Greetings fellow NICOLE users, Yes, it has been a while between drinks.. since I've been busy with my studies and what not. I'm in the process of building a global master database, and seeing as people subscribed to these lists are generally people who have used NICOLE, I'd thought I'd pass on the current status of the master database. While still small, the master database does offer quite a few different responses (just try and say 'HELLO' to it and find out!. However this database is very far from complete. I need your help! If you have the latest version of NICOLE (0.1.7) then you should be able to 'importdb' the attached database file (after gunzipping it of course) into your own personal database, and then creating an export file (using exportdb) to send back to myself (or to the list if you want to share it around). Lets get together and build up NICOLE's database!!! Cheers, Phil Howlett <pgh...@oz...> - Project NICOLE Administrator |

Hi there, There is a lot more action happening on the sourceforge.net forums than these mailing lists. It is probably better to use these forums instead of these mailing lists also. For further information about NICOLE, check out NICOLE's forums at -=> http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=2968 Cheers, Phil H. ************************************************************* Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, or of Queensland Transport.

Phil G Howlett@QDOT 07/31/2000 12:27 PM Hi, I've just released the development version of NICOLE 0.1.6 Here are the release notes and changelog since 0.1.5 Release Notes: This release contains the importdb and exportdb utilities that allow you to easily exchange and merge databases from different sites. You just need to email the DB dump file to someone else to swap and merge knowledge bases. This is a test release to find and remove bugs. Once I have written up some decent documentation (NICOLE Manual) then I will prepare for NICOLE 0.2.0 Release 0.1.6 is a development release only (unstable). Use at your own risk Changelog: * Modified Gershon's patch so that the importdb utility also updates the dictioanry as well as the vocabulary. Also prettied up the output generated by the exportdb/importdb utilities. * Applied the patch to import and export a database supplied by Gershon Bialer. You can now easily export your databaase and import it into another database. Thanks Gershon!! * Fixed up the configure script to stop to let you know that you have the MySQL files missing. - Thanks Zach. *Applied a patch supplied by Eurik that allows the import of a text file that has lower case. It converts it to upper case through the import utility. * Fixed a bug with the /INFO command that segment faulted if a word existed in the dictionary, but not in the vocabulary. -- Lets start building up a common knowledge base so that we can distribute it with the upcoming version 0.2.0 !!!!

Phil G Howlett@QDOT 07/11/2000 04:50 PM This message was posted up on the "Project Help Wanted" page on sourceforge.net -=-=-=- I'm seeking a few people work on the NICOLE engine. NICOLE has started to grow into a mature AI library. What I would like to do is extend this library, as well as release other utilities and applications that use the NICOLE engine. Some examples are: o IRC Bot o Speech Input/Output o Multiple conversations (get multiple copies of NICOLE talking to one another) If you want some information about NICOLE then go to the www site at http://nicole.sourceforge.net I would like developers who are porficient in C/C++ to work on the NICOLE API engine, as well as developers (doesn't have to be C/C++) to build support applications. Don't know how to code? That doesn't matter. You can help out NICOLE by building up the knowledge base, populating the database (and having fun talking to NICOLE at the same time). Please email me if you are interested in developing in this exciting project. :) -=-=-=- Cheers, Phil. ************************************************************* Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, or of Queensland Transport.

Hi there, I've just released 0.1.2 of NICOLE. While this isn't a major release, mainly bug fixes and a few extra features. You will have to reset your database if you are upgrading (use the /ERASE ME command inside nicole once you have compiled) The main reason for this release is that I've written a 'learn' utility. This utility makes it easier to import a conversation into nicole (it works kinda like the old 'import' utility). I haven't had the time yet to write up any decent documentation for it (volunteers anyone?) but it basically works like this. You create a text file (there is a sample.txt file provided with this new release). Each line of the text file is a single sentence, each line follows the previous sentence. It is kinda like having a conversation with yourself. If you wish to start a new conversation then create a line with three (3) dashes (---). You can have a look at the sample.txt file, or you can always email me. What I would like to see is people creating their own 'conversation' text files that we can swap around and have our own copies of NICOLE 'learn' from others. Eventually, I would like to compile a large text file to import into NICOLE so that there is a standard base, if people wish it. Anyway, have fun playing with 0.1.2 Cheers, Phil H. -- Phil Howlett pgh...@oz... |

Yes, it has happened again! I've released 0.1.0 of NICOLE and I must say I'm rather proud of myself with this version. 0.1.0 contains bug fixes that popped up in 0.0.6 as well as some minor enhancements. If you upgrade to 0.1.0 then you will need to reset your knowledge base (use the /ERASE ME command within nicole) Have fun, and again, if there are any problems/suggestions then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Cheers, Phil. -- Phil Howlett pgh...@oz... |

Phil G Howlett@QDOT 06/19/2000 08:59 AM Greetings NICOLE followers, In the next day or so, I will be releasing NICOLE-0.1.0 What's different about this release compared to the others? I'm glad you asked. :) The past releases (0.0.0 -> 0.0.5) have been development releases and contain half finished objects and programs. Since I have had a large break in my exams, I have spent the weekend coding, completing the vocabulary object, as well as the responder object. I've also done some tidying up of code (as well as a little bit of documentation). The main feature for this release is that: *** NICOLE now has the ability and means to reply to human input!!!! *** I've spent a good hour or so populating the database with sentences and NICOLE is starting to reply back with my input, and MAKE SENSE!! The theory actually looks like it works!! This has been 10 years in the making!! and it is nice to finally release a workable version of NICOLE after so many false starts. I'm not getting too excited however. I'd much prefer to hear back from other people if they have the same results as I have. Within the next few days, I will place NICOLE-0.1.0 on the www site (http://nicole.sourceforge.net). Feel free to download 0.1.0 when it is available it and try it out for yourself!

This release has been quite an update since the last one. New features include a mySQL database instead of the old gdbm database. This allows for much faster and more portable database solution. NICOLE also now stores words in its database. NICOLE still doesn't respond, but the basic database structure is now in place. Stay tuned for more details later. Cheers, Phil. -- Phil Howlett pgh...@oz... |

Greetings, There is a small delay with release 0.0.4 of NICOLE. This release I planned to give NICOLE the ability to actually store and expand it's own dictionary. I've come across a few problems (namely memory leaks) and I don't want to release buggy code. I'll release 0.0.4 as soon as this bug is sorted out. Cheers, Phil Howlett.

Fixed a few bugs with the import command, as well as some improvements to the collection object (like handling non-existant databases). I've also started working on the history object. This records the conversation between the user and NICOLE. -- Phil Howlett pgh...@oz... |

Heya, I've come across a small issue with the latest release of NICOLE. (0.0.2) There are a few dependancies still in the Makefile.in file which need to be removed. Simply run 'make depend' after you run 'configure' and the dependency problem will go away. Have fun! Cheers, Phil. -- Phil Howlett pgh...@oz... |

Heya, I've released NICOLE-0.0.1 as a pre-Alpha program to the world. There isn't much to see right now, I've just spent the time getting things correct and sorting out 'autoconf' (which onw works btw) You can download this new release from http://download.sourceforge.net/nicole/nicole-0.0.1.tar.gz Cheers, Phil Howlett.
