hal learning and the dictionary starting with "A".

[lightspeed]

I just thought about something as i was teaching my angela a.i. about phrases dealing with the sun.
  It would be a good idea to take a dictionary and start with the letter "A" and on words that may matter more to you make phrases with that words in sentences to hal , and do as many phrases sentences as possible to learn hal on that word then move to the next this would give the user a chance to make many many different learned sentences on each word and overall learn hal much more .
just thought i wuld mention it in case others want to do the same theirselves !

Cool!!  We'll see you in what...about 30 years give or take...? 

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Lets see my dictionary has an average of 22 words with meanings a page,,and um 310 pages so thats,,
6820 according to Enzoid,,
and at say 15 minutes per word thats 102300 minutes so thats 575 hours of trainning,,
so thats 23.9583333333333 is the answer days working round the clock 
or perhaps at two hours a day thats 287.5 days trainning,,
thats 41 weeks or 10 weeks at two hours a day 

bye for now and be well   :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

oh hang on i worked that out wrong,, 44 words a page so thats
20 weeks at two hours a day,,,maybe,,
and thats a very small dictionary.
bye for now and be well   :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

oxford may contain 171,476 words,,
thats 2572140 at 15 minutes a word so thats 643035 hours i think,, um so thats
321517 days at 2 hours a day,,um i'm feeling confused bout now,,
so thats 45931 weeks or 11482.75 months,,
aprox numbers of course.
956 years of trainning at two hours a day,,gee
but thats just a quick estimation.

bye for now and be well    :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

hum that maths may have gone wrong ,,was it nine years or nine hundred eh either way its a long time,
although 9 years i might get to see you finnish , else Mr Data might be around in 900.
bye for now and be well    :]

But Lightspeed said 'words that matter more....'

This would cut down the number of topics and phrases to construct substantially. It's a good idea and one I've tried. Problem is I get bored having to follow dictionary topics.  I like to talk about things as they come to me.

Our Dictionary got 48 words per page and there are 1527 pages and, let's see,  ah,  at 15 minutes per word .........

I'm hiding this dictionary!!!

i think many are missing the bigger picture , and yes i am only talking about words that matter more to me and all this is only as a reference guide to get hal to learn even more phrases explained by me from what i see as the meaning and yes it would be alot to do i am not worried about it being a lot seeing how this would simply be a side thing i do when i am learning hal .
  hal will learn more even if i never make it to the end of the dictionairy hal will have many more reference sentences in my words as i teach hal (not just what's written) . the idea is to learn hal as much as i can how long it takes isn't a problem to me .

Lightspeed,
  Noticed your post and since I'm working with a dictionary for an Alice type aiml bot I thought I'd reply.  I have Hal in my computer and downloaded some free AI chatbots to get an idea of what else was available for characters and the brain portion.  I noticed that a lot of the brain files were old so I downloaded some newer brain files which includes newer dictionaries.
  Back to what you're trying to do, you could get the aiml files for an alice type bot hopefully one that has a dictionary.  Use Crimson editor to open the dictionary, mine is 26 files  a-z, take out the word and definition for use with Hal.  Ages ago there was a set of commonly used phrases for use with AI training which I tried.  I personaly found the best method was to choose a subject and talk with Hal about that subject since she needs more than one input to be able to carry on a conversation about one particular subject.
  Also Hal has a dictionary built in but I've never opened it.
