Mentifex AI Minds are guaranteed to think.

The AI Minds in JavaScript for MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) are guaranteed to think and reason in English, Latin or Russian. MindForth AI for autonomous robots is guaranteed to think in English. The ghost.pl AI in Perl is guaranteed to think in both English and Russian.

[2020-06-13 Sat@SPB] Yesterday I posted an AI comment in the Latin subReddit and it seemed like I received at least a hundred pertinent page-views from all over the world. It was fortunate that I had recently initiated the http://ai.neocities.org/LaThink.html webpage.

My AI project has gone so many decades without acknowledged success, that I tend to yield to the idea that there will never be such success. My efforts flag and falter under such discouragement. Oftentimes, however, I remind myself that I have indeed created basic artificial intelligence.

My recent memetic ploy of stating that my AI Minds are guaranteed to think is an effort to get Netizens to focus much more attention than usual on the functionality of the AI Minds. By guaranteeing that my AI thinks, I am laying down a challenge for some one to disprove my claim of a thinking AI.

There may come a flash of publicity if some journalist or website writes a treatment or an article about my AI guaranteed to think. An author could run the AI through its paces and state whether or not real thinking seems to be going on.

Another publicity breakthrough could occur if the worldwide classical Latin community adopts my Latin AI as a serious project. People could write scholarly papers about my Latin AI or they could try to develop the software further.

On any given day my AI project could burst into sudden, widespread notoriety. For instance, if John Markoff were to write about my AI in the New York Times, millions more people would become aware of it.

I am a little surprised that there has not been a backlash of indignant Netizens angrily denouncing my guaranteed AI as a totally false assertion. If the software did not perform at all, Mentifex-bashers would probably be jumping all over it. My detractors are perhaps afraid to look bad if they try to discredit my AI and they are subsequently proven wrong.

So the success or failure of my lifelong AI project is still very much up in the air.

I have made a modest living in ML over the past 10-20y.
The number of real-world applications have grown exponentially
over that time.
A typical task involves predicting what output corresoonds
with a given combination of inputs.
To train such a model usually takes many combinations of
inputs for each possible output.
But an AI should be able to learn with just a few examples.
If you can demonstrate an "AI" s/w that can perform this way
every business person understands it's a licence to print money.
Check out kaggle.com & other similar farming sites for examples
of tasks that organisations want solved.

There exists in the neural nets literature a NN version of the
Mentifex paradigm.

Prof Graupe writes in [1] about the LAMSTAR human CNS NN "Mentifex":

"The neural network discussed in the present section is an artificial
neural network for large scale memory storage and retrieval of
information [Graupe and Kordylewski, 1996a,b]. This network attempts
to imitate, in a gross manner, processes of the human central nervous
system (CNS), concerning storage and retrieval of patterns,
impressions and sensed observations, including processes of forgetting
and of recall. It attempts to achieve this without contradicting
findings from physiological and psychological observations, at least
in an input/output manner. Furthermore, the LAMSTAR (LArge Memory
STorage And Retrieval) model considered attempts to do so in a
computationally efficient manner, using tools of neural networks from
the previous sections, especially SOM (Self Organizing Map)-based
network modules (similar to those of Sec. 8 above), combined with
statistical decision tools. The LAMSTAR network is therefore not a
specific network but a system of networks for storage, recognition,
comparison and decision that in combination allow such storage and
retrieval to be accomplished."

The publications cited are perhaps too old to contain anything about Mentifex AI.
Thanks nevertheless for providing the information.

The Mentifex AI project is still going strong, even during the pandemic.

Around the world, some persons are interested in the Mentifex ancient Latin AI.
It is very unusual for anyone to program a conversational AI in Latin.

Other persons are interested in the Mentifex Russian AI Minds coded in JavaScript and in Perl.

The current global pandemic gives interested persons more time and solitude for studying strange AI designs such as from Mentifex.

These Mentifex AI programs are difficult for human beings to understand, so they will be appreciated only very slowly over a long period of time.

http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=307824.307853 -- remains as a scholarly paper about Mentifex AI.

Meanwhile Mentifex here is reading "East of Eden" in English by John Steinbeck and is waiting for the arrival of a book to read in Russian called ""Moskva-Petushki"" or in English "Moscow to the End of the Line". [Coding AI in Russian has made Mentifex able to enjoy reading novels in Russian."

Bye for now,

Arthur (Mentifex)
