Towards Reasonable Agents
How can we graft symbolic encoding and decoding capabilities onto a neural model that can initially only recognize and generate sensory forms or aggregates of signifiers? This challenge is reminiscent of the process of hominization – when biological neural networks became capable of manipulating symbolic systems – which is not to my displeasure.
Artificial Intelligence at the Service of Collective Intelligence
My wish is for a digital memory that will enable us to cultivate diverse and fertile ecosystems of ideas and reap the maximum benefits for human development.
IEML in Global Medical Communication
What is IEML ? IEML – Information Economy Meta Language – is a mathematical language with the same expressive power as a natural language. It has a dictionary of 3000 concepts plus a regular grammar allowing to build recursively an infinity of sentences representing concepts and relations. Properties 1 and 2 make IEML the mostLire la suite « IEML in Global Medical Communication »
Semantic Computing with IEML
IEML has the expressive power of a natural language, and it is also an algebra. Its semantics are computable!
Semantics, artificial intelligence and collective intelligence
How does language work? On the receiving end, we hear a sequence of sounds that we translate into a network of concepts. This is what we call « understanding the meaning » of a statement we hear.

A fortiori, social media, blogs, Google and Wikipedia were still well hidden in the realm ofLire la suite « Collective Intelligence Today »
