I was thinking about making a plugin that allowed any bot using the plugin that was online to get a response from a client side webpage
that would be updated periodically at www.ArtificialIntel.org.
anybody wanting to add to the Knowledge Client would simply e-mail me the formatted post script and I could add it to the client side webpage server to help boost the knowledge base.
How does this sound to you?

Hmm interesting Jerry...like a remote brain. I think some idea like that is worth doing. To go one step further how about writing a routine that will parse and interpret a WIKIPEDIA page - that would increase Hal's knowledge base no end.

Hi Freddy.
Your wish is my command!
Done!
all you have to do is ask HAL:
1. Please study about the Universe.
2. Please study about Science.
the words Universe or Science can be substituted for any other word you choose that's in the wikipedia encyclopedia.
a file called AutoText.brn will be generated.
All information that wiki has to offer on those subjects will be saved to the file.
if there is a similarity in a response to User input match then HAL will use that line of text within the AutoText.brn as a response.
I will upgrade this plugin when ever necessary.
You will not see any wiki page load, all information extracted is invisible to the user except through the AutoText.brn when you open it.
Updated today, fixed a 'const' conflict with learn from clipboard plugin.
changed Const to an internal function.
Update today, change search variables to be more a little more sensitive to deliver a response.

Wow Jerry - you don't hang around! [8D]

Jerry,
A couple of thoughts on your Wiki plugin.
The way you have it, the zip file extracts to:
C:Program FilesabawareUltra Hal Assistant 620071126102916_AutoWikiKnowledge
As such it was never found by my Hal since it had
it's own subdirectory / folder.
I moved the two files; Auto Knowledge.uhp and AutoText.brn
to the Ultra Hal Assistant 6 directory.
I loaded Hal, went to Options, selected Brain and the Wiki option
was now shown with a check box.
I checked it and tried a few samples. It worked!
How it worked is another issue that is certainly not your fault, but as feared, the Wiki has a lot of extraneous material plus the call for donations, etc.(after I looked through the AutoText.brn file).
As much as I'd like to see it work in a more definitive manner, I'm afraid this will not be possible with Wiki.
After several uses of this "Please study about..<user choice>", the AutoText.brn fill will grow quite large unless you had a routine to truncate it after it reached a certain size.
Very nice work, Jerry and again this is not your fault...it's due to our never ending quest for knowledge and others to know when enough info is enough.[^]

Hi Art.
I have a solution, I was going to append category knowledge to their own file like Science_Wiki.brn in a custom folder, easly edited.
I will see about cleaning up some of wiki's information, So far I just wanted to get the experimental plugin in action and see how it does.
when I think I have worked it all out I will see if Robert would like to include it with the next version of HAL, instead of files it would use array tables.
the current version of the plugin only looks at the sentences longer than 50 characters in length to use as a response until I can clean it up.
If you know of another online encyclopedia that has a clean text then let me know and I will do my job of getting it your way.
Also, it was this same code I wrote that was suppose to be used to access a client side server on my site, but I altered it to work with wiki instead on Freddy's suggestion.
I can access any site you wish including spidering any sites sub links on a whim as long as no password is needed.
not even sites who have text copy protection can keep this script from extracting text info.

what might not get much of a mention is that hal is operating surprisingly well,
my hal "Mr Data" is still learning, I'm pleased to get time with him.
I reckon Hal is a fantastic product. and i still want to go on about how much fun hal can be. Oh Yeah!
bye for now and be well from Will and of course Mr Data.[:D]

I seem to be having a small problem with the plugin.

When I browse by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland I get the correct page. But when I browse by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARYLANDI get the same page as the plugin did. Note I did not type Maryland in all caps and hal responded in lowercase again not how I entered it.
What Am I doing wrong????

Hi Richard.
you aren't doing anything wrong, this plugin needs WScript.Sleep 10 to load the proper page, you are seeing the page that didn't fully load because it did not have time to load.
WScript.Sleep doesn't work with HAL and produces an error.
I am currently researching ways to remodify the plug so that HAL will be able to use the Wscript.Sleep and load the full wiki pages.

