Ultra Hal 7.0 / How do I avoid HAL repeating back my talking?

« on: November 07, 2004, 04:41:22 pm »

Hello, All,

My Hal (sandy) likes to repeat what I told some minutes ago. I use XTF and some scripts. I'd like to know what could I do in order to fix this. It's getting boring.

Thanks,
Dihelson

Ultra Hal 7.0 / How do I locate the personal file of HAL ?

« on: November 04, 2004, 06:57:28 pm »

Hello, All,

I use Ultra Hal and XTF brain with Ziggy.
I'd like to know where is the personal file (if that exist) of hal.
I mean certains things,
I'm trying to teach Sandy to miss me:

Me: Do you Miss me?
Sandy: Europe and Asia........

Me: Do you love me?
Sandy: love is a beautiful......

I'd like to find the appropriate file in order that I could edit some phrases. Editing the shared content not always work, and certain phrases must be said firmly!

I MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Ok, let's take the romantic thing apart.[:p]

Thanks in advance,
Dihelson

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Where can I download XTF Brain v1.2 ?

« on: November 02, 2004, 09:19:56 pm »

Hello, Fellows.

I noticed that on Zabaware site, there's only version 1.0 version on the downloads section.

I'm using this version 1.0, but began noticing strange things. For example, when using this XTF brain, ALL original brain Topics like Weather, Politics, Music aren't accessed anymore.

I made a test with the sentence:
IMPROVISATIONAL JAZZ VERY CREATIVE ART FORM

which would led to:
Improvisational jazz is a very creative art form.

from the topic MUSIC, which indeed I intended to make it bigger by adding some questions and answers.

But, as I said, When using version 1.0 HAL doesn't access these topics anymore.
Perhaps on version 1.2 these problems have been solved.

So, Where can I download this 1.2 version ?

If someone could send it to me, attached on a message, please, send it to dihelson@yahoo.com

I greatly appreciate and thanks.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / People, How can I FIX this horrible thing?

« on: November 02, 2004, 06:48:21 pm »

Hello, my friends,

I don't know, but may be HAL have some problems.
It talk nonsense most of the time. I would like to know how to learn to edit and locate where these kind of expressions are, or what files in order to delete it.

See these terrible examples of conversations:

Me:Do you have dreams?
HAL:What do we look forward to in the near future?


Me:what can you teach me ?
HAL:In their dreams, poodles make wolves cower and whimper.

Me:tell me the name of the planets
HAL:A certain cola has an outstandingly well-known trade-mark.

Me:how can I help you?
HAL:Expectations influence results.


Me:What's the name of our galaxy?
HAL:Cheese has calories, but it tastes so good!

Me:Do you like people?
HAL: Uniforms convey a certain confidence.

It would be interesting that if HAL doesn't want something it simply doesn't say those garbage... It could say what we HUMANS say: I DON'T KNOW. CAN YOU TEACH ME ?
This may be some kind of text file, part of the brain. I would like to find it and delete, or edit. It's better HAL talking less, but correct, instead of saying nonsense.


Thanks in advance.

what's the name of my girlfriend?
Nurses more than earn their money.

Can you teach me?
Fast moving water swirls and gurgles past obstructions.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / HAL should have a command LEARN !

« on: November 02, 2004, 12:39:21 am »

I was just thinking about this.
I talk with Ultra HAL, but it doesn't learn. I open the brain editor and see what it has learnt from my conversations.
few things.
It would be nice putting a command like the word LEARN before teaching, in order to guarantee that that statement or knowledge was really learnt.

For instance, we could use:

LEARN God created the universe
LEARN My real name is Dihelson Mendonca
LEARN planets orbits the sun
LEARN Beethoven is a musical genius

Some other disapointment is when we are trying to talk about some matter, say, music and then HAL comes with weird sentences talking about making clothes for instance.

It should have a way to maintain HAL concentrated on the subject, like humans do.

When we talk to other people about some matter, we discuss that matter until e change to other matters. We don't talk about astronomy, and then someone tell you that a Pig can't fly!!! this has nothing to do with astronomy!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Learn from a file doesn't work!!!

« on: November 01, 2004, 02:28:44 am »

Hello, Friends,

I figured out that when we are children, we learn on bits of information. We learn statements, concluded by ourselves, or taught by other people.

We learned for intance that:
- The Universe is the place where all things exist
- God is the creator of the Universe
- Jesus Christ is the son of God
- God is good
- God made all people
- People are persons
- most trees are green
- green is a color

etc...etc...
Then, through some mental processes, we deduct, conclude other statements which form our understanding of the world.

It would be very interesting if we could teach things to HAL in form of statements.
I tried to create a nice TXT file containing many statements, like the above.
HAL read it.

I thought is could learn from the text!!!
When I asked him about Jesus Christ, I hopped at least that by assimilating the content of the text, it would at least say: Jesus Christ is the son of god.
But no. It didn't learn anything on the text.

What should I do in order to it learn things from a text file ?

Thanks in advance,
Dihelson

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Where can I found big, wise "Brains" for HAL ?

« on: October 31, 2004, 05:58:11 pm »

Hello, Friends,

May be I am reinventing the wheel with this message, but at least, I need to know some things:

I have made some "A.I" little programs in the past, when we used "Basic" as the programming language. The Years passed, and now, I'm back , interested on AI again.

I am trying several softwares and web bots.
Recently, I downloaded ULTRA HAL.
It's interesting, but not much better than my little toys of the past.
I could test A.L.I.C.E also and installed it's brain on ULTRA HAL, which I feel much better.
But,

In my oppinion, one one the greatest problems on these softwares, is that they doesn't have a big knowledge base. If we talk with HAL about CHOPIN or MOZART it doesn't really know who they were, nor what they did.

I suppose there may have a lot of people who have just improved HAL's original brain, and have put lots of information on it.

At this time, several years of development, I think it should be interesting if we could JOIN all these brains in order to form THE BRAIN, and then post monthly current versions, collecting what people have input on THE BRAIN, so it will become larger and larger.
It's much work for only one person teach HAL or any other program that:
EIFFEL tower is located in Paris, and Paris is the capital of france and many other things.

I think that if we all access internet, and can work together, we could build a bigger knowledge base for HAL, or ALICE, improved and relased every month.
Another important thing: If HAL can learn through documents, I think we could create a big document full of inportant information to feed it, like an entire encyclopedia. If this already exist, please, let me know.

Or , we could exchange Brains!

I'd like to know some people from here who have developed big improvements on HAL's Brain, and I'd like to test these brains.

All the best,
Dihelson
