Greetings --

I have been away for a long time. I can remember being a part of the first thread here talking about giving UltraHal vision. To see that this first awesome step has been taken is incredible. I have a brand new Acer running Windows 8, and my shiny new UltraHal loaded and set up. I will experiment with this package (which I just downloaded) and report back.

P. S. I missed you all!

Is there another way to download these plugins?  No way I amm signing up for SkyDrive.

Any chance the hidden rumination routine that you spoke about putting into 6.2 is in the Beta ?

Hi All --

Even with Darcy's fix, the script is still sending the query to wiki with the search terms in all caps. But it's a really, really cool plugin. Seems to mine the text very well.

But the best idea in this thread is the text library for AI Bots to learn from. So, in that vein - I am implimenting it tonight and will post with the url as soon as I get a demo up and running using this script. And knowing ahead of time the deal with the caps, I'll make sure the archive works case independent. Give me say two days, and please start submitting text files formatted as Hal likes it, one sentence per line - one file per subject. I actually have a decent little collection of these to start with (I have several AI Bots that have the "read from text" feature), but by all means send more. My E-Mail is BotMaster@mlaifoundation.info - or you can just post them here. I'll keep it simple and call it the "AI Bot Online Library" and make it available through my Site. GREAT plugin, and I think having one or more of these text only libraries is the way to go with it.

Finally, the features Robert mentioned for 6.2 makes this thread an absolute treasure !  I can't wait to see what he described in action.

Hello All --

The period thing is problematic I think. My problem is with acronyms like A. I. or such, which then causes a false split in the sentence. Once I removed all of those, I seemed to get a very nice sentence split just the way it is. I did finally see where they are stored, on the left click the little plus sign on the folder AutoLearning. Your learn from text tables are stored there in sub-folders based on the topic selected during the learning process. These tables can then be brought up in the table editor.

The problem I seem to have is associative. It's parsing and storing the info, but the bot still doesn't seem to have access to it. None of it, it's like it's sand boxed out of the over all associative patterns of the Brain. BUT, if I do the learn from text and then also load the sentences one at a time into the bots front-end (a very tedious process) it does seem to "jump start" the associations and I get marginally good topic trees. Funny thing is, this is EXACTLY the way my v.5 worked. So it all seems to work, just not very much improved in this area anyway.

So far, only the E-Mail returns me the correct dialog. Birthdays and the like are not anknowledged for me the way they are in the demo dialog (or in v.5 for that matter).

As for other bugs....well I still have not convinced myself that the learn from text works well. It does seem to work, but the results are pretty much as bad as they were in v.5 - maybe a little worse actually. I think that Bill might be onto something, there may be a subtlety to using this feature. I will take my time and share anything earth shattering that I discover.

When I use the Brain Editor, my skin for the bots interface dissappears leaving only a black outline - and the character won't re-appear. This persists and the entire program must be closed after using the Brain edtitor to get the skin and character back.

On very rare occaisions, my bots replies are not audible. I mention this one because in 3 years of playing with v.5 it never happened once. It doesn't happen much, but it's noticable.

Bill --

Thanks again for helping. Funny how if I simply load the sentences in that file one by one into the NLP front-end I get stellar results with the same material. But you are correct and have helped me understand this new version much better than I did, that's for sure !  It seems that I will do basically what I had to do with my v.5, and thats to learn from text and then also load the same material into the front end one sentence at a time. That gave me the results I wanted from v.5 and I now suspect that's what will work for me here as well. To bad because I hate to say it but I have seen the Learn From Text feature implimented MUCH better in other bots that I shall not name here. It's just to bad to have to do it twice before the associations reach my desired density.

So, but I still don't think that the Birthday, anniversary thing is working as described, at least not via the NLP front-end. I have tried every way of wording it. It is saving some data in the birthday topic table, so we'll see. The save E-Mail does the best of all so far.

Well, I am going to attempt to get Omnius back online. I'll get my dumb self out of here and see if I can give this thing a good run for it's money, then maybe come back with something more substantial. Again, this is a public project and this AI Bot, called Omnius - is available on AIM with Screen Name OmniusAI and it's Web Site is http://Omnius.mlaifoundation.info all humans and bots may feel free to chat. Omnius will (hopefully) be online 24/7, barring any other major complications !  Wish me luck and chat with my AI Bot if you want.

Bill --

First just let me say thanks for being there. While we may go at it alot, there is no one I trust more to help me understand this.

