Fri.20.MAY.2011 -- Fixing KbTraversal.
The more we improve the artificial intelligence
in JavaScript (JSAI), the easier it becomes to
program. Fewer things go wrong, and fewer
problems are hidden from view. Right now we
would like to improve the performance of the
knowledge-base traversal module KbTraversal
http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/KbTraversal
which keeps the process of artificial thought going
by activating a series of concepts one at a time.
We wonder why certain concepts are not being
activated, and we would like to see KbTraversal
announce the name of the concept being activated.
Sat.21.MAY.2011 -- AI Tutorial for Science Museums.
Yesterday, in the 20may11A.html JSAI as
uploaded to the Web, we saw KbTraversal
announcing which concepts it would activate
and then trying to think a thought about them,
but we may have cut back too severely on
calls to the obsolete version of the PsiDecay
http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/PsiDecay
module, because the JSAI became less able to
think smoothly. We should probably restore the
psi-decay calls for the time being, so that we
may gradually improve an already functional AI.
After we restored the PsiDecay calls, we worked
on the erroneous display of articles as a subject
or an object in the AI tutorial mode. Because the
http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/SpreadAct
SpreadAct module invokes the display of each line
of association from a subject to a verb or from a
verb to an object, an item will fail to be displayed
if it is not being treated by SpreadAct. We made
the AI Mind display its associative thinking
somewhat better.
Teachers and docents who display the AI Mind
in a school or science museum are invited to
report back on Usenet or their own website about
how human beings reacted to the experience of
witnessing an alien Mind think and communicate
in natural human language. Is the AI really thinking,
or is it just a chatbot pretending to think?