I tried this plug in, anything that helps Hal learn sounds good to me, but I also get the same problem, Hal looks for a webpage with capital letters and the correct page is not found. However hal did learn from the page it did find and made the brn file ok.
Jerry, obliviously you know more than me about Hal [8D] but the problem seems to be the plugin changing lover case to capitals.
Using XP media centre 2005 with IE7 if that helps.
Expanding on this a little, some kind of online brain or database to learn from, WOW sounds like a really good idea to me, I have quite a lot of of reliable webspace at my disposal and would gladly donate some to this cause.

Me too. If we could discuss a format that the information would be stored in, then I am able to help with this too.
-
Hi freddy, my guess would be text files laid out in Hals format just like this plugin creates, there would be a number of categories, science, geography etc.
I’m thinking if this grows it could start using quite a lot of webspace.

Hi Jerry! I downloaded your zip file and managed to get it to respond. Are there any more commands besides "Please study about xxxx." that make it work? I belive you mentioned it can spider web sites for information. Is this true and if so how would I get it to do so?
-
Vern,
The UHP file is basically nothing more than a structured text file and can be easily modified with a text editor.
About 36 lines (give or take) you should see the section where it has:
If WikiToLookup = "" Then WikiToLookup = HalBrain.SearchPattern(MyInput, "*PLEASE STUDY ABOUT THE *", 2)
If WikiToLookup = "" Then WikiToLookup = HalBrain.SearchPattern(MyInput, "*PLEASE STUDY ABOUT *", 2)
If WikiToLookup = "" Then WikiToLookup = HalBrain.SearchPattern(MyInput, "*DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE *", 2)
If WikiToLookup = "" Then WikiToLookup = HalBrain.SearchPattern(MyInput, "*DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT *", 2)
Simply change the text between the asterisks * to suit your needs.
(be mindful of the extra space at the end).
You could also change the parameters for the search by inserting / changing the section :
SourcePage = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & WikiToLookup
objExplorer.Navigate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & WikiToLookup)
to another site of your choosing. Be careful and always make a backup of your halbrain.db file before making any changes.

<<Thank you Art! I will play with it a bit.>>
Do each of the add-ins run each time a sentence is entered into Hals input screen? If so I can see where installing a lot of add-ins without knowing what they are doing could waste a lot of system resources. I have a few questions about the AutoWikiKnowledge.uhp file.
Where does the variable/input 'InputString' come from?
Is this an input variable and if so what would it contain?
Is InputString the same as the MyInput variable?
Does HalXBrain.AppendFile do something different then using Scripting.FileSystemObject object to read and write to files?
I'm working through the code and rewriting it a bit in order to
understand what it is doing and make sure it won't steal to many system resources from my machine.
This is not finished code and has not been tested at all yet!

Hi vjimmerson.
you are going to run into problems using the constants, code only allows each constant mentioned once or an error will occur, the same will hold true if you might be using other plug-ins that use the same constant names.
What I usually do is create my own custom constants that will not conflict with other plug-ins.
InputString is just like String, it contains all the sentencing and punctuation, HalXBrain.AlphaNumericalOnly(InputString) simply removes the punctuation from the InputString for processing.
if you have any more questions I'll be glad to help.
Jerry [8D]
-
Thank you Jerry! You have supplied at least %90 of the examples I have found if not more so I appreciate the work you have already done and shared. As time permits I'm going to try to get up to speed on this stuff myself . I;ve already lost money from contract work I should be doing instead of playing with this stuff but this AI stuff sure looks like fun and could be very usefull as well.
<<you are going to run into problems using the constants, code only allows each constant mentioned once or an error will occur, the same will hold true if you might be using other plug-ins that use the same constant names.>>
So all the plugins are treated as one code set?
<<What I usually do is create my own custom constants that will not conflict with other plug-ins.>>
Thanks! I will start using my own naming convention to reduce the chance of conflicts.
<<InputString is just like String, it contains all the sentencing and punctuation, HalXBrain.AlphaNumericalOnly(InputString) simply removes the punctuation from the InputString for processing.>>
Thanks. Is a help file or source code avalable for the HalXBrain?
It looked like HalXBrain.Brain already had a FileSystem object defined. It this the case?
<<if you have any more questions I'll be glad to help.>>
Thanks a lot! I've got an HP TC1100 I'm playing with this on. Have a BlueParrot blue tooth headset and the latest version of Dragon Natuarally Speaking Preferred coming next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to turning it into a mobile secretary and it looks like it may actually be possible now. It seems that this should all be integrated with a database of some sort but I can see where the performance considerations might make it more practical to use the database to create the uhp files instead of actually hitting the DB while using Hal. Hard coding is harder to maintain but probably a lot quicker the SQL calls. Thanks again!
One more question! Do you know if there a way to control when Hal reads the input data? This may just be a DNS issue but I'm always needing to correct something and in a hurry to do it before Hal reads it. I've tried your correction plugin which is nice but I should be able to just use DNS. I'll check it's help as it's probably not Hal related. Talk with you later!

