[opencog-dev] how to best think of the 'confidence' in simple truth value

2017-01-23 Thread Apil Tamang
Hi All, What would be the most intuitive (and generally applicable) way of thinking about 'confidence' in the simple-truth-value system? I know stv consists of a 'strength' and a 'confidence' part. The strength, if I remember correctly is representative of the probability of that statement

Hi All, Trying to read through the knowledge.scm file that is supposed to, in some ways, embody the internal-model for chatbot-eva. Naturally, I have some very basic questions. It'd be nice to understand what exactly the following nodes do or represent: - DefinedSchema, - Inheritance vs.

All, I repeated the build once again, and did not encounter this problem. I was able to successfully build all of opencog and also telnet to the cogserver. So, looks like the docker images are good-to-go. On Friday, October 28, 2016 at 8:33:52 AM UTC-4, Apil Tamang wrote: > > Hey all, I f

Hey All, I've been reading about the OpenCog architecture for a while, and mainly from Ben's volumes (I & II) on the system. It is very interesting, and although I'm far from having digested it all completely, I guess this is a good time as any to actually get started hands-on. My interests are
