATE (1/5/09): iBonsai was featured on gizmodo.com. I just finished iBonsai, a new app for the iPhone and iPod touch, which is now available on the App Store:. For more info about this app and my long-term business plans, visit my new company website. Bonsai is the Japanese art of miniaturizing trees by growing them in small pots. Now you can create your own 3D miniature trees right on your iPhone or iPod! Simple, clean interface.