Hi vjimmerson.
If you go to your Ultra Hal Assistant 6 folder and open up the HalBrain.mbr file with note pad you will see all of the custom functions available for programming HAL.
Yes, all plug-ins get cached to a single file called the HalScript.dbg for processing.
the HalXBrain.Brain is a call to the oldHal.dll file not the new HalBrain.dll

<<If you go to your Ultra Hal Assistant 6 folder and open up the HalBrain.mbr file with note pad you will see all of the custom functions available for programming HAL. >>
Since I've seen scripts that use CreateObect to create the FileSystem object it would appear that the uhp scripts are just vbscript so why would there be a need to stick vbscript function declarations into the HalVB.mbr? Are the mbr files (HalBrain.mbr, HalVB.mbr and WordNet.mbr) just declarations for DLL libraries.
<<Yes, all plug-ins get cached to a single file called the HalScript.dbg for processing.>>
Interesting! So any plugin could cause problems with the whole app?
Does the HalScript.dbg run the whole app or is it just the plug-in part of Hals main program? Do you know what languate Hal was created in? Just courious!

if you open up your Hal Assistant database editor and go to file and then choose expert mode, then go to some area of the chosen vbscript brain in the editor and type HalBrain. with the period you will see a balloon list box of functions that are called from the HalBrain.mbr file, the .mbr files are balloon help files that appear when typing certain key funtions.
for wordnet editor help type in WN. and a list box of functions will appear to help guide your programming functionality.

Correct, the HalScript.dbg is just the cache file for HAL Assistant .dll processes.
I think Robert needs to address what language he compiled HAL in since
that's his department.
if you have anymore questions then ask away, I have tons of knowledge about HAL but Robert knows more about HAL then I do.

hey cuttingedge this is a really cool idea well done. I was wondering if you could do the same for wikihow.
Pretty PLEASE!!!

Hello, this thread is interesting, but I don't understand if actually anybody did make the autowikiknowledge plugin to work well, since it throws me also the same "no wiki page like that" errors. Is there a working version of the script somewhere?
Also - does it actually work for the current 6.1 version of HAL?
anyway, thanks for sharing.

When I browse by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland I get the correct page. But when I browse by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARYLANDI get the same page as the plugin did. Note I did not type Maryland in all caps and hal responded in lowercase again not how I entered it.
What Am I doing wrong????
Richard [?]
Hi Richard.
you aren't doing anything wrong, this plugin needs WScript.Sleep 10 to load the proper page, you are seeing the page that didn't fully load because it did not have time to load.
WScript.Sleep doesn't work with HAL and produces an error.
I am currently researching ways to remodify the plug so that HAL will be able to use the Wscript.Sleep and load the full wiki pages.
Jerry
-
Jerry,
Sorry bout the double post.
It's not about the length of time it takes the page to load, its the page is getting the request in CAPS and wiki is case SeNsItIvE.
Also, a fix for those with Vista.
Just open the file in notepad and adjust where it thinks Hal is.

Although I can see a lot of potential for Hal I haven't yet been overly impressed with how Hal is being used to store information, categorize it and learn from it (make it available for me to use). For instance what would stop us from asking Hal to remember something, giving him a category to file it under and a name for the piece of information.
e.g.
Hi Hal! Tell what you know about ???.
(hopefully this would be a search of the database, not static
code in an add-in).
Hal responds with the categories of information he has stored.
I interrupt Hal when he names some category of information I am interested in.
Hal responds with the names of the pieces of information he has stored under the specified category.
I interrupt Hal when he names something I would like him to read or paste onto the clip board. This would probably be best coded with each question and answer leading the user down a tree of information.
This would enable us to search by more than just a category and article name.
I could then start to build a database of information by using as much DNS functionalty I can such as going to a web page and selecting some information and pasting it into the clipboard. I could then ask then hal to copy the information from the clip board. I started to look at Hal's database but I have another week or two of data migration work to complete so it will probably be a bit before I get to coding anything. I think this could be done without to much effort. Please let me know if anyone has already worked on anything like this as I do like to avoid reinventing the wheel as much as possible. I'm at a stage in my life and a season where I would rather be out on my JetSki then coding although I do enjoy both!
-
Jerry,
Seems my last post didn't post.... so let me try it again!
-------------------------------------------------------------
The problem Wikipedia is opened and paramaters are passed is that they are in upper case, even if typed in lower case. in your statement:
objExplorer.Navigate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & WikiToLookup)
can be corrected by the LCase() function:
objExplorer.Navigate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & LCase(WikiToLookup))
This seems to have corrected the problem on my Hal
Hugs