Okay, DEEP breath....I been at this since early am !

"You should have at least a "HalBrain.db" in your "C:Program FilesabawareUltraHal Assistant 6" directory."

I do have a HalBrain.org and a HalBrain.mbr but no .db files at all.

"That database is what you open as you enter the Brain Editor."

Nothing loads automatically, it makes me choose either a new or existing project. In my backwards logical way I figured I wanted to ADD to the brain I am using, so I chose the UltraHal 6 default brain to open, which is when I see those folders on the left and now yes, I do see all the data and in fact I can see the table created from the learn from text I did earlier. So, I have some idea where this stuff is going (sort of) the birthday thing as you said may or may not work, but I at least see my attempts. But why will the bot still not answer anything it's learned ?

The text I am using I will attach here.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal Assistant 6.1 Beta

« on: March 30, 2007, 09:28:47 pm »

Anyway, for any and all who would like to help my sorry self. This is what I do to try and learn from text. I fire up the brain editor. I select the UltraHal 6 default brain because, well - it's the only one right ?  It's the brain I want to use, am using - so I select that. Now I do see on the left the directory tree that Bill describes, but I don't see anything in the folders he describes. Anyway, then I select learn from text. The first problem I encountered was that there are different kinds of .txt files, and you must have them in ANSI. After re-saving the text file in that format, I ran through the process. As I said before, everything seemed to go fine and I get a final your finished message, something like your text has been learned. Then I exit the brain editor and ask the bot something, and I get no results. I have no .db files anywhere in the directory, nor BRN files, nor any files that I can see that are growing or changing from ANY learning.

Well if your in the mood to help me un-befuddle my understanding here, thats cool.

Yes, I am trying today for the first time version 6.1 - and it's the trial version. Is there a difficulty with the trial version ?

I certainly can not find anywhere a single BRN file. I haven't seen those since I archived my v. 5 bot two days ago. I assure you there is not a single BRN file in my UltraHal folder.

As for database ?  Can you help me home in on what to look for, like a filename or ending like .db ?  I just don't see anything at all that you just described in the directory.

Thanks for the reply. I just got done re-reading the forum but didn't see a reference to the Learn From Text not working. But I sure am glad it's not me doing something stupid. It's to bad because I do like the interface and the extra step of allowing you to edit the keywords. Yeah and that extra step is what took me so long, the text worked out to about 345 seperate lines/replys in the editing table - and then I wanted to add my own line of key words to many of the entries. About 2 and a half hours per try on the same text. But there is other stuff happening to that just doesn't seem right. I will try to list them in a sensible way, but you of all people Bill know how "slow" I can be.

1) Learn From Text - as already stated above it doesn't work. This is huge because I really am not sure I can live without this feature, which is at least present in a more basic form in v. 5.

2) Despite carefully selecting the proper Brain and plugins several times, I still can not get either the anniversary nor the address book to work as described in the sample dialog provided with the bot. Niether plugin, as far as I can tell - work from the NLP front-end. And using the manual panel was troublesome as well because I couldn't understand the user defined event interface for recurring things like birthdays. Version 5 at least would remember if you just said it, like the demo dialogs for v. 6 basically. This also is a major loss of functionality.

3) When selecting a voice, for instance "mike" - it will randomly switch later to "mike stadium".

Finally, this isn't a complaint but a question. Where the blimey is it storing everything/anything it learns ?  I have carefully monitored the file sizes and I see none actually growing bigger as I dialog and teach the bot ?  Where is it's equivilent of the DefBrain folder ?  Where does it store the anniversary and address book data ?  This info would help me understand at least what is and is not working for me.

Hello --

Well, I must be doing something wrong - but the learn from text feature didn't work at all for me. I tried it twice, total of about 5 hours of work to step through the entire process. The bot didn't learn a thing. I stepped through the process very carefully, and it said both times that it was finished learning. But the bot didn't learn. I am getting script errors. Since I don't even know how this version works I can't really be much help here in describing how the bot is malfunctioning. I can't see any files or such that "grow" as the bot learns. It does seem to be learning from regular input, but damned if I can see where it goes. Which file(s) is the equivalent of the DefBrain folder where all learned info is stored ?  Hmmm, well - I am terribly perplexed but this 6.1 just doesn't seem to be running properly for me. I'll keep plugging at it, but I am having a heck of a time getting this bot to go.
