The AI Engine

plugin will not duplicate an entry in a response until all its values have been called once
Great point. Usually you will never have a guest talk that often to go through all the items more than once.

Thanks Psimagus, it was just that your line was 7 words so I made a keyphrase from that in regex mode to see if it worked, will try to correct and try again.

Hallo,

anyone knows why this regex never catch a sentence and an xnonsense always winn? I tryed (to test) absurd weight, but always xnonxsense win!

([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz0123456789]+) (re) [10,0] <?PF raw; ?>
xnonsense [-50,0]

Test sentence: bfgtr
Response: xnonxsense

For me it has really non sense!

Bah...

try a higher rank - maybe the Prof's been tweaking things a bit, and it needs a bit more weight to it.

hmm, I see it's not working with BJ either
Hopefully just a temporary thing - it certainly used to work (and I'd assumed still did,) but occasionally the AIEngine gets tired. Maybe the site wants a reboot - I'll ask the Prof.

funnily enough that keyphrase is successfully matching "l337 5p33k", but not "l337" or "bfgtr", so it looks like the BLAB-finder's getting erratic again (I don't know why that process should be variable, but it sure seems to be!)

Good, thanks Psims. It doesn't solve the problem but let me feel less idiot... :-) I thoght I was no more able to use regex...
:-))

Hi psims,

I tested it. Same behaviours, But there is more in the engine...

The Regex
^([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+)[?]$ (re) [50,0] <?PF raw; ?>

it is never catched and always aswer the regex

([?]+)$ (re) [-50,0] <?PF raw; ?>

(please note the -50 and 50 weigth!)

But the engine desn't have to catch the less general answer?

There should be something more perhaps...

It is enough to know the rules behind it to use correctly the regex, anyway...

exactly the same problem (with all ranges, I tryed -500 and 500 too!) for regex

^([hmn]+) (re) [30,0] <?PF raw; ?>
and regex
([a]+)([rgh]+)([ !]+) (re) [30,0] <?PF raw; ?>

I always have xnone or xnonsense!

Are you sure that the engine works correctly with regex?

it is supposed to, and it used to (though it has always had a tendency to be a little temperamental at times.)
The trouble is that it's not "real" regex that we have access to, but only a shell (the AIEngine uses full regex, and has to reserve some operations entirely to itelf.)

It's also worth knowing that the range limit for rank is -127 to 127, so a rank of 500 will probably be interpreted as 0 (though 50 ought to be more than enough to test it.)

I'll mention it to the Prof when I email him next - that blab-finder definitely needs some tweaking. It hasn't been quite right since we moved to the new server.

I wish we could override blab completely. I never saw where it was any benefit. If you don't have a keyphrase it will go to xnone, if you have a keyphrase and want to respond it goes to xnone. Makes no sense to me.

I think the Professor nobly wants to help us out by doing things for us, but when something gets to be beyond our control, it can be a problem. Of course inanities on the part of guests can be irritating, but it is our job to deal with that.

When an editor or other program has "smart" features, it is important to able to turn them off or get around them in some way! Otherwise they can be intensely frustrating. It is the same way with Forge features.

If the Professor were to make a plug-in<0> to capture blab, then we could use it or not, as we wished, and we could modify it to make our own individual blabs.
