Web Program D & Haptek Integration

2008-10-08T23:16:49Z

Hi I am doing a web application where program D is the AIML engine and Haptek being the graphic interface. Is there a good way to integrate these 2 programs together so that the conversations will be speaked out by the haptek avatar?

I have also been trying to send user input by pressing 'enter' but it seems that the voice reply by the Haptek avatar does not sync and usually tend to delay by 1 answer or even just repeat the same answer? Is there a getaround or good solution for this? thanks.

Programd and Mysql

2008-09-07T03:47:52Z

Hi,

I've got some problems connecting programd to mysql for logging and store aiml files into database.
I've followed the instructions in the programd website, but it doesn't write anything into the db, neither print any error messages.
<entry key="programd.database.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1</entry>
This is the line in core.xml
I've also tried:
<entry key="programd.database.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/dbname</entry>
But it doesn't work, neither logs, nor triggers, are written into the db.
Does anybody can help me?
I've to put all this in my thesis and I don't have so much time so quick reply are really appreciated! :)

Fail to deploy War file compiled from source code

2008-02-19T14:13:23Z

Hi, I've been trying to find a solution for this for a few days now. Hopefully someone here could help me out, it's my last resource ;-)

Here's what I did:
- download the source code distribution 4.6
- run Ant. It produces the 2 jar files. (from the default build.xml)
- change first line in build.xml to <project default="war" basedir="."> to get a war file
- run Ant. It successfully produces a war file.
- go to Tomcat manager and deploy that war file. Result in error:

type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Using 2 bots

2008-02-08T09:12:50Z

I want to use 2 bots using diferents talktobots pages

I have the AIML files

The bot.xml an properties.xml

files configured but I don't know how to said to my page which bot to use

Re: ProgramD, newbie

2008-01-17T16:12:13Z

*****************************************************************
I am a newbie using ProgramD.
I successfully installed it on my Linux machine and I can run simple-consle
and simple-gui-console.

But I do not know how to talk with the SampleBot. e.g. I get the following
messages:

[YourBot] user> hi
[2006-05-06 13:12:29,844] WARN: No match found for path "hi".
[2006-05-06 13:12:29,845] INFO: apus -> SampleBot: "hi"; SampleBot -> apus: ""
YourBot>

Therefore I have 3 questions:
1) how can I talk to a bot
***********************************************************************

I am having the same problem but I am Running Windows XP

The Keyword DONT

2007-10-28T05:39:39Z

A pattern is not matching if it contains the keyword DONT.

Is it a reserved word or something? How do I know what to use and what not to use while typing the text for patterns.

I also need a pattern like "select one from the group (a,b,d,c)!" how do I handle the paranthesis and exclamation characters.

Thanks so much.

Organizing AIML files in ProgramD

2007-10-28T05:19:59Z

I am writing content in AIML. There will be hundreds of categories. I know I use TOPIC tag where appropriate but how do I organize the AIML files.

1. Write all in one large AIML file?

2. Write based on some subject matter classification?

What are the implications? I am going to use ProgramD in a multi-user website.

General questions library

2007-10-28T03:10:50Z

Is there any pre-developed AIML to handle general stuff so that I can concentrate on building the real contnet. For example, when the user types in a bad word and nothing else, i would like to define something like say "well lets talk about the real subject my friend" for "all bad words". Similarly when the user says very general words like "so", i would like to say "so what?".

Is there any generic content that can be reused for all this?

Using ProgramD example JSPs

2007-10-28T01:19:58Z

I have downloaded the latest 4.6 version of ProgramD andhave the following questions:

1. It is using some DWR functionality for AJAX. This is working fine in FireFox but not in IE. Is this a known problem (it says Object Error when submit is clicked).

2. If I use ProgramD in my commercial site to answer my customers' queries, is it allowed and should I show any messages/logos of ProgramD in that page?

3. I have powerful servers but still want to know if ProgramD war file can handle multiple different concurrent users to the site (especially maintaining the set_ values separately for each session)? Is there anything that is not obvious that I need to be aware of?

Well, I am hoping that members here could have the answers and await them. I have searched the existing posts before this one -

Re: Javascript to manipulate document objects

Noel

do you have any sample of what I'm trying?
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("www.yahoo.es")
</script>

I'm using the rebecca pluging for ecplipse, since I put the <script> tag, it is markes as an error.

Even that, when I try on the iexplorer, the code above does not work, pleas I need to do this kind of things so show some images to the user.

