I translated this DAML representation http://xbean.cs.ccu.edu.tw/~dan/opencyc-0.6.0/cyc.daml into mKR, and am currently making "corrections", with the result being stored in http://mKRmKE.net/knowledge/cyc/myCyc.mkr 1. I'd like to know how this version compares with the current OpenCyc 1.0.2. For example: is version 0.6 the same as 1.0.2? a subset of version 1.0.2? completely different? 2. Are there any new DAML|OWL|other versions of the Upper Ontology available? Any versions of the total knowledge base? 3. Who can I talk to about "corrections"? For example: OWL father sameAs biologicalFather. mKR father is biologicalFather; Dick McCullough knowledge := man do identify od existent done; knowledge haspart proposition list; http://mKRmKE.org/ |

Hi, I wondered if anyone has tried to make a round trip with: IBM javaspeech for recognition Opencyc for reasoning and FreeTTS for speech output ...as to produce an intelligent talking machine (not like Alice or the like, which is not very clever).

Actually, it was an expedient way to give neophytes an idea of what ontology is. If all of the OWL community adopted Wikipedia's article title as the canonical term, that might be more like a de facto standard. I actually don't think there is a de facto standard for this yet. > What are the plans in Cyclify to work with the fact that the Cyc-L names > won't be the de facto universal identifiers when a web user wants to lin= k to a concept? > Will Cyc adopt a URL system?

I think a good friendship will develop, and we're certainly going to work to make that happen. And yes, I think serious natural language queries of Wikipedia are a realistic vision of the future, although I wouldn't expect it in the next two years -- at least not against article content. I met with Jimmy Wales a few weeks ago, and he said he is a supporter of Cyc and would like to see it grow the way Wikipedia did.

Hi. I have a few questions about the Cyclify project announced here: http://opencyc.org/ 1. Will the opencyc mailing lists (like this one) be the main discussion forum for Cyclify? 2. If I find a possible bug in the ontology, will I send it to one of these email lists (or the opencyc bug tracker)? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=389632&group_id=27274&func=browse 3. Cyclify is compared to the Wikipedia project. Already on the Cyc Foundation page http://www.cycfoundation.org/ there is a reference to the concept of "ontology" that gives a link to the Wikipedia article. This underscores that the Wikipedia article URL is the de facto standard to referring to a concept on the web (not #$Ontology). What are the plans in Cyclify to work with the fact that the Cyc-L names won't be the de facto universal identifiers when a web user wants to link to a concept? Will Cyc adopt a URL system? And map it explicitly to other identifiers like Wikipedia? 4. Wikipedia is already doing ontology stuff. Their Category system already does a lot of what #$isa and #$genls does. And they are planning typed predicate tags. See http://wiki.ontoworld.org/wiki/Main_Page . What is the vision of coordination as both WCyc and Wikipedia (and others) vie to have web users contribute to the respective (huge) ontologies? Since the Cyc language and query engine will always be much more rich than what Wikipedia will attempt, is the idea to just have Cyc "scrape" the ontology of Wikipedia? Could there ever be enough friendship between the projects so that a Wikipedia page has a built-in link to the Cyc engine to do serious natural language queries (which Wikipedia will not likely attempt)? Thanks, - Jeff |

The prizes ($2500 each) are for best research paper and best proposal involving either OpenCyc (http://www.opencyc.org) or ResearchCyc (http://research.cyc.com) artificial intelligence software. More info is at http://www.opencyc.org/announce/firstCycPrizes. If you'd like to help get the word out, you can "digg" the story at http://digg.com/software/Cyc_Prizes_Offered:_One_month_until_deadline . (You will need to create a free digg account if you don't already have one.) Thanks! John De Oliveira Cycorp P.S. The next version of ResearchCyc, scheduled for late February, will have all of the facts and rules from Full Cyc -- not a subset. The OpenCyc that comes out after that will have all of the terms and all definitional predicates from Full Cyc (but not all assertions and only a few rules). |

