Artificial General Intelligence

- I won the first Boris Kazachenko's prize in AGI! Knol

- The time for the new version theory of mind has come. Recently I've been translating in English my Teenage Theory of Mind and Universe" (2001-2004).  The new "Twenkid Theory of Mind and Universe" is trying to turn philosophy and ideas into a formal implementable theory and eventually prototypes.

Video Editing/NLE (non-linear editing)/Visual Effects

This project - Twenkid FX - was frozen for 2 months, lately I'm trying to spend a little time on it again - I need the software for my movies. It's still limited, but now has some really practical features such as doing complete NLE editing (cut) and using its interface to generate scripted jobs for VirtualDub, turning it into a non-linear editor.

It's too early to share it for other users, though. Stay tuned for news.

Smarty - maybe the most Advanced English-Bulgarian dictionary ever made



It was a 2007 prototype, but it's still the most advanced, I think. It's not AGI, but might be "reborn", could be useful tool and an ad-ware.

The Course in Universal Artificial Intelligence (Artificial General Intelligence/AGI) in Plovdiv University - Conclusion | Заключение на курса по Универсален Изкуствен Разум 2010 г.

Some of my best students and me

About the Course at Plovdiv University, and the Course Program

I'd like to thank the vice dean of FMI Dr. M. Manev and FMI for accepting this unusual course, and my students for their curiosity, smart comments, agreements and disagreements. Your company was enriching and pushing me to share and think more. Now I'm not that alone in my dreams and interests about mind and intelligence.

I hope to keep discussing with you, feel free to comment in the blog, if you wish join the Facebook group and share materials or ideas you've found.

Another course is being conceived for the winter. If it happens, it would be even more advanced, focused on Boris Kazachenko's and mine most advanced concepts and what I manage to understand and invent up to then. The course may include brainstorms and discussions on solving real generalization, architectural, neuroscientific, implementation etc. problems. Hope to see you again there, eventually!

Trivia

- Ironically, the last class of the advanced and futuristic course was in the oldest lab at the University, the only one with CRT monitors left...  :)

- The caption in the balloon on the T-shirt says "Science = Art + Fun". I got the blank from a  Famelab competition. Closer view.

- If you're interested in tennis: yes, Plovdiv is the native city of Tsvetana Pironkova who defeated Venice Williams at the Wimbledon quarter-finals.  :)
