Shahin,
So assuming that the Cyc engine and several million statements are as
valuable as suggest.
Where are the commercial applications that have been developed on top of
them?
I imagine that there are a few black ops applications that the government
has spent a great deal of our tax dollars on but where are the commercial
applications.
I have heard that Cyc has had several corporate sponsors in the past but
what was the return on their investment?
Why not create something like what Wolfram is releasing in Alpha but based
on Cycs several million fact knowledge base?
This is what I am unable to understand.
At one time everyone was patient and hopeful about what Cyc would produce.
Myself included.
But years later we still do not even see a rudimentary chatbot based on it
surpassing single creator entries like Alice in the Turing competition.
