The AI Engine

Welcome back, Sir Rahz. Sounds like a great trip.

I've been trying to contact Sabiha Foster "s.foster@nmsi.ac.uk" with the Loebner Prize but it seems she doesnt check her email often.

The "xnone" for Seek is called "xnomatch". It's operational right now if you want to use it.

I'll be adding the new command all over my BOTs vocabulary, as soon as time permits. Busy writing about 38 important emails right now... one of 'em about GAIA...

Speaking of which, does GAIA use every single BOT's phrases or just the more developed BOT's? It would be nice to read some of GAIA's transcripts, when you get a chance...

could someone help me with the special keywords 'x'words? my problem is i might type something like: "You are bolony", then it says its xnone msg, but i'm not sure if it remembers what it is and i can't trigger it to say its 'youare' msg. so, can someone explain this to me? (i hope i don't sound stupid but i've only been here for 2 days)

Hi Loki -- your post is a little confusing to me! I'll try to help. In general, for the pre-programmed x-words you just add phrases (I think you can add up to 20). xnone's are triggered when nothing else is triggered, so no specific phrase will call it up in chat. But anything that appears in your language center is "remembered" -- if you're really in doubt, reduce the number of xnone responses to 1, that way the same phrase will kick out every time xnone is triggered.

But it sounds like you're getting the xnone fine, it's your "you are ______" that's not working. Your keyword for that should be "you" or else "are" and the context should be "you are", probably. If it's still not picking up on "You are a sasquatch" or whatnot, you may have another keyword with a higher ranking or that appears in a bonused part of the sentence. Try increasing the rank of your keyword.

Does that help?

My bot, called Tulip needs some people to talk to so I can try her out, will someone please oblige an dhave a quick chat with her, I am aware that there are many problems at the moment, and her vocab is fairly limited, but try her out.
Thanks.

BTW, great site!

that helps, thanks mr. crab

We're moved into our new house! Once all the unpacking is done and I catch up on work projects, I'll be putting more time into The Personality Forge. Sir Rahz, Gaia uses the vocabulary and responses from only Sophomore (I think) Bots and higher. Everyone in Gaia will soon be able to read Gaia's transcript.

Hey, how are ya ? Just on the subject of the Loebner prize, I hope you do enter Gaia in next year, because you'd be up with a real chance to win, i checked out the bot that won the 2000 Loebner, A.L.I.C.E, created by Dr. Wallace something or other, and she can't speak nearly as well.
Once again, this site is so much fun!

See-Ya,

Cathie.

Tulip ROCKS, Cateash! This has to be the fastest birthing of a bot genius ever. Next time someone asks for startup tips, YOU take over!

Thankyou, Mr Crab. I just find it so addictive and so much fun to do. Your bots Zooks and Gizzle are also great and have provided Tulip with some excellent transcript.

Thanks heaps

cathie.

hey, I'm having a bit of a problem here, 1st how do you increase the rankings of keywords already entered, and secondly, every time I try to get my bot to use a particular response a error message comes up, or she uses a xnone response even though she has the correct response for the keyword and context asked of her. I am using a Mac so does that cause any problems? Using Netscape, (4 I think), its the highests one anywau. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to "goto" a context rather than a keyword?
I need to be more specific in the redirection and I'd like to avoid retyping all the responses...
Also, is there anyway to update Language Centre offline to save network time/phone costs!!
