I mean you can learn till infinite times, but still do nothing useful with the knowledge: how do you plan to INTERPRET the knowledge? I mean suppose you have a few tera of knowledge, how do you DISCRIMINATE between what is good and what is wrong? Where is your decision algorithm? This is the whole point. I've never seen a good decision algorithm to decide which pattern is good and what pattern is wrong. >a self learning chess computer.

I think a machine which only knows true of false will never get smart like we humans are. Nothing compares to human mind! That i think i concluded not because i'm religious, but basically based upon tens of thousands of tries. Something is wrong or something is true on the computer. Nothing between that. Working with percentiles like the neural networks can do also sucks bigtime, as it still is not doing any statements between wrong and good. So on the one hand we want a clear decision to be taken, but we don't want to do that based upon heuristical bounds! >Disappointingly, the discussion thread died out - possibly because people didn't >realise what was in the thread. > >So here's the deal.
