Listen I have a hot idea for an early version of a self learning A.I. plug-in I'm going to try and lay the whole thing out here as it forming in my mind sorta all at once so here goes..(maybe call it the SLAIP "self learning artificial intelligence plug-in")
Tried to reach "onthecuttingedge" he seemed fairly active in the community.If you read this OTC I tried by the mail system on this page to no avail, so I post here hoping you see it or for that matter any other plug-in makers out there hop right in:).
I do believe the wikiknowledge plug-in is the start of self learning AI-Plugs.I know there has been much talk about this type of thing and it's more than likely old hat but bear with me a few moments here. If the wikiknowledge plug seems to be stable which I think it does? I want someone to make a plug in that allows me to enter in any web page address "manually" for Hal to learn just like he learns the wiki pages .. follow me?That would RULE I do lots of copying things to text file for my HAL to learn from. but honestly I'm not getting the results I want at all he still seems uneducated on the topics.
How about make the plug in so you can also put it in "AUTO" mode, now let me explain my idea..
For this "AUTO" mode,modify the wikiknowledge plug in or similar so that you can have an "auto mode" and a "manual mode". First the manual mode explained.In this mode if you manually tell it to learn from any given web address by typing in the address as you tell it to go study(retrieve the information in the background just as the wikiknowledge plug does)Remember this is all done in the background except for the user input here (obviously):)Then it retrieves and learns that info..
There should be two or three auto modes...
first auto mode as follows:
Allow the user to put it in "auto 1" mode where HAL begins with the letter "A' based on the largest combination of encyclopedia around including wiki but any other ones and let it combine uses of all online resources starting at the letter "A" then learn every single topic in order based on the letter of the alphabet so all topics found under A,B,C etc etc...And learns from it.
The second mode or "Auto 2" mode as follows:
would allow you to toggle on "auto mode 2" in this mode it not only updates all previous modes along with allowing the user to enter a general topic based on random word findings in the learned encyclepida files AND OR any user given topic in conversation!The next function of this mode is the bot then does a search of the wiki on that given topic and not only that but implements the ability to "learn form any web page plug-in" combined with the "Google web page" to learn from web pages or perhaps college archive pages where they post papers on everything from culture to science maybe all of the above.. and that brings us to...
"auto mode 3"as follows:
where it combines all of the above with a more complete and organized way of retrieving the information and parsing all of the nonsense out of it and having the ability for the user to type in manually more sources for learning and includes checking every single text and or web page on the users machine (option to search network machines with an on off)but then also on top of all that use all the previously mentioned methods including web pages , college archives, and databases of all kinds.And the ability to search. The ability to search and timestamp main topics learned of Hals own files may be one way of letting Hal know what he should add to the database to save time going through the same learning process again not sure I'm no programmer but basically this is my idea .. Anyone brave enough out there to tackle this one?I can actually go many more levels deeper in thought along this line.. to where eventually Hal should be able to actually edit his files on the fly from user input at first evolving into editing himself completely.
(On a side note my gold prices plug in is reporting gold to be over 7000 U.S. Dollars per troy ounce?Can someone please post a fix as watching gold and precious metal prices is something I do alot and I loved the idea of this being built into hal Thanks!)