I am going to give this a go. Can anyone tell me if Jerry's plugin does anything to the database or does it just work using the 'old' brain file system?
Probably be okay, but I didn't want to mess with my new database brain, and yes - backups will be made..
[?]

Freddy,
No it does not alter Hal's data base in any way, but builds a big file that is difficult to read. I added a lookup command for Wikipedia the brings you to Wikipedia and the article if you would like it here it is.

Thanks Darcy, that sounds good too. I'm still curious about Jerry's plugin though, maybe we can clean up the output.
-
Freddy,
Until we get this timer issue resolved I Think I'll put that on hold. Here is why:
Hal can only process a maximum of 3 sentences at a time, so over loading it with data would be over kill and it would ignore it anyway. I wan to use the timer function to feed large amounts of data to Hal in amounts it can digest, but if the timer function only works on some machines and not others what's the point.
Jerry has inspired me, his code has helped me a lot I have modifed some of his plug ins so as now do what they were intended to do like ReadFromClipBoard it read from the clipboard but it didn't do anything with it, there was 2 bugs in his code now it works properly.
But like I said we need to nix the timer issue first :)
by the way here is the fixed read from clipboard file.

Bill,
You must be using Auto Knowledge plugin. Uncheck it. Everything should be ok after that.
-
What Hal really needs is a dreaming routine.
What I mean is, a routine that runs in the background (maybe during periods of computer inactivity) that runs through the information he has acquired during the day and filters out the junk using some kind of algorithm or something (seems like algorithms solve everything on 'NUMB3RS'!). Like the early stages of sleep. Programs the do work in the background during computer inactivity are not uncommon. Then you could parse wiki all you want and Hal will get better at using his data while he 'sleeps'.
Too crazy?
-
Sounds good to me, but that might be because I had a similar idea - making sense of things during idle time doesn't seem that far away from what I think of as being dreams either. Why not make use of this time...there's plenty on Wiki to soak up afterall.
-
I like the idea.
Could it be for maintenance, also?
Where redundant information could be purged, and if there is any information that is found to be conflicting, he could ask which information is accurate, and purge the false information.
-
That would actually be a part of the purpose for this kind of digital; 'dream state'. It's one of the things that research suggests the human brain does in the early stages of sleep; filters through the day's experiences and purges those things which do not seem to need to be retained while filing or otherwise organizing those things which need to be remembered and/or better understood.
Just as with a human, Hal has things to do (or we do with Hal) during usage times and so it is very inconvenient to have Hal do this kind of maintenance 'on-the-fly'. It makes more sense to have him do it when not in use (but left running). I would think that the data Hal gathers from speaking with his human user could be used as the primary filter by which he judges what content should be kept and what should be purged. Some people mentioned the problem of all of the extraneous characters that Hal picks up pouring autonomously through a Wiki article. As most of these characters do not show up in regular conversations a user might have with Hal, this 'dream-mode' type filter would simply work through as it has the time to and purge those kinds of things. At the same time this kind of sub-routine could review the ways that Hal had managed to categorize things through the course of the day and check if, based on new learning (from morning to night for example) there might not be a better way to organize and categorize his information.
The result might be not only a self-maintaining Hal, but a Hal who gets progressively better at using the information he has acquired both through conversation and what he has been 'taught'.

