Hello, there   I am intended in Natural Language Proccessing and want to
find other people with the same interests. I hope i will be able to
speak with a linguist working with Lisp or other specialist in the both
science (linguistics and programming). I will be looking forward for
next hearing from you. I download natural language proccessing project

helo jutika,
   This is Ramesh Ankam from gdk,
   Artificial Intelligence ever lasting subject in computer science
   this AI not confined to any specified area.More over every development
   depends on finance,for example the applicaion of AI in business sector is
   BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE,and more sectors are very need in AI.
   According to my knowledge FINANCE is one of welcoming area in AI.

   all the very best.

           Hi Guys,

I'm currently working as a software engineer in a reputed MNC. Next
year I was planning to go for my MS in Artificial Intelligence in US
(I'll be giving my GRE this August).
But I've been offered a job which deals with finance (CDO's). The only
reason I'm thinking about taking up the offer is because of the
challenge and the package (which is really really good and would help
me pay for my MS).
But I'm wondering how much would a finance background add to my resume
and my plans of an MS in AI? If I really enjoy the finance job, can I
do something that lies somewhere between finance and AI?

Any suggestions would be welcome…….
Awaiting a reply (I need to make this decision fast… :))

Thanks….take care…
Jutika.

Hi Folks:

I am currently putting together a curriculum for a new one term
robotics course at my high school in September. We have examined
the materials provided by the Vex and Lego construction sets.
The materials so far accumulated for the course include nine vex sets
and nine Parallex Stamp units.
Do any of you have a curriculum or other written activities
you can share?
Thanx, Phil

Dear Sir,
          I am completely new in this field. Could you please mail me
the basics of the working of a robot and send me the latest
information about robotics and information systems.


Thanking you,
Sarthak Dash

Sarthak Dash,

Yes, AI is finding important uses in every field.

The basis of any robotic system is positive and negative feed back.

The best example I have seen of negative feed back was at a gift store.  A
small black plastic project box with a single toggle switch on it.  No
label.  People inevitably were drawn throw the switch.  A tiny motor would
start running inside, the lid would open slowly and a tiny plastic doll hand
would reach out and throw the switch back to the off position, retract
suddenly and the lid would slam shut.
-- Welcome to robotics.

PS. I am looking for talented volunteers who would like to work on the
worlds most advanced robotic vehicle that we are preparing for the DARPA
Urban Challenge.  If you have any spare time and would like the resume
bullet point, contact me.

Sarthak Dash:

I don't know what you done so far. Therefore, I would suggest that you might use
Google to get started. Point your browser to

     www.google.com

and then request items using the following search terms

     robotics tutorial

I just tried it and there seem to be quite a few interesting pieces of
information.

This is the basis for brain/mind as well - expressed in the dichotomy of
differentiating(positive)/integrating(negative) commonly labelled in
neurosciences as WHAT/WHERE.

The parallel dynamics is best seen in such concepts as mathematics sequences
- e.g. Fibonacci - where the positive is in the syntax and so precise
ordering of numbers in the sequence, and the negative is in the oscillation
of the ratio of pairs of the sequence as we get closer and closer to 1.618

Precision is in the tightening of the 'spiral' that comes out of these
sequences as the numbers get 'bigger'.

If we treat the sequences as markers of considering past contexts to
influence current 'meaning' then the fib pattern gives us a gentle growth
spiral.

Considering two past context moments (regardless of scale) will give a
Fibonacci sequence. Considering ALL past contexts will give a binary
sequence and so our gentle spiral becomes a square spiral reflecting the
A/NOT-A nature of binary 'thinking' and so dichotomy usage.

Dichotomies come in the form of an asymmetric form that contains the
symmetric and the anti-symmetric. Meaning is derived from the asymmetric
dichotomy through self-referencing - it gives a set of qualities usable to
communicate notions of whole, part, static relationship, dynamic
relationship.

Mathematics contains these qualities in the form of the basic types of
numbers:

Whole - whole numbers
Part - rational numbers
Static (share space) - irrational
Dynamic (share time) - imaginary

From these we create composite forms of real, complex, quaternions,
octonions.

IOW from basic issues of feedback aka differentiating/integrating comes the
roots of language ;-) (add to that the qualitative bounding of the number
line through the concepts of positive/negative and we have a mathematics
that works inwards to map 'out there'.