Dear opencyc-devel, I'm trying to assert a GAF of the form (#$Foo1 #$Foo2 #$Foo3 0.5) using the CycAccess API. I can't seem to figure out how to put in a number as one of the arguments; the assertGaf methods all seem to require CycFort arguments (except one that takes a CycList but I'm not sure what it does). If I use createNewPermanent("0.5"), it doesn't like it, since it doesn't like the period, and I don't want #$0.5 anyway, I want the number. I also didn't know if there was an easy way to feed CycL assertions as Strings through the CycAccess API, since maybe I could just do it by hand if I had that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Best wishes, Francis Fung __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

you'd be correct. After looking around a bit more I was sad to see that opencyc is only sudo open source. It's open source in the same sense that the Linksys wireless AP is open source ;) You have some of the source just not enough to do a full rebuild. *sigh* And since both the linux and windows binaries are compiled for x86 instruction code, that leaves 2 of the *cough* better *cough* processors out in the cold for us OS X and Solaris developers. Though I'll keep my eye open and if a OS X port ever come about I'll probably become more involved in the development process.

It is the knowledge written in CycL that is Open Source (LGPL). Thus, you have the case where you need to package the binary executables that are already released rather than rebuild from C/SubL. I believe Darwin is a version of FreeBSD, but I think it doesn't run x86 code. (please tell me if I'm wrong) If Darwin can run either an x86 Linux program or an x86 win32 program, then you can use the existing binaries on your system. Another option, which I haven't explored, is to run Bochs under Darwin. I believe it would let you run Linux on top of Bochs, and then Bochs on top of Darwin. Well, it is an interesting adventure. I'd love to hear your path continues. David Whitten (713) 791-1414 ext 6116 |

Hi, Your project is highly interesting to me. I no legal background, but I do have extremely broad technical experience for someone of my age (23). One of my more enjoyable experiences was a co-op at Cycorp. The problem is that I am currently employed (part time) AND working on my thesis. Expect both of these to end in May or June, and would love if this could be what's next for me. If the fact that I could not start until them does not disqualify me, let me know and I'll send over a resume (I'm away from my computer right now) and describe my Cycorp experience in some depth.

The current release of OpenCyc would be suitable only for deliberative robot control activities, those in which some seconds are allocated for decision making. As a workaround, you could store a state-machine definition in a microtheory, extract it entirely into the robot application during initialization and use that for the sub-second reactive behavior of the robot. I am currently in the midst of writing a behavior engine for Cyc that takes this approach that may be available next year. -Steve On Wed, 3 Dec 2003, Piermarco Burrafato wrote: > Hi, > > I am investigating the possibility to use OpenCyc for real-time > applications, especially robotics.

I think the answer to this question might hinge on the garbage collector in Cyc's run time environment... it's certainly something that I'm curious about, in any case. How incremental is the GCing? If fairly incremental, what's a safe upper bound time wise on a collection cycle? Is it in its own thread? If so, what's the max fraction of cycles it would take away from the execution at any given point. Is there any way of configuring any of these behaviors? I'm curious about what you're doing robotics-wise, as I'm doing robotics research as well. Something to discuss one on one if you're so inclined.

Hi, I am investigating the possibility to use OpenCyc for real-time applications, especially robotics. The question is: since Cyc is a huge knowledge base, even though I built my own "little" microtheory, would this suffise for getting good performances during query time? I mean, would this assure a reasonable computation time for inferencing any fact =66rom the KB when, say, the system is approaching a potentially dangerou= s state? Would Cyc let the robot get broken crashing against a wall, or would rather Cyc save it? Many thanks for any help.

Or not? I don't know myself. Also, this might be off-topic for opencyc. Please repeat your question on the powerloom-forum. I am sure they will be ready to help you. I have asked some questions there and received prompt attention. -- A new cognitive theory of emotion, http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/aleader |
