Yes, there are not yet any systematic hands-on tutorials, sorry... OpenCog is not just a toolkit or framework. However, it can certainly be used that way, and has profitably been used that way sometimes.
If you look at "Engineering General Intelligence", especially volume 2, you will find a comprehensive cognitive architecture aimed at human-level AGI. The current OpenCog system implements parts of this design, and also includes some other stuff.... However, the whole integrated design as described in that book is not yet ready and usable... only some pieces are there.... So for now, you can use those existing pieces for something, or you can work on trying to complete that whole design .. or you can add new stuff out of your own head ;) ... In the overall cognitive architecture, PLN can be used in many ways... it can be used to help figure out how to achieve system goals, but also for many other kinds of inference... If you want to work on using OPenCog to control an autonomous agent, then one option is to join our effort to make OpenCog control the Hanson Robot heads (and the avatar model thereof that exists in Blender) .... This is the only current initiative to try to use OpenCog as an integrated cognitive architecture rather than a toolkit/framework.. -- Ben G On Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 9:11 PM, Apil Tamang <[email protected]> wrote: > Been reading through the PLN book, largely because I really couldn't get > hands-on on any examples or tutorials exploring various concepts of opencog > in a more streamlined way.
