The third installation of the ultimate intelligence series was submitted to AGI-2017. Unfortunately, it was not received very well by the reviewers whom found fault with my paraphrasing of the conclusions of Karl Friston’s free energy principle research program. Here is the abstract and the paper for your perusal, what is your opinion?

Abstract. We propose that operator induction serves as an adequate model of perception. We explain how to reduce universal agent models to operator induction. We propose a universal measure of operator induction fitness, and show how it can be used in a reinforcement learning model and a homeostasis (self-preserving) agent based on the free energy principle. We show that the action of the homeostasis agent can be explained by the operator induction model.

Ultimate Intelligence Part III: Measures of Intelligence, Perception and Intelligent Agents

Eray Özkural

Eray Özkural has obtained his PhD in computer engineering from Bilkent University, Ankara. He has a deep and long-running interest in human-level AI. His name appears in the acknowledgements of Marvin Minsky's The Emotion Machine. He has collaborated briefly with the founder of algorithmic information theory Ray Solomonoff, and in response to a challenge he posed, invented Heuristic Algorithmic Memory, which is a long-term memory design for general-purpose machine learning. Some other researchers have been inspired by HAM and call the approach "Bayesian Program Learning". He has designed a next-generation general-purpose machine learning architecture. He is the recipient of 2015 Kurzweil Best AGI Idea Award for his theoretical contributions to universal induction. He has previously invented an FPGA virtualization scheme for Global Supercomputing, Inc. which was internationally patented. He has also proposed a cryptocurrency called Cypher, and an energy based currency which can drive green energy proliferation.

      Thank you Michael. I am trying to make it into a theoretical book on AGI, many other chapters are planned. I hope machine learning researchers and students will enjoy it, I’m going to put a lot of effort to make it a bit more ambitious than usual.
