Ultra Hal 7.0 / NewB questions
« on: July 25, 2012, 06:02:17 pm »
My first statement to HAL was: Today is Tuesday.
Of course HAL already knew the current date, but that's not how he read me.
He used his scheduling rules to remind me on the following Tuesday that that day was 'today'!
Although HAL is good at chatting, that hides much of his true understanding.
Is there a brain with all the clever responses removed? Does it do much other than echo the
dictionary?
As a chat-bot, evolved from ELIZA, HAL stores facts as narratives. My own experiments
break the input into morphemes, and store facts as relations under each subject. This
removes much of the repetition of determiners and adjectives from memory.
I suppose that inference can be made to work by matching keywords, but I find the morpheme/
sememe storage conducive to realistic understanding, for answering 'what happened', 'what do
you know', 'what did you do', etc.
Thanks for listening; I am impressed by HAL but want a tool for exploring the algebra of grammar,
which has hidden aspects like trust, actuality, physicality, sequence... Can HAL differentiate the
temporal 'it' from the non-temporal 'it'?
