re-reading
Lenat, Bouquet & Serafini and McCarthy
PLC � valid formulae
LMS/MCS � logical consequences
what are the 12d missing?
relation between contexts
implicit in the distance
goals???
defining a context is different from building a context aware system
systems have goals
Ted:
syntactic + semantic
sensor � what it gives vs what it means
you have to turn them into symbols
but they have different meaning in different situations
and so different statements in cyc will be relevant
sensors can be seen as making assertions
you need to make a lot of assertions about your sensors though
it shouldn�t boil down to the knowledge engineering
no learning
experimental pocket of hypothetical assertions that it adds + withdraws
what do you have to do to leverage Cyc???
what module do we attach??? e.g. to get it to help with pervasive computing
Ted: learning = recording to predict
no, learning is about getting to the essence, it�s a distortion
formal logic is bad for a big mess of analogue sensors
clustering in connectionist system for concept formation
proposal � adaptive UIs
Sesame � learning from what�s on the screen
Programming by demonstration/example
missing � analysis of the power of that approach
context � what it means depends on what resolution you�re talking about
context is implicitly contained in any learning system
