Oh hey, something I know something about!

I've long held the belief that if you want to simulate human behaviour, you need human-like memory storage, because so much of our behaviour is influenced by how our memories work. Even something as stupid as walking into between rooms and forgetting why you went there, is a behaviour that would otherwise have to be simulated directly but can be indirectly simulated by the memory of why an Agent is moving from room to room having a chance of disappearing.

Now, as for how useful this will be for something that isn't trying to directly simulate a human and is trying to be "superintelligent", I'm not entirely sure, but I am excited that someone is exploring it.

I never did get many citations for these, maybe I just wasn't very good at "marketing" my papers.

The memory system I am working on is specifically targeted at simulating human memory and retrieval patterns, including memory consolidation during sleep cycles. I would love to discuss the topic more with you - I'll look into getting access to your papers.

My research would be wildly out of date by now but I'm happy to chat. I probably have pre-corrections copies of some of the papers I could send you... and about a hundred citations I fetched back when I was doing this research.
