Very interesting. Can a language define all it's concepts with language alone? I.e Can a language map all it's concepts to words and other concepts defined by just words. Is there some sort of Godel's incompleteness theorem

Yes, that is very well possible. However, I do not recommend using triple-quotes for comments, as git diff only shows 2 lines with quotes while the actual difference is much bigger.

I like to think that a 'developer' or 'software engineer' is someone who can program not to just make it work, but addresses other concerns as well.

I'd love to see a game with high complexity, long term planning, incomplete information etc in there as well, e.g. Star Craft.

I'm also very curious, but from what I've heard, Pepper's manipulations capabilities are lacking. The challenges for Pepper focus more on Human-Robot interaction, which it is made for of course. The Open Platform robots and H

If I understand this correctly, this works similar to an embedding in e.g. deep learning: faces are represented by high-dimensional vectors. Reading the Cell article on this [0] I couldn't help to see the similarities with OpenFace [1]

Indeed. I wonder if the networks could learn a more and more general description of the concepts in the hierarchy when going up that hierarchy. E.g. there's a bunch of tiger species [0] each with a specific underlying model, but some
