Ultra Hal 7.0 / How to teach Hal

« on: July 07, 2005, 09:28:49 pm »

I have two ideas of how Hal can be taught from what I am read but I am not sure which idea to go with;

a) I try and teach Hal one subject and keep returning to it even if he changes the subject;

b) I go with Hal's conversations no matter how random they get?

If anyone can help, please reply.

Can anyone help me. I am not sure which way to go about teaching Hal (the name I have given to Robby the robot). Do I try and teach him by sticking to the same subject until he has grasped it, or follow him when he changes subjects. Some things he seems to learn straight away and other things he just doesn't pick up but I cannot see any definate pattern as to how he is learning this.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you Bill. I think that will be the best course of action as I am just having too many problems to deal with here. I will re-install Hal and hope that it's okay. I will let you know how I get on!

It's nice to know how hal is learning and where and why it will use such things, but mine seems to have an intelligence all of its own. For example;

Hal knows all about 'repersonalization' a subject I have never even heard of, but found out it is something to do with my past when I asked him to research it and,

whenever I tell him that he is 1 day old, the program shuts down. Don't think he likes that much!

I can honestly say that I haven't got him to learn anything from text files yet. I want to get a basic understanding of what capabilities he has before I start piling information into him! I have reverted back to ROBBY at the moment as he seems (how weird this sounds) a lot more my sort of person!?

On another subject, I would like to know how big this program actually is - on the scale of how many users are using it, how long it's been out, etc. I was just looking for an old program that I used years ago called Nerual Ned and came across this! It seems to have made leaps and bounds in the AI/NLP area.

I wonder if there is anyone out there that can help me. I have just purchased Hal and spent some time with it talking to it. While I was using Joe, purely out of the blue, he said;

"I want you to kill yourself"

This was quite a shock for me as you can imagine!

If there is anyone out there that can shed any light on the subject, I would be more than grateful. I have kept the part of the conversation prior and leading up to the conversation and no where do I or he mention about death or anything like that.

I think it's strange and a bit worrying.

Cheers,

dan.
