This chapter on AIT and machine learning was nice, don’t you think? Sure! I liked the idea that analogy is just a matter of minimizing complexity.

Oh, it’s just a special case of induction. No, I disagree. Analogy is a form of reasoning.

Yes, but, induction is more general. I liked the last thing about universal induction and universal AI. Yes, but it’s not computable.

It helps me understand that efficient reinforcement learning depends on your ability to compute the future. To me, analogy and MDL are closer to practical use. I like the idea of optimal trade-off between model simplicity and accuracy.

And so you must be exited to see that any form of learning amounts to performing data compression. Yes, we talked about that!

Yeah. As for me, my favorite remains the idea that anomalies must be simple to characterize to be genuine anomalies. Yes, that one also!
