Comment A type of learning tool for people (Score 1) 371
Dr. Wallace,
Imagine the construction of a learning tool consisting out of a real-time system devoted to organizing and associating data from n-inputs (use the imagination here) into an internal, learned representation. This would (hopefully) in turn allow us to construct tools to "debug", or "unwire" the internal representation (that would be evolved in real-time) of the associations, or beliefs, though I tend to shy away from such conceptualizing -- in effect a creating a looking glass into an alien world to us that is the system's data store itself. Is it in your opinion a system of such broad focus (which seems to be adverse to many applications of "AI" today) and unpredictable internal representation be useful for us to learn about ourselves and our own environment? There is a parallel I am drawing here that has foundations in the philosophy of our own lives, and our ability to perceive that which we may be otherwise blind to. Thank you.