All of this is indicative of self-referencing at work in the derivation of
meaning where that referencing is rooted in differentiating/integrating aka
positive/negative feedback dynamics.

Chris.

Garo,

You are among friend's, but not necessarily like spirited and like
driven friends.  There are a number of people subscribed to this news
group that have an interest in NLS.  However, experience has shown me
that the members come from backgrounds that are very very diverse.
Some want to do NLS with off the shelf, some like me want to make the
shelf, languages preferences abound and are diverse, some are beginners
and don't understand the complex talks, and some are experts and get
board quickly with new comer questions.  I suggest you come up with a
specific project, and make a Yahoo group for it, then explain your
objectives and tool sets and invite interested parties to dialog on
that thread.  Finally, my apologies in advance to whomever decides my
comments are inappropriate to this venue.

minimailist · Minimalist AI

This group is for those interested in taking a minimalist
approach to Artificial Intelligence. Exactly what is meant by a
minimalist approach is a key topic of discussion for this group.
In general, a minimalist approach should adopt the principle that
'less is more' by looking for elegant, insightful solutions to
carefully posed problems.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minimailist/

Hi All,

I recently reported the status of the SPACE command component of the
BuddyRex virtual-life project
(http://www.marcirvin.com/FTP/StatusOfSPACECommand072006.pdf).

Just today, however, it dawned on me that I never told anyone that
months back I had succeeded in giving my rexELIZA a memory of sorts.
As you know the original ELIZA paradigm is about random responses to
a users rants.  If a user asks a question, the standard response is
always along the lines of "I ask the questions, not you."    My AL
(artificial life) designs call for the creation of a few paradigms
that work together as one, of which my ELIZA is just a piece of the
puzzle.

One thing that separates NL (Natural Language), AI, and ES (Expert
Systems) systems from AL efforts is that all of the former are
limited to a specific domain, class, or type of information or
medium.    AL should have no such limitation.  Therefore, my plan is
to have ELIZA handle the domain free dialog exceptions, while my core
ES Shells handle the domain specific reasoning needed to carry out
various kinds of of problem solving.

So for now, here is a brief example, running within the SPACE program
shell,  of ELIZA doing its normal thing with the added capability of
being able to respond to questions, about things it has been told and
things it knows.  The plan is for a user to talk to ELIZA long enough
that the knowledge base becomes so in depth that it represents the
soul of the that person beliefs and memories.  The power becomes
apparent considering ELIZA+ can respond to two kinds of questions --
  "what/when/who/etc. I", and "what/when/who/etc. you".  The "I"
referring to memories about the typist (the interviewee), and
the "you" referring to ELIZA's own memories (the interviewer).

Where do ELIZA+'s memories come from?   They are simply derived by
point ELIZA at any typist's memories at start-up.  In that scenario,
users that are inclined can talk to themselves.  The wider
significance, is that the memories become interchangeable, and the
possibility of ELIZA+es talking and teaching one another becomes an
automatic side benefit.

Finally, please note, what follows is the real deal output from the
system as it responds to assertions and questions from an unscripted
interviewee.  The interviewee input always follows the "X;", while
the interviewer's responses always precedes the "X;".

   "There is only one identity which we all share."
   Hi socket,
   Is this your idea?
   I'm asking because your philosophy intrests me.
Tell me more!

   Hello Lulu,
   The idea is multipersonal and kind of old.
Multipersonal meaning various people have had the same idea ... old
meaning it has been around for milleniums ...
Do you need examples?
   At the core of our philosophy stands the idea that everyone is equal
with everyone before they are born and after they die. Thus our
conclusion is, everyone equals everyone during life also.
   Of course this viewpoint is valid only if we regard pre-birth and
after-death as non-existential realities.
   It means that as we die, we continue to live in the presence of all,
and before we are born we have lived in the presence of all. Thus,
we are responsible for everything because we are everything, god,
death, the devil, everything.
   The omnipotent identity is like a mirror to us, no matter who is
looking into this mirror, each creature sees itself.
   Thus, in the mirror each creature is connected to every other, the
mirror connects us all.
   Does that make sense?

Hi Friends,

I'm a new neural network user and i use Matlab programming language
and editor. WOuld you please help me my below specified problem.

" problem description : I get some data every 30 seconds. when i have
8-10 data, i start to train neural network according to desired
output.  desired output is three step ahead prediction for this
data..

