Mike, I'm beginning now to tear out my previous naive construction grammar code and plug in incremental FCG. When that is finished, maybe by month end, I'll begin tediously hand-crafting the constructions, and procedures, to support minimal dialog. Then I'll get the dialog system interfaced with my Jabber client and off we go. I can use either Google Chat or Jabber.org as the scalable chat server and Texai will run as a Jabber client on my scalable, cheap Linux cluster. Thanks for asking to participate!

I was also cynically suggesting that it would be difficult to teach the majority of existing human brains how to use Controlled English - and you wouldn't have to build them first. If you have a semi-working prototype at some point, please email me an invitation - I am very interested in such a dialog. :) ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
