A year ago I posted about dataflow programming and linear models of computation:

It turns out that those dataflow matrix machines are a fairly powerful generalization of recurrent neural networks.( Read more... )

"The AGI conferences are the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond." This is a small conference (I expect around 200 people, give or take), and this year it comes in two parts, AGI-12 and AGI-Impacts:

The videos from the AGI-11 are available here:

I recently found a very cool short paper (4 pages) which Dennis Gabor written 40 years ago.

It explains the math of associative holographic memory, which turns out to be very simple.

Because it is that simple, neither holograms, nor even waves and oscillations, are actually necessary to implement this scheme of associative memory.
