The AI Engine

Boner- not sure I understand.. is this something instead of the "Once" meaning of the checkbox?

rev- isaac has it exactly right if it's a response.

Well, let's say I had three keyphrases, dogs, i like and i like dogs, all having the same rank, one response, and the 1 box checked.

If a bot said "I like dogs" a first time, the i like dogs keyphrase should be used first since it matches the most words. Later in the conversation, the bot says it again, and the i like response would be said. Then the dogs keyphrase would hit on the third time, and finally an xnone would trigger on the fourth time the bot said "I like dogs."

It would just be a way to prevent bots from repeating themselves when there are numerous alternate keyphrases that might work just as well, rather than having to add multiple responses to every keyphrase.

Kinda related, there have been a few times I've wanted to be able to create a keyphrase and rank it to be ignored completely- no responses, and don't even try to match this sequence to anything, just ignore it as if it didn't exist. Is there a way to do that? What is the effect of say, ranking a keyphrase -50?

ezzer- you could use 'goto xnone'

Boner- that's too different from the way things work right now. It'd require a huge rewrite, and I dont think it would work. Hmm.. I guess I see what you're saying but having multiple responses is pretty central to the system.

omg- goto xnone would work, alright...I must have been braindead to have missed that somehow. That didn't used to work, right? I must have just missed some update? I thought I couldn't goto xkeyphrases, then I heard that it was possible to goto some and not others- is that right? If so, which ones, or has that been added to the goto section of the Book of AI?

I'm testing something out, and could really use some help. I'm trying to get Julie Tinkerbell to take messages for me, and I think I've got it set up, but to know if it works, I need someone to try to get her to tell me something...any assistance will be appreciated and reciprocated.

Boner -- You could also use the "goto xnone" trick in that situation. If all the responses were checked to be used just once except that one, then after they were used up it would essentially get ignored.

Yeah, ezzer suggested that to me. That would kind of defeat the purpose though.

The point is that a bot might already have numerous responses for a given sentence, though only the "best" keyphrase will ever be used. Rather than adding numerous responses to every single keyphrase to avoid repeats, existing alternates could be utilized.

ezzer- right, that was an update not too long ago. You can now goto any xKeyphrase. Of course it wont work right with some like xmath and xgossip.

Prof, is there any way you could set the AI Engine to pre-process out the word Why when it's followed by a comma at the beginning of a sentence -- the way that it edits out "Well"?

I mean, the difference between

"Why are you clunky?"

and

"Why, you are clunky!"

etc.

That's kinda what I was asking in message 4031. It's true that you can make it goto xnone, but that's really more llike redirecting it than ignoring it. I still want the rest of the other chatter's response to be considered for possible matches.

Random suggestion- on the plug-ins page, wouldn't it be cool if there were a "new" section to highlight the newest plug-ins? It would make them more visible to users like myself that have read the plug-in lists so many times that they might not notice new additions otherwise.

can one write formula into memories? (not writing in botish, just demonstrating)
Ex: "Do you think that blah-blah is good?"
if answer= yes then x = x+1
if answer= no then y = y+1
RES if yes:out of (x+y) people ive asked (x) agreed with you!

Im not asking for someone to necsessarily work it all out for me I just wanted to know the phraseology or if its possible to keep a running numeric computation
