That interface is a mostly broken experimental scaffolding where ... somethings work and most things don't. I don't think its maintained; I was probably the last person to mess with it, maybe 6 months ago. I still have plans to do stuff with it, but that's just me and my personal plans.
Meanwhile, there are several other chatbot interfaces maintained by various people. Not sure where they are, what the status is, or who is doing what. Man Han has been working on "ghost" but don't know if that can be demoed or not. This dialog segment: Tom eats apples. What does Tom eat? is a typical question-answering system. We used to have one of those, about 8 years ago, and it mostly worked... it probably could have answered your questions. It was abandoned because of multiple reasons, some technical, some political. You can look at that old code here: https://github.com/opencog/opencog/tree/master/opencog/nlp/chatbot-old/chatbot That old code is not worth reviving, however, the lessons learned there were very very useful (to me) and helped clarify various core issues surrounding knowleege, common sense and learning. I cannot transmit those lessons to you quickly and easily, (but I can transmit them, with effort). Short answer: its not hard to create question-answering systems. But that's not where the action is. On the other hand, we (someone) really should get the basic question-answering scaffolding working again, on opencog. Its a shame that it was allowed to bit-rot. --linas On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 4:56 AM, Pavel Savyuk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > I'm trying to use the chatbot (in nlp/chatbot), using the sample dialog > provided on the GitHub page for it, and I seem to not be receiving replies. > Specifically: > > - Whenever I make a Declarative SpeechAct, I get a confirmation (I > assume this is normal behavior) > - Whenever I make an Interrogative SpeechAct, I get a list of > everything I said as an array (sometimes the reply is instant, sometimes > it's delayed by several seconds with CPU usage spiking, so I assume > something is going on...) > - Whenever I make a Truth Query, I get "I can't process Truth Query > for now" > > eva-chatbot behavior is the same, but it correctly responds to the robot > manipulation commands (e.g., look left) > > What am I doing wrong?
