Thank you for your kindness and for sharing that information.
You are a genius, when I was 14, the only thing I cared about was Diablo II...
I think there is something to be said about letting a person have their childhood. It is far too easy to burn someone out by a raft of accomplishments when they are very young.
A child prodigy has the potential to be successful at any point in their life. It could be both a blessing and a curse to push for 'winning' so much acclaim at a young age.
Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique. Unlike pregnant which is a binary (are/are not), unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium. Even the dictionary, in one of the terms for unique, gives a meaning that's not "unique" in a binary way at all: "not typical; unusual". If it wasn't a continuum we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique" us…
> Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique. Pedantic, but you can't. Unique is not a gradable adjective. This is not just my opinion : http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/05/an-extremely-most... http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/grammar-reference/... https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/adjectives-gradable-non.... > we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique" I wouldn…
Pedantry aside, I'd like to suggest that common sense and should always trump grammatical "rules". If we might assume the layperson's definition, "one of a kind" (ie, one instance in a set), and acknowledge that one such kind may represent a radically larger set than another, how might we use English to describe the difference?
The letter "R" is unique in the English alphabet.
The particular grain of sand in the palm of my hand is unique to the world's beaches.
Are "R" and this grain of sand equally unique? Might there be a way to compare them?
I don't want to debate the point, rather to pose the question and see what any responses might illuminate.
Whenever I find one of these AI chat programs, I like to start by typing in "this sentence is false", and yours gave me the most unique response (after quite some time calculating): "It seems to be, and it's actually a string of words satisfying the grammatical rules of a language." On a side note - I work in tech education, and I have to say that the software projects that motivated people of your age are creating i…
> On a side note - I work in tech education, and I have to say that the software projects that motivated people of your age are creating is astonishing. Keep it up! On a side note as well: I am creating an web app in the tech education, and would love to connect with other ed tech people. What's your contact? My email is in my profile.
You should get in touch with CloudAcademy.com as well. If you'd like, let me know (easy to find my email by googling my name).
This is cute, I wrote a chat bot like this when I was your age. They're a pretty popular/common new programmer project because there's not much to the interface and it can fool people into thinking it's actual AI. This one's pretty fun. If you think you might want to pursue programming more, I would recommend trying to participate in some open source projects. Not only will it look great on your CV but it will give y…
I do pursue programming, and contribute to open-source projects such as DuckDuckGo.
I have quite a few opportunities for hands-on experience.
Mine is AI in the sense that it uses machine learning algorithms and corroborates it in a way that mimics human behavior. Maybe I put too much effort to the interface, but the interface took me a while.
Furthermore, my project does not end at the chatterbot element of it: it also collects useful psychometric data using text classification algorithms.
I broke it by saying "I don't live in a state". I'm English..
I got: > By the way, which country do you inhabit (or which United States state)? > England. > I don't have a good sense of navigation, so I don't know exactly where you live, but it seems to be Where I Live network. > By the way, which country do you inhabit (or which United States state)?
Interesting. Is it an expert system or is there a neural net behind it?
The model behind my project is not designed after human interaction, but rather a combination of what is the most efficient for me to maintain and best mimics human behavior.
I thought we'd all learned to stop worrying and love descriptivism?
If we are talking about descriptive linguistics "analyzing and describing how language is actually used" as opposed to formal rules ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_description ), then we must also love how the way that I use the English language differs from the way that you use it. And how my well-documented variant works too, and why they differ. I don't use "unique" that way. Do you want "unique" to be j…
It's not quite a synonym for "different", though. If you say "that's a very different project", there has to be some context for what it's different from; it can't stand alone, except in some colloquialisms. On the other hand, if you say "that's a highly unique project", it's understood that it's very different from 'most of the (actual) other projects'... and aside from being verbose, that formulation is only an approximation to the meaning of "unique". For one thing, "unique" suggests a holistic comparison among the whole class, while something like "different from most" suggests a series of two-way comparisons (is it different from A? is it different from B?), each of which can only be yes or no, and "most just counts how many of the results are yeses. This is not necessarily what is intended, since the meaning can be corrupted into 'different from [the general characteristics of a group containing most of the others]', but I'd call that more abusive than just grading "unique". And even that changes the meaning of the grade: if something is 'extremely different from most of the others', then it can still be identical to a decent chunk of the others; the adverb only applies within the aforementioned comparison(s) (even if to a group). If something is extremely unique, then it's probably different from almost all of the others, but chances are it's also very different from most of them; the adverb applies to the holistic comparison.
What technologies did you use to build this bot? Are you using any libraries?
I am pretty sure it uses wolfram or wikipedia api to answer questions.. Perhaps also ALICE and AIML
As I've replied to other people: No AIML. My bot uses its own markup language custom-made to its needs that I call ACUMANSCRIPT. What makes it special is the backend, which is much more flexible and advanced then AIML (which focusing on exact string matching).
In fact, ACUMAN beat the ALICE bot in the last Chatterbox Challenge by over 20 points, winning the "Best New Bot" prize.
> I actually do not think japan is a very nice country. By the way, I've heard that Japan is a very nice country. Most of the "conversation" was about this level.
> Really? You live in a country bordering germany, hungary, slovakia and a few others? Tell me more about it. By the way, I've heard that Germany is a very nice country. By the way, I've heard that Hungary is a very nice country. By the way, I've heard that Slovakia is a very nice country.
Those bugs are fixed and the algorithm regarding identifying countries and states in discussion has been improved.
Considering what you're capable of, I can't help but imagine you as a robot. No offense. That's just what comes to mind when I visualize you. Seriously. How do you do it? Do you just read a book and absorb everything in it?
Thank you! That's a nice compliment.
For me, it was 5% reading, 95% hands-on experience, though it differs from person-to-person.
