Re: TECH.REV: Semantic Analyser Proposal
This sounds great. It makes me think of the Cyc project. I'm not sure if
they are using Prolog or Lisp, but for the last several years they have
been putting in "common sense" into a machine-- but they have had to do it
by translating English-->AI-Rules when they teach it and
AI-Rules-->English when they make queries. They have Cyc run
overnight "thinking" and making up new rules (People come in the morning,
look at what Cyc "thought" and then tell Cyc whether or not it makes any
sense. One instance they told Cyc that "Where you work has influence on
what you want to eat." was wrong-- I disagreed with that because if you
worked at a pizza parlor, chinese-food place, or fried-chicken joint, very
likely you would not want to eat the same kind of food you worked with
everyday.)
If People instead could just talk with the "machine" and have the machine
talk back and wait for a go'i or a correction, people with the special
knowledge to program in the AI-language to teach the machine would not be
needed.
But then of course, many of you probably already knew this. :)
They say that Cyc has the common sense/intelligence of about a seven-year old
kid. You can ask it questions and it will answer like a seven-year old kid.
Now for a quickie translation (this is a first try...)
la zepi. <<lu cpacu po nu le xajmi li'u>>
Zippy says "Are we having fun yet?"
I'm am not sure if I am getting this right-- especially for the concept of
"yet"... I'm copy-catting 'quoting' from what I have seen on some CAFE
postings and I am not posivite if lu ... li'u really are "quotes".
