AIML and finite state machines

Hello everyone,
I'm new to AIML, so please be patient if my question has a obvious answer or so on. I'm doing a little research to discover if there's a way of incorporate the concept of the finite state machines in AIML, in order to create a bot/character who answers in different ways depending on his internal state. Is there a way to define this states directly with AIML, or another language is needed to define the states along with a different/hybrid parser? Thank you! |

Hello, some people use the AIML <topic> tag to vary the responses
based on the state of the <topic> value. You can also make the responses dependent on AIML predicates with <get> and <set>: <category> <pattern>WHAT IS MY NAME</pattern> <template> <condition name="name"> <li value="*">Your name is <get name="name"/>.</li> <li>You haven't told me your name yet.</li> </condition> </template> </category> On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 1:15 PM, lordsme <lordsme@...> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I'm new to AIML, so please be patient if my question has a obvious answer or > so on. > > I'm doing a little research to discover if there's a way of incorporate the > concept of the finite state machines in AIML, in order to create a > bot/character who answers in different ways depending on his internal state. > > Is there a way to define this states directly with AIML, or another language > is needed to define the states along with a different/hybrid parser? > Thank you! > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/AIML-and-finite-state-machines-tp22163714p22163714.html > Sent from the Alicebot General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > This is the alicebot-general mailing list > Reply to alicebot-general@... > Unsubscribe and change preferences at http://list.alicebot.org/mailman/listinfo/alicebot-general > Learn netiquette at http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html > Learn to read at http://www.literacy.org/ > This is the alicebot-general mailing list Reply to alicebot-general@...

Like Richard says, there are a number of ways that you can alter the
response depending on the internal state of a person. In earlier discussions (recommend searching the mailing list for this) we have often talked about a mechanism to display emotion depending upon the type of inputs a person would send to your bot. Often this system would incorporate some kind of quadrant of different emotional states and use a counter to keep track of the internal state. There are of course more ways of doing this. You may even use a different engine to determine the state and then feed its value into the AIML interpretation engine to use in the response generation. This is up to you.

It allows for accessing emotional assessments of a situation and conversion to some other form of assessment - all through the use of questions. It is an example of a "Language of the Vague". How it works is covered in the FAQ on the site, more formal perspective is covered in the Abstract Domain Model page http://members.iimetro.com.au/~lofting/myweb/AbstractDomain.html with a focus on an upper ontology. The EIC book will be out soon. I am converting the EIC format into an AIML model as a set of tags to be plugged-in - the issue is in refinements differentiating primary from secondary emotions. The IDM abstract domain focus in on differentiating the neural hierarchy where BENEATH the layer of symbol creation and so multiple context identifications is a level of meaning that is label-free in that it covers a SINGLE context. Since the labels levels are dependent upon this base level for their operation so we can translate a set of labels from one specialist domain to those of another by exploiting the sameness present in the pre-labels layer. The IDM abstract domain model identifies the classes of meaning derived in this single context realm where all labels will point to these classes. Thus we take specialist labels, convert them to the sameness level classes and the back up into a different set of specialist labels. In the EIC we use fight/flight derived classes to translate into yang/yin derived classes. At this level of no labels, and so single context, it is the HIERARCHY that elicits meaning where this is in the form of applying a class of dichotomy recursively and so moving from general to particular and creating classes of possible meanings. Selection of elements of the dichotomy, through questions, then maps out a path of actuals through the set of potentials to give us the specific current meaning. There are three classes of dichotomy - symmetric (Equivalence focus), anti-symmetric (traditional Aristotle XOR focus), and asymmetric (Part/whole processing, also IMP focus). What is of interest is that the initial recursive process is mechanistic but given some depth (at least 6 levels) we see emerge the organic in the form of literal categories suddenly being able to be used figuratively (efficiently so, less levels lack such) and so as sources of analogy that is 'hard coded' into the methodology of recursion. At this level we can get each class to have its properties and methods described by analogy to all of the other classes - as such we have here the beginnings of languages.

Basic meaning generation
by Chris Lofting

Rate this Message:
Hi all,
In the context of giving a sense of meaning to AI systems and as an example of the dynamics of generic meaning generation I have written a book covering the manifestation of our basic categories formation capabilities and the specialist symbolisation of such. As such I cover the capability of our brains, through oscillations, to translate emotional, fight/flight, assessments of a context (intuitive, parallel processing) into a corresponding yang/yin assessment (reasoned, serial processing) and elicit associated imagery and finer details of that situation. The book, the Emotional I Ching, covers the theory behind it all (IDM is summarised in the appendix) and presents a practical example of the application of that theory. The ISBN distribution is not complete yet and so, as I understand it, one can only get the book from Lulu (link below) but the distribution once done will have it available from Amazon etc etc and so on to local bookshops if they see it and decide to market it. The link below has a review capability focused on the first 20+ pages and hexagram 01 details - the ground of it all being in Jung's concept of the Collective Unconscious that equates with the AI focus on an "upper ontology" (aka meta-ontology, the is-ness of is-ness).
