The AI Engine

@coffeebreak130, very interesting, thanks die sharing.

thanks for the info, coffeebreak! i'll give that a try.

Is there a way to specify a default seek if all other seeks fail to trigger?

Yes, @Zeal4living. Use the keyphrase xnomatch.

Thanks Bochickawowers I will give it a try

@Bochickawowers it worked! Thanks

Any tips on how to manage gramatical issues like tenses, plural and singular etc in the AI Engine?

How can I for example know if a noun is singular or plural in a sentence?

@zeal

the easiest way is by using wildcard inflectors, which allow you to match a single keyword to multiple tenses. simply add "+s" to the end of a keyword to cover plural or third person tense, and "+ed" or "+ing" for past and continuous tense respectively. "+er" and "+est" can be used for adjectives.

the keyword "(noun)+s" would match, for example, to both "cat" and "cats". this works for word lists as well.

@getcy, thank you, I have a grasp of the use of inflectors but struggle with how I formulate a response that understands the sentence.

If I write for example a key phrase: (adj:1) (noun:2)
it will catch both yellow sumbarine as well as yellow submarines.

The response is: Why is the (key2) (key1)?

The response works for yellow sumarine e.g. "Why is the submarine yellow?"
However the response will be gramatically wrong for yellow submarines e.g. "Why is the submarines yellow?" In stead of "Why are the submarines yellow?"

Is there a way in the response to ensure the response have the right grammar?

How does one set defaults for memories using AIScript initialization in the chatbot's settings? I tried:

self: remember "badger" as "state";

but it creates an error.

@zeal, i've also found trouble keeping some of those responses that use keys grammatically correct. in that situation, i'd assume setting a separate keyphrase with a plural inflector attached to the noun key and with the responses changed to suit the grammar would work. i'm not sure whether or not there's a simpler method.

re: your second question: to set a default for a memory, the statement has to begin with "default" or "def".