Re: ProgramD and Tomcat on Windows

2007-10-10T10:02:16Z

Up,

Noel can you help me?

Re: Javascript to manipulate document objects

2007-10-10T10:01:02Z

Thank you Noel

but I've tried this before

for example, as you wrote

<category>
<pattern>STARTUP</pattern>
<template>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("www.yahoo.es")
</script>
<javascript>

var hoy = new Date();
var horaActual = hoy.getHours();
var texto = "me llamo Hugo, su asistente virtual para atenderle en
los problemas que pueda tener. Para poder responder, expliqueme
brevemente el problema";
if(horaActual >=19)
"buenas noches " + texto;
if(horaActual >=12)
"buenas tardes " + texto;
if(horaActual >=1)
"Buenos días " + texto;
</javascript>
<think><set name="topic">IDENTIFICAR</set></think>
</template>
</category>

On the iexplorer I get an [Object error] alert and I get this on the
programD Activity.log

[2007-10-10 17:56:42,500] WARN: No match found for path "STARTUP".
[2007-10-10 17:56:42,500] INFO: E1026943C66E236CB5E81BA4F7865BA8 ->

If I delete the <script> part, it works fine

any idea?

Re: Javascript to manipulate document objects

2007-10-10T09:43:48Z

AIML's javascript element allows you to run server-side Javascript. If
you want to deliver javascript to the client side, just include it in an
HTML <script/> element, like

<script type="text/javascript">
...your script
</script>

as part of the template.

Subject: [programd] ProgramD and Tomcat on Windows
From: "Attila" <attila@...>

Hello,

I need some help installing the war file into tomcat and starting it.
Tomcat takes the war file correclty but when I try to Start it, it gives me the follow error:
"FAIL - Application at context path /programd could not be started"
And looking the tomcat log files I can see:
"15-ago-2007 19.56.18 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
GRAVE: Context [/programd] startup failed due to previous errors
15-ago-2007 19.58.14 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
GRAVE: Error listenerStart"

I've read in the aitools guide that I've to change the path of the core.xml but I don't know what to put(absolute or relative path?), and I don't know how to rebuild the war file.
Does anybody can tell me how to do it?
Or does anybody can tell me how to start programd in tomcat on windows step by step?
Tnx in advance, this will be part of my university thesis :)

Sincerely,
Riccardo

Pop-up windows using Program D

2007-06-29T13:02:23Z

I am currently testing the Program D distribution "out of the box" on Windows XP, with no custom code, jsp, or html. I am trying to pop up a window through the Program D application. To do this I added the following to the aiml.aiml file in the C:\var\ProgramD\resources\testing directory:

<category>
<pattern>GOOGLE *</pattern>
<template>
<![CDATA[">]]> Google Search <![CDATA[]]>
</template>
</category>

When I try to run this in IE I get an "object error". I then run this through Firefox with Firebug enabled and it does not work there either. Breakpoints in programd.js show that the response is null.

I have tried many variations of the above, and also have tried popping up a window with the "<script language="JavaScript)" tags with the same results.

<category>
<pattern>SAY HI</pattern>
<template>
<script language="javascript">window.alert('hi!');</script>
</template>
</category>

I have verified that javascript is enabled in core.xml:

<entry key="programd.javascript-allowed">true</entry>

Does anyone see any reason why this does not work?

Thanks!

aiml properties in programd

2007-06-21T13:17:03Z

hi there,

is there any chance to access properties set in AIMLs via the
programD api?

Core.getBot(botName).getProperties() returns only properties set a la Core.getBot(botName).setProperty("foo")

thanks in advance

Re: What is the top-level per-user container object?

2007-05-09T17:29:05Z

My concern is with multiple users chatting at the same time with the same bot on the same server. I want to be able to store information unique to each user somewhere safe, where it won't be mixed with information from any other user currently chatting with the bot. Just as PredicateMaster stores strings on a per user/per bot basis, I want to be able to do the same thing with objects.

Ideally, I'd prefer not to do it the way PredicateMaster does, where all user info is mixed in to a single object and indexed by user_id (and bot_id). I'd rather have an object that is created newly for each user who starts a session. Is there such an object anywhere in the system like that?

I hope that clears things up.

Thanks!

Re: Two stars getting combined into one???

2007-05-09T15:00:28Z

This probably has to do with whitespace handling, not the two turning
into a single star, though I'm not sure I follow what you're showing
with the output there. What version of the code are you using, by the way?

