Solve these 3 simple theoretical tests to demonstrate human-like NLU. It’s possible with the science of linguistics — as explained by Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) — and the science of brains by Patom Theory (PT) because these cognitive sciences provide a better scientific model of language. It’s a breakthrough…

Was 2022 the year AGI became evident, with Google’s LaMDA being a sentient machine — or was it a year of increasing hype and desperation due to ongoing failures to demonstrate useful progress in AI? As 2022 draws to a close, let’s consider the progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) —…

PAT achieved 100%, and found errors in machine learning training data, on Facebook’s intelligent dialog tests 5 years ago. A fundamental limitation of machine learning is the reality that invalid training data results in invalid test results. Human beings make mistakes, but in languages we are exquisitely accurate.

AGI will come from brain emulation like Patom Theory (PT), a theoretical brain model, since human intelligence is a feature of our brain. Today’s topics are (a) what is AGI, (b) the scientific crisis AGI is embroiled in with deep learning, a popular machine-learning methodology, (c) what industry experts are…

Natural Language Understanding (NLU) doesn’t rely on consciousness, nor do most other brain functions. That was my premise in 1999 as I finished the development of Patom brain theory and moved onto the narrower artificial intelligence (AI) area of NLU. By removing consciousness as a consideration in NLU, we factor…

Why doesn’t speech recognition operate at human-levels? Didn’t we have a revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) with machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in 2012 that has improved AI since then? Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), or just ‘speech rec’, remains a somewhat useful feature, with the tech giants bringing…

Facebook said: “… goal-oriented dialog is … too hard, the stakes are too high … the wrong plane, the wrong flight, that’s a very big mistake in terms of money, in terms of travel, etc.” in relation to travel chatbots. That’s quoting Antoine Bordes from Facebook’s AI Research group in…

The new oneworld system is amazing, using our design features as discussed earlier here to improve their round-the-world ticketing. The team — including our designers, the oneworld business experts and the startup company we brought in to deliver the phase 1 implementation — deserves kudos for a job well-done. Round the world system (RTW) A…

The oneworld round-the-world (RTW) system we designed in 2020 is now online in Beta! This ushers in the Next Generation Conversational AI era — improving the interaction between users and machines. It aligns the approach that a sales agent uses, exploiting features of true Natural Language Understanding (NLU). Today, I…
