on keyphrase ranking, i usually rank things from 2 up depending on importance, with a base of 4. lately it seems like nothing under a rank of 4 ever gets picked up. he has a "come again" category ranked 3 and defaulted to something else in response today.

Everyman: come again?
Siseneg: it just depends on how i feel at the time, Everyman.

ruebot,
does it seem as though siseneg was responding to a "do you" keyphrase? Most of the time the sentence frag completion is great, but sometimes it needs to calm down.

he does have that response in his "do you" category, but that category is only ranked 2. he's getting too independent...

Ranks that are that close together (2 and 3) often get switched around due to bonuses in processing. The bonuses come from things like the length of the matched phrase, the location in the sentence, and so forth. If you want to make sure a phrase is caught, you should use higher ranks.

I use ranks between 0 and 10 for Simulo's "grammar" responses, but higher -- between 25 and 35 -- for his "knowledge" responses.

So "tell me a joke" will catch "joke" -- the more specific part of the sentence -- instead of "tell me."

things like "can you" i rank 4, something in the middle of the sentence ranks higher, "can" would be ranked 3 in case there was nothing else to target in the sentence. i do use ranks up to 50 but most are between 2-10.

Hey, you guys, does anyone know if this will work?

<?PF remember (key1-key2-postkey) as "mem-contents"; ?>

(haven't decided on the memory contents name yet)

Thanks!

Ezzer-

I've been trying to do that too. So far I've ruled out:

remember (key1) (key2) as...
remember (key1) and (key2) as...

I haven't tried yours. Let me know how it goes.

yeah, i tried those too...i'll keep ya posted, unless someone else is "in-the-know" first.

Those new local plug-ins look really cool! They're gonna be fun to try out!

what would trigger my bot to *sigh* if he does not have that as a response? it seemed to follow an x-emote-positive, but none of his responses are even close to what he said.

That's a built-in reaction to someone repeating the same message. One day I'll turn that into an xKeyphrase, but not just yet.

makes sense to me! thanks.

thanks again for such a cool site, professor!
