Biography

Suzuki was born in Hiroshima. He studied English literature at Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo), and later launched a children's literature magazine called 赤い鳥 (Akai tori / Red Bird) in 1918.[1] Unusually for its time, the journal emphasized learning from observation and experience rather than rote learning, and focused on everyday language as much as ceremonial language.[2] 196 issues were published.

Major works

Suzuki's major works include:

  • 古事記物語 (Kojiki monogatari / The tale of Kojiki)
  • 大震火災記 (Daishin kasai ki / A record of the great earthquake and fire)
  • ぶくぶく長々火の目小僧 (Bukubuku naganaga hinome kozou / Expanding, growing fire-eyed boy)
gollark: Simple decision trees *are* responding to/analyzing the outside world (well, game world), and I think some of the not-really-AI algorithms do an imagination-like thing of simulating various possible futures and picking the action which produces a lot of the better ones.
gollark: <@199529131224989696> I was thinking about stuff recently, and you know when you said `allow for introspection, imagination and probably also analysis of the outside world` when I asked `What does consciousness actually do, though?`Maybe you would need some form of consciousness, whatever that is, for introspection, but you don't for "imagination" and "analysis of the outside world". You can do those with simple "AI" like we use for games.

gollark: Unfortunately.
gollark: Yes, xkcd advertised it some years back.