For simulation of this problem : i write a data file (2 x 100), and i
start from 10th data and i train NN by using "for" loop .  Ever time,
i use last 3 data for training and predict three step ahead values.
Of course NN is trained every loop and initial weights is used for
training. i cann't use previous weight finded in previous loop..

HOW CAN I USE WEIGHTS FINDED PREVIOUS LOOP ?

If would anyone help me , i will be very happy..

Regards.

Ufuk

Hi All,

I thought our technology might interest the group.

Cypher is one of the first software program available which generates
the metadata representation of natural language input. Cypher produces
RDF graph and SeRQL query representations of sentences, clauses,
phrases and questions. The Cypher framework provides a set of robust
definition languages, which can be used to extend and create grammars
and lexicons. Cypher programming is fun to learn and easy to use, and
the specifications are designed to allow a novice to quickly and
easily build transcoders for processing highly complex sentences and
phrases of any natural language, and to cover any vocabulary.

The free software and related documentation can be found at:

Enjoy,
sherman

I have a sheet which contains data on stock spreads which have a
zero sum game i.e. if there are 30 stocks in a index some will go up
in $ value , others will go down in $ value but the net effect will
be $0

I am looking for someone to help me explore the relationships using
NN / Pattern Recognition / Fuzzy Logic or Statistical Methods.

These are logical spreads i.e. long one stock and short another and
not based on random up for down movements, hence have a high chance
of being stable and predictable.

Hence I am looking to give someone the spreads of the stocks in an
index i.e. DOW which has 30 stocks = 30 spreads, as I look at if
each stock is going to out or underperforms the index.

What I would like in return is if the spread is going to go up the
next day or down, can be a signal or probability. (Data is in excel)

I am willing to pay on a profit share basis on trading a portfolio
of $100,000, and have further funds available should the model be
successful.

Dear Sir/Madam
**  Call for Papers **
3rd Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-07)
http://iiconference.org/
December 17-19 2007, Pune, India
http://iiconference.org/iicai07/agriculture.html
A Special Session on AI Applications in Agriculture and Social Sciences will be
held during the 3rd Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(IICAI-07). AI techniques are extensively used in the design of planning and
management tools for governments, organizations, farmers, foresters, and the
general public. The session is primarily focused on the practical use and
development of AI methods for modeling and managing the systems in agriculture
and social sciences. It is intended to identify and discuss the common problems
faced by researchers applying AI to agriculture in which both deep and surface
knowledge is highly imprecise and/or uncertain and may be incomplete or vague.
Temporal reasoning and spatial reasoning are critical for modeling the natural
processes as well as individual or social behavior (including adaptability). The
session also serves as a vehicle to make other researchers in the AI community
more aware of the needs and opportunities
  coming out of the specific context provided by agricultural domain. The topics
covered by the session include but certainly not limited to:
•  AI and Agricultural commodities
•  Expert Systems
•  Pests and Disease Forewarning System
•  Rough sets and Fuzzy sets in Agricultural Domain
•  Statistical vs. AI Techniques in Agriculture
•  AI in Identification of Socio Economic Categories
•  Artificial Neural Networks and Agriculture
•  Scope and Potential of GA in Agriculture
•  AI and Plant/Animal Biotechnology
•  AI in Forecasting
•  Uncertainty Handling in Agriculture

Paper Submission and Publication:
Authors are encouraged to submit the papers for this session as an email
attachment to the Session Chair given below. The papers should be in MSWORD,
PDF, or PS format and should be formatted according to the Springer Lecture
Notes instructions. The length of a paper should not exceed 20 pages. Shorter
papers or papers on the work currently in progress are also welcome. The first
page of the paper should contain the title, name(s) of the authors,
affiliations, the postal and email addresses, and at least 3 keywords
appropriate to the content of the paper. Further information regarding the paper
submission can be obtained from the conference website too.

Each paper will be peer reviewed by at least two experts in the topical area.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under the
title of the session.

You may contact the General Chair of the conference for any additional
information.

He I am doing B.E(Electronics & communacation). I am intrested to do
some projects on robotics plz if U  have, sent it through mail
attchment

Here is a program which generates the integer value of natural
language numbers, e.g. nine hundred twenty eight million two thousand
fourteen --> 928,002,014. The grammar can be extended to cover numbers
in any language. The next step is to write a dataset for solving
simple word problem.
