AgentInfer

###RELEASE 0.0.3

• based on an inference engine of modular knowledge based components.

• implentation in php 5.3 and Mysql

####Instructions

• run install .sql

• copy config.sample.php to config.php and conigue config.php to use the respective database credentials

• navigate to clients/cmd and run ./stream from shell.

• Recognized commands

  • STARTUP: boot the machine from the chat client

  • SHUTDOWN: halt the machine and take a snapshot of the state

####Some key components of the inference engine:

• State

  • the state is a store of all of the current data being processed.
  • it provides context that modules can be dependent upon.

• Fingerprint

  • stores unique values about the agent such as name age etc. A way to decouple from the fact storag.

• Sense of Environment

  • the default environment is the sreaming cmd php-cli script which processes STDIN and STDOUT from the shell

• Self Actualization

  • the agent should keep memory of its successes and failures and evolve upon these

• Randomness

  • should use novel search algorithms to promote exploration and evolution

Modules

• each knowledge based module has a database and a set of policies

• modules use the obsever/subject paradigm to promote decoupling

Core Modules

READ WRITE

• handles IO processing between the client and the core IO Buffer

• should have a lot of observers attached

• uses NLP dependency to tokenize sentence and convery meaning and context of sentence.

• Delegate processing to memory for answering questions

Emotion Module

• identifies emotions and associates them to self actualization, state and sense of environment

• apply emotions to the inference of subscribing modules.

Language Module

• should be subscribed to emotion module if it exists.

Memory Object

• should keep detailed memories about nouns to consult for later decision making etc.

• stores questions and answers and refers to them when processing input

• in addition to answering question possibly from memory object fact table, it should also refer to it's own fingerprint
