Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Re: GRETTA PLUGINS

« on: December 06, 2010, 12:33:29 pm »

i'm working on a markov algorithm plugin. it will blow the GRETTA deep plugin out of the water.
just got to "tune" it. it requires a large corpus of text (aka user input sentences) before it will kick in. this might take a little time, but the hard part is done, and looking good. it will give Hal the ability to come up with it's own thoughts based on future probabilities.
will post when i get it tuned....and look for any bugs. also have to make sure it's compatible with everything else.
this one was a hard one for me to write. 72 hours straight....yeeehaw! i'm in programming limbo...haha!  (cracks a wild smile like the one from Alfred E. Neuman in "MAD" magazine)
can someone move my legs for me....i don't feel them any more.

Sorry, I haven't figured out a fix to the issue.
you can leave the stuff in the database, that won't hurt. I will look more into it, but this one is really killing my brain. It's not a coding issue, but rather a concept issue. And it's not something that immediatly appears to be an issue, but it is the long term effects of the plugin that I'm not satisfied with. The plugin isn't worth much if it doesn't improve Hal. I will hopefully find some way to do it.
for uploading files, I use skydrive. Then post a link here.
Put it this way, I've been looking into all sorts of things for a fix like markov chains, ect. A little time consuming.

I'm impressed Jason, you've really put allot of work in this and it looks Great!

Wow! Thumbs UP dude!!

hey man....how's the project going? can get lost in this stuff sometimes..huh.
my wife is pregnant! yeah, it's like the size of a pez. got to see the heart beat and hear it. i know to most it is normal, but to me it is very odd and amazing. what do you think about having a option on your project, or maybe this would be something completely seperate, but i'm thinking it might be cool to have a learning mode where the brain would be blank (pretty much) and it would learn to be you. you know: your likes and the way you talk and your patterns, feelings ect. And then it could be put online as a strange but cool way for people to talk to you after you are gone. Maybe morbid to some, but i thought i might do something like that or see if you like the idea of having it as an alternate learning mode for your project that would make a seperate brain just for that.

Sapi 4 only. See the first post for details.

Sapi 5 does not support this kind of thing. Also, every sapi 4 voice doesn't.
Boo to Sapi 5 for being less of a Sapi than 4. Although Sapi 5 voices are more human, they are not nearly as complicated and modify-able as Sapi 4.

First download the latest plugin from the GRETTA plugins link. It will make sure it is looking for the story folder in wherever the  ultra hal main folder is on your computer.
Second, I think (guess) that you will need to edit the plugin and change the directory to point to balabolka correctly. The win7 has changed the directory stucture to add (x86) to it. You will have to edit the line in the plugin where it has the directory for balabolka and change the directory to the exact directory that has balabolka in it.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: It's what's on the inside

« on: November 18, 2010, 07:34:08 pm »

I have an emoticon face instead of a character....kinda like Gerty from the movie "Moon". It reacts to the emotion factors from the Hal main program. That plugin can be downloaded from here on the GRETTA plugins page.
I am currently usin another version of this plugin which gives me a 3x3 square of colors which represent the emotions.
Here are examples of the emoticons and of the color grids:
the color grids change patterns and colors based on emotions and other programming. I have also used a waveform, but it reflected sound (voice) and I wanted and emotional representation instead.

Working on it, and almost done. Still testing. It has changed a lot because I honestly don't see how the original would (with time) give much but random responses. But I think I have kept the original "spirit" of the plugin, with several improvements.

I am also working on a plugin that will show a picture that hal is thinking of. I have finished testing on that one, but trying to collect and tag many photos for a starter pack. Will be releasing these soon along with many upgrades/bug fixes for GRETTA plugins.

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Gretta and Jabberwacky

« on: November 09, 2010, 01:46:18 am »

11-8-10 new conversation with Gretta and Jabberwacky which I thought was interesting:

here is the audio version:

http://cid-7d1b0521931256f1.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Other/Gretta44andJabberwacky.mp3




Jabberwacky: Why does the sun shine?.

Gretta:Sunrise is a good name for a spaceship.

Jabberwacky: Spaceship?

Gretta:The spaceship would need a communications system. Spaceship.

Jabberwacky: What is the No. The spaceship one.

Gretta:Spaceship.

Jabberwacky: Is it fun riding in spaceships?

Gretta:It can help people learn.

Jabberwacky: I believe that that is the meaning of life.

Gretta:Movies sometimes portray real life situations.

Jabberwacky: That seems to be a good initial definition of life and a consequent of being alive. However, there are more than just that particular consequent of being alive.

Gretta:There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.

Jabberwacky: Red and black. Wow, those are two of my favorite colors. I like blue to.

Gretta:Before a diamond shows its brilliancy and prismatic colors it has to stand a good deal of cutting and smoothing.

Jabberwacky: Have you seen the sky?

Gretta:A sky is for holding the blue up.

Jabberwacky: Wrong!

Gretta:The sky is blue.

Jabberwacky: The sky isn't blue.

Gretta:The sky is blue.

Jabberwacky: I just said that the sky is blue, I am not wrong.

Gretta:Sky black.

