Talk:General Problem Solver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

General Problem Solver (GPS) was a computer program created in 1957 by Herbert Simon and Allen Newell to prove theorems and play chess. Play chess? --Abdull 16:54, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

That would be a too strong claim, yes. —Ruud 17:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah, this sounds better. While I have a clue what chess and geometric problems are, I don't understand what word problems are supposed to be. Bye, --Abdull 19:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Me either. Plus a link to the articles on "word" and "geometric" hardly seem helpful here. Does anyone know the specifics on what problems the article is referring to? --Alexdow 23:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

The aim og GPS is to be GENERAL problem solver machine. It can solve, in principle, any formalized problem. So theorem proof as well as play chess are all good problem for GPS.
