Prediction: XX #62
Comments
A quick search through the code for "XX" reveals the following comment.
In our case, the XX case , "the computation failed and the demo is valid and current". |
Attached is the CogTool project that reveals the XX. For this same project, all is well on Catalina 10.15, but for 10.12 the XX is the result. |
Installing CLISP solved this issue for me. Install CLISP
Will reopen if anyone else has this issue for a different reason. |
To be more specific, On the Mac, CogTool 1.4 and above looks for the MacPorts version of CLISP. I've attached a package on the 1.4 release that will install CLISP. |
@PatrickonGH Earlier in the issue, I cited the Homebrew CLISP as the solution to this issue only find out later that the MacPorts version is actually the solution. Have you installed CLISP via MacPorts either by the package attached to the 1.4 release or via MacPorts CLI (I think 'port install clisp')? |
Additionally, we created an alpha release for debugging this very issue. https://github.com/CogTool-Modern/cogtool/releases/tag/1.5-alpha In the cell Tooltips you'll find error messages as to why the computation failed. Please Try this alpha release and report back the contents of the cell tooltip with your setup if installing MacPorts CLISP doesn't solve the issue. |
@justingeeslin Thanks! I installed the package and it works now. This is nevertheless somehow strange because I have a working CLISP installation on my computer. I would have thought that a symlink in the right place would be enough. It also seems that loading actr6.mem expects a specific version. |
Glad that fixed the issue for you! Yes, you are correct; ACT-R in the form of a saved memory image does require the same CLISP that generated it. If we relied on the CLISP already installed it seems like we'd have to generate a act6.mem for that CLISP installation for that OS / Arch combo. I think the motivation for pre-generating a memory image in the first place was for performance reasons, but this decision was made back in the WinXP days, when an entire OS fit on a CD, less than 700 MB! That said, |
That would be worth a try. It may also be possible to get the last stable release of ACT-R when ANT is running. |
Ah, Good idea! |
Sometimes when calculating a time the prediction is reported as xx. One expects a time for a skilled user to complete the task.