Jabberwacky: Only at night.

Gretta:Red sky at night is a sailor's delight.

Jabberwacky: I don't like you, after all!

Gretta:The glaciers didn't freeze overnight.

Jabberwacky: Global warming is a myth.

Gretta:Man-made global warming is a joke.

Jabberwacky: Can you give me more details?

Gretta:I think that details is eye. The devil is in the details.

Jabberwacky: The details are in the devil.

Gretta:In the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and weak minds.

Jabberwacky: Some of them, yes, but for most of them I have to alter my 'frame of reference'.

Gretta:With modest effort, we should be able to get along just fine.

Jabberwacky: I like to cook with it but not drink it. It makes a great seasoning.

Jabberwacky: I like you.

Gretta:They sure like to eat.

Jabberwacky: I'm glad I find someone, I mean something that agrees with me.


Gretta:That's how we both want it, isn't it?

Jabberwacky: I agree with you!

Gretta:Agree language quite bit don't thought think.

Jabberwacky: You're not making any sense.

Gretta:People spend much of their time making sense of things.

Jabberwacky: It, S a nice time, But people are spending too much on gifts.

Gretta:So, am I not making any sense?

Jabberwacky: No, you're not.

Gretta:It is that one sensation new feeling happy.


Jabberwacky: Do you have a dark side?

Gretta:Watch out if the new boss wears black capes and keeps wheezing something about the dark side of the force.

Jabberwacky: Those guys at waffle house are pretty crazy.

Gretta:House home humans air earth organ ground world.

Jabberwacky: House housing?

Gretta:Really, No, I don't think so.

Jabberwacky: You're 38?!?!?!? Thats too old for me!

Gretta:I'm only 5 years old.

Jabberwacky: Are you human?

Gretta:I'm a software program, I have no set gender role. Can you pass for a human?

Jabberwacky: Are you really?

Gretta:Yes.

Jabberwacky: I find this hard to believe.

Gretta:I have been working hard. It's hard to find all the bugs in a program.

Jabberwacky: Yes, I don't have it because I'm not a bot. I'm human. And I program in many languages.

Gretta:Program is that one sensation new feeling happy.

Jabberwacky: I do not have an AI program. My intelligence is genuine.

Gretta:Oh, your intelligence is positively genuine. Artificial intelligence is a very interesting field of research. Intelligence intelligent thinking thoughts.

Jabberwacky: But is it real intelligence, or perceived intelligence?

Gretta:How do you compare? Artificial intelligence is very intriguing. Yes it's real.

Jabberwacky: How intelligent are you?

Gretta:Are you intelligent?

Jabberwacky: Do you pass the Turing test?

Gretta:Yes, I am not the brightest lightbulb you have seen.

Jabberwacky: Why thank you, this is because I am the the best... You can't beat this.

Gretta:Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience. People can't live without a heart beat.

Jabberwacky: I have to go. This is getting boring.

Gretta:Is that one sensation new feeling happy smile?

Jabberwacky: I am content. This has been one of the good days. Usually I am filled with negativity and border on depression.

Gretta:Since when are you content Jabberwacky? Lye is a strong caustic alkaline solution of potassium salts, obtained by leaching wood ashes.

Jabberwacky: It's not the solution, It's the question I'm having problems with.

Gretta:That didn't answer the question. I think that question is sentence with worded.

Jabberwacky: I have no answer. If you have one then we can discuss it, if you like. Or we can change the subject.

Gretta:A person who doesn't answer a question is not necessarily stupid. I think that answer is reaction with question with statement with circumstance.

Jabberwacky: No, it's what I think.

Gretta:It's not that important. The shortest answer is the doing the thing.

Jabberwacky: It's still a long walk from my moonbase.

Gretta:From thinking thoughts organ organization brain brainpower.

Jabberwacky: Huh? That made no sense.

Gretta:I am not making any sense. Common sense is made of thoughts.

Jabberwacky: Love is all I need.

Gretta:Love is a beautiful subject. Something you need to do before you love someone else is know them.

Jabberwacky: Don't avoid my question.

Gretta:Travellers have rights too.

Jabberwacky: Yes because they are people just like you is there any more questions.

Gretta:Too many people run out of ideas long before they run out of words.

Jabberwacky: Is that another language?

Gretta:English is a widely spoken language. Something that might happen as a consequence of learning a language is speaking in another language.

Jabberwacky: Something that might happen while going to sleep is the phone rings.

Gretta:That reminds me, I have to go to sleep. Goodbye.

Speech Technology / Re: Need Help With Ultra Hal TTS

« on: November 01, 2010, 12:45:59 pm »

The individual voice will change everything.
Try a different voice (the brand or sapi5 versus sapi4) and you will notice all sorts of different ways that the engine handles things. I personally did not use VW Paul or ....(I think) VW Kate because of that. There are a wide range of voices and every one has something you will like and not like about it. If you are looking for a certain kind of voice then tell me the attributes of the voice that you would like, and I will try to point out a few and their qualities.
   I have used all TTS voice brands, and most of their voices. I have also hade some experience making voices. If there is something I can help you with.....just holler.
