Is the webscraper folder from the zip files located in your Hal Directory? Is your Hal Directory location defined properly in the UHP? Did Hal create the Sentence table mentioned in my first post?

I asked "how old does a red tree grow to be" which was one of your questions and I did get a response back from Wikipedia "For the wealthy, the dye used was kermes, made from a tiny scale insect which fed on the branches and leaves of the oak tree."

Plug-ins I have tried for compatibility with no issues. VRFreewill, Markov, ConceptNet, SmartAlarm.

General Discussion / Changing Character Color

« on: March 26, 2018, 10:52:43 pm »

I was wondering it's possible to change color of Characters, I really like the audio wave but the blue doesn't match my color scheme. I was looking to make it red or yellow. I have no idea if this is possible.

lightspeed,
My original post basically sums up what this plug-in does.

This plug-in will take a question such as "What is the population of Arizona?"

Break it into its constituents like a keyword and first or second nouns, so "Population" is the first noun, "Arizona" is the second noun.
 
It will then start a chain protocol to determine the correct answer is found. All answers come from Wikipedia. So first it will search "Population" for the term "Arizona" if no answer is found, it will continue, breaking the sentence apart further the more complex the question is. For this question, the protocol should stop at searching "Arizona" for any reference to "Population." It is generally fairly effective.

Toward the end of the protocol, the code will invert keywords, grab synonyms of all terms, and grab related wiki article terms if no answer is found.

Sometimes Hal will hang, giving a message like "Application is busy" or something like that.... Just let it go, Hal is still searching, it's just that time timeout code is very short. Hal is perfectly fine, just busy. On fast computers, Hal shouldn't take longer than 20-30 seconds to find something for any general question.

If Hal can't find an answer, simply rephrase or change terms. I am working on this in future releases if everyone can confirm this prototype does work.

Error -214Something is an Internet Explorer issue.  This is likely a conflict with another plugin.

There is no need for punctuation. The webscraper will remove these. Just make sure that the Webscraper folder from the zip file is in your Hal Directory as well and it should be good to go with this new update.

Ah yes, I see. I forgot to set FSO.

I have corrected this error and it should be good to use now. Thanks!

GPU accelerated SQL searches would be a great addition. No idea on the feasibility of this.

I have considered this previously. I believe the limitation is VBScript/SQL linking as it can only use 1 core. I could be totally wrong about that though or something may have changed since I last googled it.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Intelligent Webscraper MRK I (Prototype)

Hello everyone again,

After the catastrophic debut of my ConceptNetMRKIII plugin (which I've got an update for to clean up yet) I have written a plugin based on ConceptNet to scrape Wikipedia for acceptable related answers. Simply ask a question and Hal will run 1 of 37 protocols based on keywords, 1st nouns, secondary nouns, related nouns, related wiki topics, and alternate phrasing. It's still a little hit and miss, about 60-70% accurate as of now with questions like "What is Nevada's population" or "Does Atlantis exist"


Installation:

Drag and drop all contents of zip to Hal's Directory, which should be in "Program files (x86)/Zabaware/Ultra Hal 7/" Other wise you'll have to change it in the UHP on line 20.
You may need to create a sentence table in Hals brain named "webscrape" if Hal doesn't, but he really should.



And done! Feel free to improve, I have a couple of things I am also going to add into this just to enhance the search. A file called WebScrape8.txt will appear in your WebScraper Folder. This is for debugging which terms were searched. Each number corresponds with a term protocol in the code from lines 1734 and 2551 ("m working on simplifying this series of processes)



Additional weird notes I'm apparently not smart enough to figure out:

I thought I had every combination of term, but clearly I'm missing something because this does miss some very obvious questions sometimes. Feel free to take a look.

Sometimes looking at "Webscrape8.txt" Hal will research terms twice together, "Chicken Chicken 17." I'm not sure why. This shouldn't be allowed but Hal's going to do it anyway. I may have added too many protocols at once, call me ambitious.



I believe with some work, Robert and Hal could really make use of this and ConceptNet together (Not mine, MIT's)

This is intended for CPU's with a higher Ghz +2.8 to really not take forever to find information.

Speech Technology / Re: HAL ERROR 3-16-2018

The Error -214something is internet explorer trying to close itself when the first instance has already been closed. Windows 10 usually closes out unused background processes, IE being one of them. You can fix it by deleting the line that closes internet explorer and replacing it with

      browser = "iexplore.exe"
      qry = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name='" & browser & "'"
      If qry <> "" Then
         For Each p In wmi.ExecQuery(qry)
           p.Terminate
         Next
                End If


I have used this method in my ConceptNet plugin, which accesses multiple instances of IE and closes them all simultaneously, with greater success than "IE.Close"

Another feature I would love see is the ability to interrupt Hal with speech recognition. Right now, when Hal speaks, the Microphone turns off. I would like an option to leave it on. I don't know if this is something that could be accomplished through the registry similar to how the delay in recognition speed works.

For something like this, Hal would need a religion filter for the user. The user would identify a religion and Hal would stick to those responses, much like the gender plugin. This way you won't receive responses that aren't related to your religion.

It would probably have to be a cloud based filter, although I'm sure someone could make a plugin to make hal keep calling responses until he finds an appropriate answer on the users end, this way we won't have to flag cloud responses that maybe relevant for someone else. 

I actually removed all religious references, detections, codes and blocked learning on my hal, just to prevent any confusion within hals tables. Simply removing the "godDetect" code and table from Hal7.uhp and db prevents most religious responses on local copies of hal.

Carl2,

That's not how Hal works. You have to train Hal. Be aware, the cloud responses have nothing to do with your Hal and are not saved.
