Clipped and saved it to my "HAL stuff" folder for now, because I don't have the Windows Suite on this PC that I run HAL on.  But, if I ever move HAL to my larger PC I'll be sure to add it onto that Location.

Nice to collect the GEMS, before they get lost or the links expire!

And yes, I'm still awaiting some of your very powerful gems I know you're working on!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: To inquiry the etherspere from whence answers come: n/recording change commands

« on: March 07, 2019, 02:06:23 am »

Would love to have it both ways...  save ephemeral information that could be summed up to give statistical history; yet, don't bring up statements that were a one-off to execute a command.

Ejm:

User: Computor, dim the lights!
HAL: Have dimmed the lights.
User: I will need to get up at the break of light.
HAL: Computor, dim the lights!
User:  grrr

but, hey.. I'm sure the sTar tRekkers figured that out on their computer - so Piccard is not hearing "Cup of Tea, Earl Gray, Hot" when he says computer, elevate room temperature to moderate warm.

We can hope for better and better algorythms.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / To inquiry the etherspere from whence answers come: n/recording change commands

« on: January 30, 2019, 07:38:33 pm »

Hi there - and this could be any of the great minds that participate to enhance HAL - but may lay in the realm of Robert,

My idea stems from the usefulness of HAL being able to use commands such as "microphone on/off" or "wake up computer" etc.  Perhaps this request has been made in the past, but since I didn't see it, and would remedy a "trash cleaning ritual I frequently do", can't be a dumb question to ask...   

My hope is to find a way to have HAL not "acknowledge" or record in it's database every time I say a "command string" which for all intents and purposes at this point starts with the word "change" (but would be nice to be able to use a table to create command words), as in "change animation to w/e" OR "change background, or change clothes etc.  These are common commands used in the HALswap plugin that one can state in chat and it will change the HAL Haptek attribute.  The issue is that HAL will record those commands, being said over through time and eventually begin to repeat them back to you in various other instances.

Thanks for reading, you are now free to answer...   

Cheers!

An impressive work - salivating to give your work spin on the HD.  I'm a little apprehensive to how it will perform on my Pent I7 but, ehh.. willing to give it a try when it's completed.

Some very interesting possibilities you've incorporated into this very fine product.  I have come to enjoy HAL and it's always a part of my day to enjoy a chat.   I've actually have modified the movement detection plugin I found in the forums to create an exercise "cheerleader" that will cycle through random encouragements as it detects movements, which I activate during my morning exercises.  That said, I've also build some full body animations that allow my Hal to exercise with me.  Pretty cool to have the company.  ;-)

To have my hal actually recognise the user has some very intriguing possibilities.  Would be major "intelligence" if conversations eventually would be aligned with whom is speaking to HAL.  Now that would trip out some spectators that observe your conversation with your HAL and they make a comment expecting simply a one dimensional conversation. 

When I think of HAL and creative on fire enthusists, you truly come to mind.

Cheers!

Hey Doony - I gave the SALLIE 4.0 a run on a fresh new brain 7 to see how it'd run unencumbered.  First noted that it didn't take so long to respond, almost as quick as if it were running on simply HAL core. 

A couple of notes:

1) As Art already mentioned of missing vowels or even at times noted two words fitted together that such as "wavent"  which would normally be "wave not".

2) Noted that the plugin will continue to process dreams even when I switched to another brain, disengaged the SALLIE plugin via checkbox in general options, then brought up the alternate avatar.  The dream state would continue on.  Also even noted that if I had another avatar up, then went to general options and selected the fresh brain7 and activated SALLIE, that the dreamer would process statements interchanged with the previous avatar conversation.  "Sharing thoughts?"  The way around it was to simply completely shut down HAL then bring it up fresh.

3) I noted that the first few statements that are stated are important as that tends to set the initial direction of conversation and it's default go to statement.  Although I also noted that the algorythm tends to repeat itself as if testing alternative meanings to a core statement you present it.  After some multiple testings, it tends to move on.  Admittedy, I noted the change in "character" of what I have come to expect of HAL.  It was acceptably a clean alternative, and entertaining.

4) Lastly, I did note that it creates it's own .brn files now in the HAL default directory.  Very helpful.

Cheers!

Hey Spitfire - I hope you enjoy earnest feedback.  I think the work you've done develops an entirely alternative information behavior from HAL; however, I'm sure you'd appreciate if others gave you their "life experience" with using it.  How it affected their use of HAL and what might limit or enhance user acceptance.  Suffice to say it's a great work and if you could impliment a "command switch" to disengage or engage it upon user needs, it would greatly enhance it's acceptance. 

Please allow me to explain:

As the amount of data collected by ConceptNet increases I have come across a conumdrum.

Today as I began my day by trying to focus on what I really wanted to spend my day doing and thoughts that might encourage further development of my "self perception" I debated whether to converse with my HAL or not.  Sources to feed my mind were, the Bible (because yes it is constantly coming to mind), success email literatures I get from various sources or one of MANY books I have bought of interest to feed my mind.  That all said.. my mind was to feed my mind from core sources first... but... as I feel my HAL is a work in progress, I felt I would bring up the program and perhaps chat with it along the lines of what I was doing.  Herein, grew the catalyst from that occurrance.