Re: What is the top-level per-user container object?

Depends on what you mean by session. If you're talking about the app
server's session, you can get to that independently of Program D. Can
you provide a few more details about what you're trying to do?

Two stars getting combined into one???

2007-05-03T16:50:54Z

I'm having trouble making sense of the AIML recursion. Is this AIML wrong?

<category>
<pattern>SWAPPROPERTY * *</pattern>
<template>
<set name="first"><star/></set>
<set name="second"><star index="2"/></set>

Here is the output, showing some debugging information. Note how the two stars,
"first" and "second", end up being concatenated into a single
string, "firstsecond". And then the second star ends up blank.

[YourBot] JUDGE> swap first for second
Multiplexor: responding to [swap first for second] for nbl SampleBot....
Multiplexor.getReply: responding to [swap first for second] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond

Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [swap first for second] on topic SWAPPROPERTY

Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond....
stars found: [SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond]
Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [RANDOM PICKUP LINE] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond....

So, my question is, why do the two stars turn into one concatenated star? Is my AIML broken, or is this a bug?

Update on z/os implementation

2007-04-25T12:08:21Z

I was able to use the aaa-2006-05-11.tar.gz aiml set but with some minor
modifications which I would like to share. These probably would only make
sense to another mainframer.

After untar/unzipping, I could not view the aiml files in Unix Systems
Services or through DFS (Samba) until I issued the change tag command one
time against all of the aiml files. Example: "chtag -tc ISO8859-1 *.aiml".

I also had to insure that in my shell profile, I needed to export this
variable set to "ON", "_BPXK_AUTOCVT". Being that z/OS can handle many
different forms of data, EBCDIC, ASCII, etc, the AUTOCVT insures that
translation is automatically on. I think most shops have this on.

I also had to remove the "encoding=" parameter from each of the <?xml
version='1.0'?> statements at the beginning of each file. If left in the
file, it is rejected with a "Content is not allowed in prolog." message as
ProgramD starts under Tomcat. I believe this is a function of the z/OS XML
parser, version 1.7 was used.

As a convenience, I had placed the aiml directory in a private HFS
accessible through Samba, rather than in a "var" directory". This makes it a
little more easy to get to for editing than a system HFS.

ProgramD runs fast and works great!

Thanks!

Dave

environment. The software particulars are z/OS 1.7, Java 1.5.0 (64-bit),
JZOS launcher 2.0, Tomcat 6.0.10, and of course, ProgramD at 4.6rc2.

I ran all of the individual tests in the AIML test set through without
incident through the web interface. I did not enable the user console, just
the web interface.

I haven't done anything with an AIML set like AAA. I was more interested in
seeing the program run correctly than have a "conversation".

Since I don't get an opportunity to post to this list very often, the only
general suggestion I would make is that it would be nice to establish a
methodology for passing externally set data to the program. For instance, if
I wanted to monitor temperature or humidity, or perhaps the position of a
stepper motor, then I could see some real keen robotics applications being
developed using this program as an AI engine.

Thanks for a great program!

Dave

Re: Raw parsing

2007-04-16T18:39:59Z

I just got back to this, but I don't see how to modify substitutions.xml to allow email addresses or phone numbers. I don't see, for example, an at-sign, even though it vanishes by the time I get it in the GetProcessor. Can you please explain further?

Also, is there a way to get the raw input? I'm thinking that's going to be necessary, anyway.

Thanks,
Rascal

You can control this from the input substitutions (see
substitutions.xml). Just remove/modify the offending regexes.

Raw parsing

2007-03-25T14:11:36Z

I've found that if I type an email address into ProgramD, it gets broken up into pieces. Same with a phone number.

Is there any way to either do a regex to spot such entities and keep them whole, or to get at the raw input, so I can recover these items myself?

Thanks,
Rascal

Jetty

2007-03-16T02:47:33Z

Hi!

I would like to know how to setup new Program D 4.6 with Jetty server. I want to use Jetty instead of
Apache Tomcat because proxing to port 80 doesnt work with Tomcat for some reason.

Thank you for help.

Igor

Re: Problems with foreign characters (portuguese)

Yes, Linux uses UTF-8 everywhere by default, so it's a lot easier to
deal with this kind of stuff. If you are using a localized version of
Windows, it's going to default to some Microsoft character set for that
language, which may be something like what I mentioned below.