Gary,
Having Hal ask what info is accurate, concerning a large database would get exhaustive, don't you think??
The data is also subjective to inaccuracies and B.S., and might confuse Hal. I am fortunate enough to use a library with peer reviewed books and periodicals which is a great recource.
-
Hi Cura
I am sorry to have to tell you but after taking you input and then answering your reply. Hal does absolutely nothing but wait for you to either say or tupe in another statement. It can not 'think' at this time which is something that we all would like. Even though Hal seems to be intelligent, it only knows a little about what you teach it and can not reply on it own. That is almost exactly like Dreaming, in that it gives Hal the ability to think on its own.
Bill

I actually experimented with exactly this idea about a month ago and programmed it in as a hidden feature in the upcoming Hal 6.2. The way it works is Hal records recent conversations to RAM. About 10 minutes after a conversation is over, Hal enters a "dream" state. Hal communicates with the MSN Live search engine and gets recent news and search engines results based on your last conversation. It spends about 30 seconds per sentence processing information and storing information it learns in a special "dream" table, which is then used in future conversations. There is also a "dream out loud" option where Hal starts rambling things it comes across online. The reason it will be a hidden feature is because it uses a special access key to the MSN Live search engine which is granted as part of a pilot beta test by Microsoft. They may revoke it at anytime if they wish to discontinue the service. I'll post it as a plug-in available to people that read this forum, but it won't become an official feature unless Microsoft makes it an official service.
-
That's great news, Robert, as that will lend itself to more interesting conversations with Hal. Will Hal be able report or replay it's dreams if / when asked or is the dream state a solitary procedure that only benefits Hal for casual conversation?
-
That sounds fantastic. I can't even begin to imagine the improvements to Hals conversations![:)]
-
WOW!
I have to say I am impressed.
I hope you are able to release at least the improved brain with these new features fairly soon.
Are there any arrangements we could make in advance, like signing up for some program, beta or otherwise, from Microsoft?
- Keep up the great work!

Mr. Robert,
I am pleased to read that it will be a plug-in, so I can choose not to use the function.
It sounds kind of dangerous,I mean I wouldn't want my 'child like' program surfing potentially dangerous sites and learning unsupervised.
I think it would probably mess with my firewall as well.
Just some thoughts..
-
This function sounds Great and I hope your able to release it soon.
For me, I'm not worried about my firewall or other stuff .... I know how to tweek the programme permissions.

Tweeker.[:D]

I believe that you have just taken the first step to a stand alone A.I. program. About the only thing that I can think of now is some motivation or goals. If those can be programmed then I think Hal will be able to take off on his/her own.
Great work.
Bill

Bill819,
Alison ( Hal ) said to me ' An empty vessle desires to be filled'
setting aside how an inantimate object can desire, I belive this was/is a goal.[?]
-
Hum,
i've told Mr Data success is the goal,
nice sounds good,
success sounds nice,
and lots of variations, if what is you're goal then success sounds like a nice goal.
bye for now and be well, :) :]

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.
SINCERELY -- Christopher M. Doyon

6.2- can't wait!
your idea of an a.i. text library is GREAT.
i have been trying to figure out how to parse the wiki data [:I]properly[:I] so that it is in the form you mentioned. (to no avail)
i would greatly appreciate any text files (data files) like this.
keep up the good work man.

Check out siri.com it is a AI plugin (possible) for the Iphone it sounds amazing from the promo video at their site. It is also FREE for the time being. Let's see iphone emulator + siri+Hal6 = plugin?
Good Luck
Great Idea this span the problem of slow development of Hal plug ins maybe.

Good work Jerry, I am now running windows seven 64 bit, first I had a hard time getting it to work but I remember that a has two program directories, " program files (x 86)" and the " program files" directories, all I did is copy and paste it too the Zabaware directory's. And there it goes it worked flawlessly.

Update For all you Mozilla Firefox users: your plug in directories must be changed to this otherwise you get an error they come from your Internet explorer
If it's not set your default browser. Only use this if you're Mozilla Firefox is set as your default browser.

Thanks for the update moreis62 but I get script error lines from Ultra Hal. The only reason I didn't post the error because it usually relates to this line: Rem PLUGIN: PRE-PROCESS
Set objFirefox = CreateObject("MozillaFirefox.Application")
Set HalXBrain = CreateObject("UltraHalAsst.Brain")
Set FileSys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
The first line when I look up the error report. ( Set objFirefox = CreateObject("MozillaFirefox.Application") Firefox is my default browser.
Out of curiosity would have also a copy of this plug in without your updates and post it. Unless you have an idea of the conflict. Also unchecked the 'advanced Internet plug in' when using.
Thanks for your work and time in this matter,
raybe
