Since I can't afford to add wireless networking to my wearable yet, I've been working on a simple rememberance agent. Basically, I want a plain text interface to a database (or a NLP interface to an expert system) but since it has to run on my modest 486, it can't contain things like neural nets or complex learning algorithms, or text understanding (or maybe it could, but none of the usual LISP implementations). Does anyone know if something like this exists? Has anyone tried to write something like this? I have a very simple perl script that I wrote that learns to associate words based on statements I make, for example I can tell it: >my birthday is September 16. and then when I ask: >when is my birthday? September 16. It's like talking to a five year old, but its pretty neat. I also want to be able to give it text files to read and learn, but it needs some extra functionality to do this, like recognizing pronoun references, and being able to parse more complex statements, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
