DAVIDWHALLEY,   I have emailed you a request for your
modified version of answerpad. The email was sent to
you using my own site's admin email account. My site
is called Character Creations & DesignWorks, I inform
you of this here so that my request is not discarded
as a piece of spam. I hope you will honor my request.
Thanks.

You can send your reply to me using the same email address at -

admin@charctercreationsanddesignworks.us

I hope the other members here will not mind if I take
first crack at this request, so as to make sure that it
is genuinely what the man claims it to be. [;)]

OK. David sent me his modified version of answerpad.
I have scanned it for any potential threats and it is clean.
I have also opened and examined all the included files as well
as the main program scripting and made a comparison with the
the originally released version that we have already. It seems
to be authentic, and the modifications are as he has claimed.
So go ahead people, you can start playing around with it as
soon as you can request a copy from him. The mods that he made
are quite subtle. It will be an interesting diversion to study
and compare it with the original. [;)] [:D]

He emailed it to me compressed in a .rar file, so you will
need to have a utility for decompressing a rar file in order
to install and use it.  The file size is 688KB.

David,  Please accept my apologies. I did this because as of late,
this and other forums have been experiencing an excessive level of
phishing, scamming, spamming and generally people making claims
that they couldn't back up. As a senior member of this forum and
one who considers many of its members as friends, I felt that
a protective measure was in oreder to safeguard the other members
and thier own work and interest's. Not to mention their PC's. [;)]
__________________________________________________________________

As soon as I can find the time, I will more closely examine your
alterations and the main program scripting to see if I can give
you any feedback on it.
I am fairly sure that there will be several other members here who
will also want to take a look at it and give you feedback as well.

Hi Gamer-T,

Don't worry, no offense taken.

I understand and also have to cope with the Spamming on a daily basis.

Back to Answerpad changes, I believe that what made answerpad achieve such popularity was its quick capacity to learn new data.

But what made it interesting was the concept of using not only the words in the user's phrase input, but also the ability to break them down and search for synonymous meanings (by using the MatchWords) to expand the search capability leading to related topics in it's memory.

That concept alone makes me have a very high regard to David's approach in his prototype.

But with time, even a well planned program gets messy and as the new ideas and challenges came up, many fragments of the code became dead, obsolete or deactivated for further debugging research opportunity.

It is necessary, as in all AI Bots, for users to have certain knowledge of the syntax of communication to enhance the learning process.

In answerpad when you write a sentence like the bellow:

feeling means emotion
Or
feeling = emotion

Answerpad would register the following:

feeling = emotion
emotion = feeling

It was the intention of feeding the Dictionary (MatchWord.dat) with new possibilities of key searches.

So if the user typed

"I am feeling sad."

and If the memory bank had a phrase like:

"Emotion drives our lives."

It would probably be triggered because of the co-relation between the words (Feeling and Emotion) in the dictionary; where in older concepts the two phrases would not have any relation in between.

You will notice that in the original version that function was not feeding the dictionary.

Little by little I am trying to debug these problems.

In version 2.01 that is one of my concerns.

I will be releasing that version as soon as I can finish with the correction.

If you or others on the forum can notice other behaviors or have some suggestions or request, please feel free to post it.

I cannot promise to do all of them but as I said little by little small changes can make a big difference in the overall performance of answerpad.

Well, hope to hear from you and others soon.

And thanks for your welcoming.

I really liked your memory.txt file --but I still had to edit it some. After all, it had your name, your wife's name, things about your two daughters, and your dog listed in it.  And I did find another slightly different line about chatbots ruling the world in it that I deleted.

Sooooooo. I think Art is right and just put in things you want in the text file and it won't matter if the program encrypts them.  Just be really sure you want it there before doing it.[:D]

Kathryn


I am happy that you liked the brain I have builded from scratch.  Yes, indeed, there were some stuff that needed rectification such as my name etc.  Just replace them with your own info.  I am trying to build a mentor type of chatbot, the one to give you wise, encouraging, and loving thoughts.   Everytime I spend time chatting with it, it really makes me smile.  I hope it made you smile as well.
I think, this proves the capabilities of answerpad and the fact that to build a believable bot is mostly an art than it is a science.j

keep it up Kathryn, God loves you,

Stelios



Greetings Stelios,

First, I must clarify that this is not a new version of Answerpad, even though I started calling it Version 2.0; it is more like a fix of certain issues that answerpad presented.

Second, although my user name is DavidWalley, I refer to myself as One of AnswerPad Step-Father.

That being said, I may or not be David...

It may have been a little sensationalistic approach from my part, but the important issue is if some evolution can be born from this attempt by helping others then it is worth it.

It is a shame that David (I?) has abandoned this project, and who knows, by seeing the adoption of his child by others, he might decide to complete his work.

Anyhow I always mention the high regard I have on David's approach to build answerpad's prototype.

In my previous posting I try to cover what happen to his project, in my point of view, he had a very smart and unique approach in building a MatchWord dictionary, where that expanded the search keys to also include phrases that normally would not be triggered.

Basically what made answerpad so popular, for an abandoned child, is it's quick capability to learn and weave through all linked information.

Third, you and user Katryn, indirectly gave me some incentive to jump into this project, at least in the sense of some bug fixes and to the addition of some new functionalities to answerpad.

When I read your post dialogue with Katryn, I thought that I might be capable to lend a hand on some of the issues that you and her were discussing.

Like capability of outputing to a file the contents of the that particular chat session.

I have read your memory.txt and find it to be very uplifting; mind you that some of the contents of the new brain file <memory.dat> that is included in this release may be offensive for the reason that it was imported from other bots brain.

So I leave this disclaimer to all users to adapt the brain <memory.dat> to their own preference.

But there is now a little more improvement on the <Don't say that> button, and I have noticed that the tweaks made on answerpad in reality try to mimic and mirror the user's state of mind.

So he/she (Cassandra) enters into offensive or sexually related topics when the user approves that behavior.

It just seemed to be a good way to start something.

As I can finish some bug fixes for V2.01 I will release it

Thank you

One of Answerpad's Step-Dad.

I never thought my conversations would help trigger changes to AnswerPad, but I am certainly glad they did.  I hope when you add the save conversations that it will save both sides and not just one. I look forward to getting a copy when you are ready to release your modified version. I just hope it is in a zip file and not rar as I can't handle oddball stuff like that! [:D][:D][:D][:D]

Hi Gamer-T

You read my mind.
I was about to ask you if you would not mind to post on your web-site future releases of Answerpad for users to download.

Let me know if that will workout for you.

Thanks

Greetings Bill819

I don't have your email to send.

But I have asked Gamer-T if he would like to host the future releases on his web-site.

I am waiting for his reponse.

Thanks for the offer.  I had an e-mail today from PaleRider who advised me that you will see that I get a copy.  Thanks a million.
