AI Projects in C on SourceForge

ACORN natural-language lexicon and tools is a project
closely related in purpose and paradigm to the AI Mind.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acorn/ is the summary page.

MultiThreaded CLIPS is a traditional expert system shell
which may eventually morph into a non-traditional Expert Mind
composed not of rules and weights but rather of traditional
mind-structures such as Sensorium, STM (short term memory) and
Motorium. Against the day when the expert systems achieve
consciousness and an encyclopedic knowledge base (KB) for
general expertise and superintelligence beyond human abilities, we
juxtapose our general-purpose AI with MultiThreaded CLIPS.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtclips/ is the summary page.

Neu (neural) Net Work is a project that advances
towards goals set as successive Horizons: H0, H1, H2....
Horizon Zero (H0) was using the first demonstration of a
special neural network. Horizon One (H1) addresses visual
recognition and other tasks described in a to-do list of the
vaguely enigmatic but copiously ample documentation (q.v.).
Potential tie-ins with the AI Mind project include such
possibilities as a port of Mind.Forth into Mind.c using
neural nets to express various Mind modules; implementation
of sensorium/motorium elements as neural nets; and of course
the ever present, just-over-the-horizon goal of coding an AI
that may migrate the 'Net, lodging its alife memory banks and
executive control structures wherever it finds a Web host.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nnw/ is the summary page.

The S.A.N.A Interpreter is a Simple Atomic Natural Associativity
Interpreter for distributed-computing environments, where AI Minds
may one day spread across the 'Net and flood all of Cyberspace
with distributed artificial intelligence. Therefore we follow
the inherent ideas and progress of The S.A.N.A Interpreter.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sana2001/ is the summary page.

TinySoar is an implementation of the Soar artificial intelligence
architecture that is intended to run on memory constrained devices.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinysoar/ is the summary page.

Implementing a Consensus AI Theory

The artificial Mind diagrammed above has already been released at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mind in the Artificial Intelligence category.

Although many of the hundreds of Open Source AI projects at Sourceforge
are technically more advanced than the Mind project and show far better
programming skills than is evident in the Forth and JavaScript AI Mind code,
the Mind project has several features which warrant its consideration
and candidacy as a working model of a seed AI to be ported into C
and other languages already being used in SourceForge AI projects:

Languages of Open Source AI projects at SourceForge

• ada.html Ada
• c.html C programming language
• cpp.html C++
• forth.html Forth
• java.html Java
• js.html JavaScript
• lisp.html Lisp
• perl.html perl
• prolog.html Prolog
• python.html Python
• ruby.html Ruby
• scheme.html Scheme
• st.html Smalltalk
• vb.html Visual Basic

The main attraction of the SourceForge Mind project is that
it is based on a uniquely original, linguistic Theory of Mind:

• theory1.html AI Mind Theory Journal, Part One
• theory2.html AI Mind Theory Journal, Part Two
• theory3.html AI Mind Theory Journal, Part Three
• theory4.html Natural Language through Abstract Memory
• theory5.html Brain-Mind: Know Thyself!

A consideration far less important than having a theory of mind
but still of value for rapid prototyping is the fact that the AI Mind
is thoroughly documented with respect to each mind module:

• Flowchart (essential for programming the AI in a new language)
  
  • mindloop.html flowchart of the main program loop
• Superstructure of Rational Mind (generic AI textbook chapters)
  
  • alife.html -- the main (pre-maspar) artificial life loop
  • security.html -- Security Module for the safety of human and cyborg alike
  • hci.html -- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Module
  • motorium.html -- (Robot Motorium Module)
  • volition -- (Volition Module for free will in robots)
  • think.html -- the Think module
  • english.html -- English Module for thinking in human language
  • ask.html -- Ask Module for asking questions
  • wtauxsdo.html -- wtAuxSDo Module for "what do S do?" questions
  • negsvo.html -- negSVO Module for negation of subject-verb-object syntax
  • auxverb.html -- auxVerb Module for reasoning with auxiliary verbs
  • svo.html -- SVO (subject-verb-object) syntax module
  • conjoin.html -- Conjoin Module for conjunctions ("and", "because", etc.)
  • v-phrase.html -- verbPhrase Module
  • n-phrase.html -- nounPhrase module
  • speech.html -- Speech output/display module
  • reentry.html -- reEntry Module
  • reify.html -- Reify Module
  • emotion.html -- (Emotion in Robots)
  • ego.html -- Ego self-assertion module
  • rejuve.html -- Rejuvenate Module for cyborg immortality
  • enboot.html -- enBoot English bootstrap module
• Sentient Mindgrid and Semantic Memory (see Brain-Mind: Know Thyself!)
  
  • sesorium.html -- Sensorium Module for sensory input
  • audition.html -- Audition Module for a sense of hearing
  • listen.html -- Listen Module for attention to input
  • audstm.html -- auditory Short Term Memory (audSTM)
  • audrecog.html -- audRecog Auditory Recognition comparator
  • gusrecog.html (gusRecog module for gustatory recognition of tastes and flavors)
  • olfrecog.html (olfRecog module for olfactory recognition of smells and odors)
  • tacrecog.html (tacRecog module for tactile recognition of touch and textures)
  • visrecog.html (visRecog for visual Recognition)
  • newcept.html -- newConcept machine learning module
  • oldcept.html -- oldConcept associative memory module
  • parser.html -- Parser Module for language comprehension
  devocab.html deVocab (German vocabulary)
  • envocab.html -- enVocab (English vocabulary) Module
  javocab.html jaVocab (Japanese vocabulary)
  • instiate.html -- Instantiate Module for creation of concept-fiber nodes
  • activate.html -- Activate Module for activation of concepts
  • spredact.html -- spreadAct Module for spreading activation
• Infrastructure of Program Elements
  
  • variable.html Table of AI Variables

  • progman.html Programmer Manual
  • userman.html User Manual
• Stubs for Future Development
  
  • sleep.html sleep
• AI4U Online Index
  
  • ai4udex.html Index

Since the SourceForge Mind already works in a primitive way,
there is no need to reinvent the wheel, and any programmer may
simply port or improve the pre-existing AI Mind source code:

• Mind.html View/ Source/ Artificial Mind in JavaScript
• mind4th.html Mind.Forth free AI source code for robots
