Abstract: A method of forming a neural network includes specifying layers of neural network neurons. A parameter genome is defined with numerical parameters characterizing connections between neural network neurons in the layers of neural network neurons, where the connections are defined from a neuron in a current layer to neurons in a set of adjacent layers, and where the parameter genome has a unique representation characterized by kilobytes of numerical parameters. Parameter genomes are combined into a connectome characterizing all connections between all neural network neurons in the connectome, where the connectome has in excess of millions of neural network neurons and billions of connections between the neural network neurons.

Abstract: The present technology is an Artificial General Intelligence system and methods that will enable more advanced AI applications, with conversational speech, human-like cognition, and planning and interaction with the real world, learning to do all without supervision. It will find first use in smart devices, homes, and robotics, then in online professional services with an AGI at the core powering them. It makes use of neural networks.
