I have heard about Eva chatbot. So - the question is - are there some ongoing efforts to build BDI (Belief-Desires-Intentions and maybe + synthetic emtions) agent in OpenCog? There are MindAgents and several other agents but I guess that those "agents" are specialised maintenance threads that updates PLN probability, recency and importance values and those MindAgents are not BDI agents.
My domain problem is code generation from the norms and commonsense knoweldge. And I see that I need two approaches for solving this: 1)* inference control is the narrow approach* - which premises to select for inference, which proof startegy to choose (in terms of Coq or Isabelle/HOL proof assitants) and so on. Inference control is more or less about small step inference. 2) activity of BDI agent: I need to formulate goals of my code generation and I need to ignite agent process that inferes subgoals for my goals, and further that decomposes those subgoals in activities and that in turn executes activities, monitors how the subgoals and goals are achieved and takes appropriate corrective actions. Appartenly - this is* large step inference control*. As far as I understand the state of the art, then BDI agents (or autonomous agents in general) are the processes what exactly do such kind of work - selects goals, subgoals, activities and executes them. So - it is crucial to have BDI agent. I have (very small, but growing, including automatically from the natural language texts) knowledge base in OpenCog but I need agent activities that make directed inference and creates desired artifacts.* So - are there implementation of BDI agents in OpenCog or maybe there are external BDI agents that can process the OpenCog.* There are two interesting points additionaly: 1) as far as I have checked other cognitive architectures then my guess that building the agent is their primary goal, i.e. these platforms are made in the form of agents. 2) of course, there is ongoing debate - should be build seed of AGI (e.g. in the form of OpenCog BDI agent) or can we wait that OpenCog knowledge base grows so large, sophisticated and fine that BDI agent (and very capable one) emerges from it. So - there is no need for seed. This may partially explain the situation if there is no ready BDI agent in OpenCog. *However - I feel that some agent there should be - how Eva chatbot can work if it is not agent? * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
