Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Getting Hal to Respond appropriately (topic focus)
« on: December 11, 2002, 11:56:45 pm »
Hello,
I have several questions
I am having some trouble getting my edited Hal brain files to respond appropriately to statements I make, with newly created topic focus key words. That is, it seems to file the words I type to it in it's unknown word folder despite the fact that I have programmed them into that list (topic focus list), and makes a generic response trying it's best to properly incorporate the word (as if it didn't know the word). Even when repeating the question or using the key words in a different order I cannot seem to get it to reply with the response I supplied for it. Are there any ways to prioritize a particular topic focus?
Also what is the priority of the answers in the Topic focus list as compared to the answers in the "question and answer brain"?
I am curious what happens if I program in words it already knows and has a different response for somewhere else, will it use my provided answer or a different one?
Finally, I notice that the brain editor already has a large number of programmed responses in it's main knowledge database, is there a way to start with a fresh one, without any programmed responses?
Wow, I think that's it.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. Currently I am running the free version, I'm not sure if that matters...
P.P.S. Recently when I have been asking it questions with new key words it (in the brain editors run function) the program has been crashing (it just closes down. Has anyone else experienced this? I am running Windows XP
