Subject: Re: What's everyone working on?
Well, once I get back to the States (end of August), I'll be working on:
* FLUID -- a cognitive model of text comprehension based on Walter
Kintsch's Construction-Integration model. Will allow
parsing of text, automatic semantic-net construction,
AI-based auto-propositionalizing of texts. Full GUI.
* KIWi -- a port of an AI project developed here at the DFKI. Learns
from text and/or examples (current implementation learns how
to program in LISP). Also generates it's own examples (could
be extended to actually write programs). Full GUI. Will
interface with FLUID for understanding plaintext, such as
manuals.
* SemSpace -- A knowledge representation method based on the concept of
semantic spaces. Will include routines for holographic
indexing, and possible multidimensional folding for storage
efficiency. Meant to be a back-end 'memory' for FLUID and KIWi.
(This is what I needed all the array info for! :-) )
I originally intended to write nifty utilities and the like, but I really should
focus on what I know best. Besides, there are hardly any AI or model-based apps
for the Amiga. Perhaps I can change that. Expected release date: Early '94.
Should be in beta-test by December (studies permitting).
Whups! Almost forgot two:
* AmiTierra -- A port of the now-famous Tierran Artificial Life virtual
computer, found in Unix and MS-DOS implementations, currently.
This thing is crying out for an Amiga port, since it requires
multitasking.
* NVir -- A testbed environment for multiple autonomous agents. Ideal for
experimenting with Artificial Life concepts, robot control
structures, etc. 256-color, 3D, multiple POV, with several
agents included. Will include an 'Agent Factory', to allow quick
development of simple agents with multiple sensor arrays. Will
also provide Vir, a flexible agent design language for those who
want to work from the ground up. This project may take until
Mid '94. Should be beta'ed by Feb. or March of '94.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to slog away at this damn modelling work I'm supposedly
being paid to do here....la tee da.