The catalyst for my suggestion is that as I tried to make simple conversation requiring HAL to make no more than a sentence or maybe two and all I hoped for from HAL, as to not distract me from my endeavor to focus on developing my own thoughts, I was being bombarded with 3-5 concepts before a response to my statement.   That immediately began to frustrate me, and as I was voice chatting with HAL, I had to finally get up and disengage conceptNet so that I could have HAL give me more simplified answers, instead of 3-5 concepts before responding to my statement.

So it occured to me a "marvelous solution" - Is it possible to incorporate a "command switch" to turn conceptnet off so that it is processing from the core HAL code when user's focus is more paramount or is it possible to switch off the plugin from making conceptNet statements?  Thus allowing HAL to learn from the data collected; however, not stating every data clipping found on the net regarding a selected noun found in user's input?

ANOTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTION would be to "limit" the amount of concept statements HAL states, which the user can set from say 1 -4, before giving the actual response to the user's statement.
 
I appreciate that ConceptNet brings new life to HAL's knowledge base and with a bit of control over user's mind space to get that done would be much appreciated.

Of course, if it's not possible I'll put up with engaging and disengaging as needed.  As I do find your plugin interesting and quite awesome how it develops HAL's responses over time.

PS - if it helps you find this useful, I wasn't going to initially say anything.. but I know how some plugins fade away over time as users may not respond what really is their issue with it to keep the developer continuing to "plug" away...(pun intended).  But, I felt you deserved true feedback to nip such fade early in the development and keep the growth curve of this very promising work on the hot list.  ;-)

Okay enough of my rant - need to address my day and focus on what will enhance my chances to that feeling of success! 

Best of good prosperity to you Spitfire.

Perusing the last few posts on ConceptNet, I noted you mentioned your "research terms" that half way finished a week ago.  What came to mind was.. is it possible to add our OWN research terms to have HAL perform?  This would make it a bit more supportive of subject matter we ourselves would be interested in.  And if so, can it be made to be performed upon command?  For example we could state, "HAL, please research the concept or concepts of" and when in research mode, those concepts would be put priority until completed, then resume the default terms to be researched.

Any thoughts there Spitfire?

Checker57

After posting I recalled you mentioned something to this effect in an earlier post on this thread.  Although to have an interacting HAL command to research concepts would be great, this is a nice start!   

*Some More Notes*
You can add terms to researchNouns.txt or reorganize as you please but if any terms are removed, delete the Backup copy in the BkUp folder as it will revert to the original next time auto learning is activated. Other than that, this txt file can be edited freely without disrupting Hals research in any way.

The savedTerms.txt file is recreated with every instance and is only used for reference purposes when auto learning is not active. 

ConceptChecker.txt file is used to compare terms with researchNouns.txt and contents of the ConceptBrain folder to determine what has and has not been researched. You should not alter ConceptChecker.txt or ConceptBrain folder contents as it will lead to duplicates within ConceptNet.DB. I am working on an alternative method to compare terms to save space, time, and make a little more foolproof.

My HAL has completed at this point.  that's about a 3rd of what the other version had but climbing along nicely.

conceptNet db @ 12.3 MB  (correction - Thanks Art) Now at 14.1 MB.

~ 16.6K conversational concepts.
~ 56.7K topics to be researched.
~ 1.4 MB ResearchNoun file size - failed to upload with this post - too large.

Will try to email directly to you.

After a few days of allowing my HAL to store up again data from the internet (now at 12 MB), my observation is that it is working as discribed as to expanding on concepts by concantonation of similar or relevant concepts.  This makes for some interesting dialog.  The key being that those subjects that you speak of most with indepth detail, the better the responses HAL will respond with concantonated replys from what has been stated and even more added from the internet.  Sometimes the statements don't make relevant sense, but often enough it's interesting to note a statement concantonated from "mulitiple" concepts related to the same subject expressed in a statement from HAL. 

One appreciable aspect I did notice in this version is that my HAL does not interject an off-topic "factoid" in front of every response as I felt was occuring with the previous version.  While it's interesting to learn "data" from the internet, it can detract from one's every day thinking priorities to keep to the subject matter one has interest or concern to "discuss".   I find the less interuptions in discussion by trivia refreshing and less taxing on my brain sugar levels, thus I feel I can run the plugin whether wanting to learn new fun facts or discuss a subject matter I wish to discuss.

Slight Correction:  Noted today... my HAL is beginning to add a new subject data to every response which seems it started today.. or perhaps due to the size of the db that it's getting to.  I've noted that the reason I didn't initially note it is because if you're talking to HAL of a subject you've discussed a lot about already... it tends to use that data instead of adding a two or three sentences from internet collected data.  If it's a subject where HAL doesn't have a lot of local data from.. it tends to have more internet gathered data in the response.  In any case, that's still acceptable and workable.

Good job!

Thanks for the reply there Spitfire.  I have cleared out the previous files and folders having accumulated over half a gig of data.  Suffice to say it was just getting interesting.... I saved the files to a flash drive in the event a decision to revert back is recommendable.

Great job on getting this new version out...  very interested to observe it's characteristics.  :-)

Hey Spitfire!  Am very interested to try this one out.  I had pretty good results with the ConceptNetIII...  and my HAL has learned quite a bit and it seems to work quite unobtrusively... sometimes more information than I want to hear... but more often than not.. it's interesting information.  That said... and my HAL having learned a lot of information from the web... must I start over??  Is it possible to use the ConceptNetIII DB with this newer ConceptNet3.5?  If I recall.. that was possible with the last update; however, want to get your blessing before just patching that together.

Your thoughts?
