Research & Papers

Most of my ~150 published research papers — touching areas ranging among AGI, narrow AI, cognitive science, computer science, bioinformatics, longevity biology, finance, physics, mathematics, metaphysics, and etc. etc. — can be found via the links to the right (Arxiv, Google Scholar, DBLP).    My CV has an almost complete, but not hyperlinked, list.

A fair bit of my research has been published only in my books and not in papers.

The majority of my research in the last couple decades hasn’t been published at all, unfortunately, simply because it’s been more interesting to learn what I could from it and then move on to doing more research rather than taking time to write things up….   

Some fairly technical research ideas and conclusions have ended up as highly nitty-gritty blog posts on The Multiverse According to Ben, because sketching out a blog post is quicker than writing a paper.

Below are linked a handful of papers that I particularly feel like highlighting for a broad audience.  These are not necessarily my best-cited nor my most technically-intense works, just some papers I’d like to point out to the curious — fairly biased toward “Life the Universe and Everything” type papers (as opposed to say, papers reporting results of ML applied to this or that genetics dataset…).
