Direct training 2. strong AI techniques for conceptual transformation 3. actual brain uses genetic algorithms 4. mumble? mumble? cellular automata I can't think of what they could possibly be using the CA for. There are 15 patents, here's the only 2 I could find: http://www.patentmonkey.com/PM/searchresults/Default.aspx http://www.patentmonkey.com/PM/patentid/20030225829.aspx I haven't found any serious discussion of this anywhere on the web. My sense is that this system has very little "smarts", in the sense of actually being able to solve problems at the level of state of the art machine learning. Does anyone know how deep this is?

There are 15 patents, here’s the only 2 I could find:

I haven’t found any serious discussion of this anywhere on the web.

My sense is that this system has very little “smarts”, in the sense of actually being able to solve problems at the level of state of the art machine learning.

Does anyone know how deep this is?

I can't think of what they could possibly be using the CA for, can you? Does anyone know how deep this is? All I got from the website is that they have fully separated the "thinking" from the language part. So language inputs are converted into data structures, manipulated, and then translated back out to English. Ie, it should be possible to bolt on other languages. I haven't seen any serious discussion of this anywhere on the web. My sense is that this system has very little "smarts", in the sense of solving problems such as those handled by state of the art ML techniques.

I forget where to look for those that have been filed but not yet granted. Another patent on this technology is here:
