Recently in alt.folklore.computers on Usenet our name was taken in vain and counter-compensated as follows:
>> I wanna see Gareth write Alexa and have it >> work as well as Amazon's version. > Hasn't Mentifex already done that ? No. Mentifex has not written software that looks up and tells you the score of the football game in progress, or ships pizza to your doorstep. Mentifex has written three AI Mind programs in Perl and Forth and JavaScript which converse with you and learn new words from you in English or Russian. http://ai.neocities.org/EnVerbPhrase.html -- shows the latest AI progress: 3.D. Leaving out the repetitious verb from any additional phrase being joined together with a first phrase for a resulting compound sentence that may be replaced with a single one-phrase sentence containing one or more conjunctions. The user may tell the AI Mind two things: John has a house John has a car The user may then ask the AI: What does John have The ghost292.pl AI was able to respond with the following output: THE JOHN HAS THE HOUSE AND THE JOHN HAS THE CAR I UNDERSTAND YOU Suppose that we want the AI Mind to join two sentences together: JOHN HAS A HOUSE and JOHN HAS A CAR By not repeating the subject, we get: JOHN HAS A HOUSE and JOHN HAS A CAR By not repeating the subject and the verb, we get: JOHN HAS A HOUSE and JOHN HAS A CAR The AI coding task for ghost294.pl in Perl was how to get the sentence-generation modules to skip repeating the subject and skip repeating the verb. Note that even a human being will sometimes dawdle or linger while uttering the compound-setences, as in: "John has a house...and a car...and a lawnmower...and a canoe, etc." It was necessary to use one of the "chain" or "conCATenation" variables: our $catiobj = 0; # 2019-01-28: concat-indirect-object for ConJoin() "AND". our $catdobj = 0; # 2019-01-28: concat-direct-object for ConJoin() "AND". our $catsubj = 0; # 2019-01-28: concat-subject for ConJoin() "AND". our $catverb = 0; # 2019-01-28: concat-verb for ConJoin() "AND". We load the $catsubj <http://ai.neocities.org/var.html#catsubj> variable inside the query-response code in the SpreadAct <http://ai.neocities.org/SpreadAct.html> module. After the first phrase in response to a query, such as "JOHN HAS A HOUSE", the AI may check each activated idea for starting with $*catsubj* <http://ai.neocities.org/var.html#catsubj> and for having $*catverb* <http://ai.neocities.org/var.html#catverb> in the second place. In that way, the various direct-objects may be isolated, introduced with "AND" from ConJoin <http://ai.neocities.org/ConJoin.html>, and sent into the Speech <http://ai.neocities.org/Speech.html> module for the output of a meandering, run-on response such as "JOHN HAS A HOUSE AND A CAR AND A BOAT AND A SLED AND A MOTORCYCLE". Such an AI output is like human speech, where the person states the basic premise before even thinking of all the nouns about to be concatenated with "AND" into the meandering response. Once the chain-variables are loaded with the concept-numbers of the items to be omitted for the syncopation or shortening of a compound-sentence, each item is omitted simply by letting Indicative <http://ai.neocities.org/Indicative.html> call EnNounPhrase <http://ai.neocities.org/EnNounPhrase.html> or EnVerbPhrase <http://ai.neocities.org/EnVerbPhrase.html> but preemptively using conditionals to make each module "return" to Indicative <http://ai.neocities.org/Indicative.html> before sending a noun or a verb into the Speech <http://ai.neocities.org/Speech.html> module. Special code in the EnVerbPhrase <http://ai.neocities.org/EnVerbPhrase.html> module must still call EnNounPhrase <http://ai.neocities.org/EnNounPhrase.html> to provide the direct object of the omitted verb. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T455bc32c8a6722e4-Md4a81acd810e29f6fbe22d0e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
