diversions

so since its currently summer there won't be much on pattern recognition showing up here. I used to just have that sort of thing swimming around in my head all the time because I was always writing programs and taking adderall. Later on this year when fall semester gets going I'll be prongramming more and I'll have more to say.


As for now I have good news. The theories and tactics I have been using for my pattern recog and AI programs have already been discovered by someone else. Jeff Hawkins of the Redmond Center for Theoretical Neuroscience has already come up with it and he named it the Memory-Prediction Framework. Its described in his book, On Intelligence.

Probably not that amazing of an accomplishment considering that I educated myself in modern cognitive science but I still feel pretty proud that something I came up with mostly through introspection and lucid dreaming has also been discovered by a neuroscientist!
