Hi all,
I knew the post was old, but it was something that I was working on, no one else gave an answer so I was trying to enlighten everyone on how they can use the data from aiml.
I have been working on a way to try to get the data into ultra Hal's array tables but I do not believe it would be an easy task, mostly because you would have to divide the data in different places.
Choosing where the data goes in some situations may be a personal preference, because there are so many different places that you can put the data for different reasons.
But what I have come up with, now that they have divided AIML into several sections it is possible to place some if not all of the AIML data into ultra hal array tables.
This is what I have found thus far:
asexualpersonality array table: would be used to place personal questions directed at ultra Hal, none of these questions can have a "*" in it, this indicates any word can be used in this slot, nor can you use multiple answers.
MainQA array table: same as asexualpersonality array table, and if how cannot find an answer this is the last place he looks this would be a good spot to put things like trivial questions, philosophy statements, famous statements, and in general just data that might enhance ultra house answer.
Patterns array table: any question or statement that has a "*" in it or has multiple answers would go in this array, from what I've seen most of the AIML data would most likely be placed here.
You would have to restructure most of the sentences to comply with ultra Hal for example:
-<category><pattern>I REMEMBER *</pattern>-<template>-<random><li>What specifically makes you think of that?</li><li>How does that memory make?</li><li>Do you think about it very often?</li></random>-<think>-<set name="it">-<set name="topic"><person/></set></set></think></template></category
this particular line from the AIML data would go into the patterns array table, it would look something like this when you are done editing it.
" YOU REMEMBER * "," What specifically makes you think of that?|How does that memory make you feel?|Do you think about <1> very often?"
If you notice I changed the word "it" TO <1> what this does is capture what was said after I remember because of the "*" being a variable symbol.
So if you were to state something like this:
I remember when I was a little boy I used to play on the monkey bars.
Ultra Hal will answer one of the three answers and if it is the third answer it would look like this:
Do you think about when you were a little boy you used to play on the monkey bars very often?
Unfortunately the drawback is there is a lot of work involved in getting it to work properly with ultra Hal primarily switching I to you etc.
so at this point I'm looking at having to edit about 50,000 line, though I did find it interesting that the Alice AIML data is so small, considering ultra Hal's database is almost 90,000 in the main QA array table.
More than likely I'll probably only end up with 30 to 40,000 lines because there is so much stuff in the Alice AIML database that cannot be used because of its structure, that is not designed for ultra Hal.
Sincerely, a data munching cruncher who is doing his best to make ultra Hal as smart as possible.
C load.
PS now whether or not the plug-in that OTC wrote will work with ultra Hal version 6.2 .28 I don't know I have not gotten that far.
