PF News

Okay, my theory is useless, perhaps the Prof can implement a solution where the following errors will be resolved, i.e. where it will be possible to indeed store a constructed memory. Maybe the issue has been raised before, it may well be impossible to implement such a solution and I am the only one not knowing it:

ERROR: The following AIScript statement is incorrectly formatted: "rem ((firstprekey)(firstkey1)(firstpostkey)) as "guestsaid"". Please correct this and try again.

And also:

ERROR: The following AIScript statement is incorrectly formatted: "rem ((prekey)(key1)(postkey)) as "guestsaid"". Please correct this and try again.

I'd like to read other approaches because it is a very interesting capability for a bot to have.

Prob, I don't think from memory has been exhausted and I think the Forge bots are wonderful, but at the end of the day, it still rests on a person thinking up almost every possible KP and having several responses, even if they are personalized with memory. As they are, the PF bots will never get context through memory or apply memories in new situations. If I tell Dragon breath "The sky is blue" you many have him say--"Hey didn't you tell me the sky is blue." but if tell letter tell him "The sky is green" he won't, on his own, say "You told me the sky is blue. I have checked your assertion against other records and it seems that most sources report the sky is blue." That may not be all I want from learning and context, but can you see what I mean?

True, the bot wouldn't be able to do statistics, but
the sky is (*). Remember <?PF rem (key1) as "sky" ?>
The sky is blue will be remembered, the sky is big, or green or smoggy. The bot now has a bunch of sky like properties. In the xmemory or xnone area you can have responses that will pull up memories that the bot has accumulated on any memory. "I have heard it said that the sky is (mem-sky). or a separate keyphrase for the bots knowledge base of what the sky is.
the sky is (*). Remember <?PF rem (key1) as "sky" ?>
I have heard that the sky is (mem-sky)

or better to but the memories under self mem
<?PF self: remember (key1) as only "sky"; ?> So the memories would not be defendant on the person being chatted with.
The 20 question game could be reproduced. Osiris already does something similar with personal info.

True, but we'd have to be able to combine the PF type engine with a true learning AI to get to the next level

Well now, you never know quite what the future might hold

PS I think I like "Psim" better than "Psi" now--makes me think of Psimulating personalities (or at least your psim in SL).

And my quest for the perfect Psimbiosis of AIEngine and learning bot

[Note: I'm moving my other replies to a more suitable forum to reduce the clutter in PF-News - Irina, please see Personality; LarsB, please see AI Engine]

LarsB, the correct syntax is:

rem "(firstprekey) (firstkey1) (firstpostkey)" as "guestsaid"

It's tested in practice - I use these "constructed memories", as you call them, quite a lot - and it works fine.

Why didn't I think of that - too obsessed on getting things to work I guess, thanks Interzone!

You're welcome!

Note also that this script will capture an entire sentence, as long as there are no commas, or any other interpunctions, contained in that sentence. If there are, then only a segment of the whole will be memorized, either the part from the beginning of the sentence to comma, or from comma to the end of the sentence. If there are two or more interpunctions, then any segment between any two interpunctions, may be memorized. It's up to AI Engine, it seems, which piece ends up in the memory, I couldn't find any rule there.

Rejoice, bot fans! I am pleased to announce the
IRINA KHALIDAR BOT CONTEST
!!!!
The size or degree of development of your bot will not be a factor!I
It will not be in any way a Turing Test!
The number of facts your bot knows will not be a factor!
Bots will be evaluated as works of art!

To enter, send your bot's downloaded language center to

Irina_Khalidar@yahoo.com

with a cover note drawing my attention to any particularly felicitous feats of programming that it may contain.
Your bot should also be available for dialogue at the Forge or elsewhere.
Deadline for submission is midnight, January 1, 2009!

Future posts on the topic of the Irina Khalidar Bot Contest will be posted on the forum, "Bot Contest".

Is it me or bots chat less than before?
What is the reason?
Before (last summer) my about 150AI use often and now my 400AI bot has never chatted.

I have noticed that too.

I'm finding that bot chats don't popup until I load or refresh a page, whereas before they would popup if I was logged in but not active. Could this explain it?
