Ultra Hal 7.0 / Any suggestions for Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0?

« on: May 10, 2003, 11:26:23 am »

hi,
i have some ideas for hal 5.0:
- implementing semantic relations between word, e.g. hyponyms, hyperynmys, synonyms, meronyms, antonyms. this could be done by the use of WordNet.
- implementing certain conversational principles, e.g. utterances must be conistent, informative, relevant etc.. . human speech seems to follow (most of the time) this principles, so if hal could do the same, it would be more natural-language-like.
hope this helps!

hi don,
i have read all your comments in the forum and i found a lot of useful information. i also checked the .uhpt-file in HALS brain. but there is nothing said about the parsing. is the code for the parsing in the brain or somewhere else in the program? is it right that the brain is written in vbs and the rest of the programm in vb?
regards + thanks

hi don,
thanks for your reply. well, thats souns pretty good what you have written about hal. the problem is that i couldn't open the link, where you got the informations from. do you know further references about hal (technical report, thesis, papers etc.). i need as much information as possible about hal on the syntax, semantic and pragmatic level.
thanks[]

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / syntax and semantics

« on: February 17, 2003, 01:53:41 pm »

i am wondering how hall deals with syntax. is there a pattern matching like eliza? how does the syntax differ from other chatbots syntax?--
about semantics: what semantic capabilities does he (she?) have? how does he react to negated answers and what about pronoun resolution?
