Teraflop-scale Incremental Machine Learning

Abstract: We propose a long-term memory design for artificial general intelligence based on Solomonoff's incremental machine learning methods. We use R5RS Scheme and its standard library with a few omissions as the reference machine. We introduce a Levin Search variant based on Stochastic Context Free Grammar together with four synergistic update algorithms that use the same grammar as a guiding probability distribution of programs. The update algorithms include adjusting production probabilities, re-using previous solutions, learning programming idioms and discovery of frequent subprograms. Experiments with two training sequences demonstrate that our approach to incremental learning is effective.
