Ultra Hal 7.0 / Teaching HAL and using commands
« on: August 22, 2004, 03:15:52 am »
Thank you ART,

Your info is of great help...

I made some IF THEN statements and watched as a new deductive.BRN file was created and modified.  This helps me to understand how HAL learns.

Yes, I had noticed that if I made a statement of fact saying something IS, then HAL would quote it back...This is the sort of thing I am looking for..  Any more of these type of (instructions) KEY word/combinations would be helpful.

I also noticed that certain words that I used were being created and associations subsequently being created.  The how and why I am still unsure about but I am getting the idea...

Yes, the TRASH issue I have seen when what say into the mic comes out as junk and HAL subsequently goes OFF topic or makes a false response.  I would like to know if there was something at that point that I could say to reverse it in preference to editing all those brn files..  eg:  "cancel that last statement" or "trash that"

In regards to importing info from a text file.  Should it simply contain statement/sentences line by line or can it actually be a transcript straight out of book written in paragraphs. I created a short one with 5 sentences about me but I couldn't find where it ended up in the brain files if anywhere..

Great, so there is a file we can edit to modify the open command..
Which one... I have been telling HAL to "open Microsoft Outlook" like you I'd prefer to keep it short and say "open outlook" and not get Express..

I had a look at the brain editor...  too much for me at this point and yes, I agree screwing around in there is probably asking for trouble.  I also came across a few of the scripts you talk about, eg: the age one, and followed the instructions and it worked well..  small stuff like that I can handle at this point.

I am happy to muddle along with voice training and it is definetly getting better each day but I can't help but feel if we could train specific voice commands and individual words then accuracy could be improved a lot faster.  

I do agree with you that voice recognition it is pretty impressive as it stands right now.  I am only on my 4th time round on those 8 training pieces and already the HAL interface gets a lot of it correct...  It's just that ability to take it back when it's wrong that concerns me.

Again, thanks for your advises...  appreciated !!!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Teaching HAL and using commands

Hi,

HAL is new to me and so far so good.  I have read many articles from within this forum and still cannot find an answer to some of the basics required in teaching HAL.

Q.  Are there any commands that can be used from within the chatting area to directly teach something to HAL.  I am seeing that persistence in conversation is paying off, however is there someway of "confirming" that a response to a statement or series of statements is accurate and therefore LOCKING it into the brain.

What I call a command would be like the use of the word "open something" and Hal then proceeds to open/run a program..  BTW, for some reason "open word" runs zdnet.exe, i have to actually say "open microsoft word" to get Word to run --  Can this be edited somewhere???  Can I enter in a list of open commands that mean something to me and my machine??

I am simply trying to create a set of standard commands that i can use to instruct hal to do something for me.  I also want to better improve the speech recognition for these commands so I can TELL hal what i want..  I have been through the voice training many times but the accuracy is still not good enough for two or three word commands etc...  how can i introduce my own training scripts...  where are the training txt files located... can any more be added to the training?

I purchased the Ultra Hal assistant.  I am also using the XTF brain and running it on a Windows XP machine...

Regards
Mark
