/* This package is the parsing system (NLP) for the Guinevere system.
|
||||||
|
This package is split up into 5 different parts, each controlled by
|
||||||
|
modules. This is the file that controls all of the other modules,
|
||||||
|
making sure that the system reacts the way it was configured.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It should be mentioned here, before we start, that this system does
|
||||||
|
not use advanced Machine Learning systems, or anything automagical.
|
||||||
|
It runs entirely on predetermined algorithms, which are fully
|
||||||
|
designed manually, so the system is not infallible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The system can be configured to run in 3 different ways;
|
||||||
|
- As a console application, where it uses stdio to communicate with
|
||||||
|
the user, parsing internally. This is ideal for command-line usage,
|
||||||
|
and was designed purely for testing the system. This is not the
|
||||||
|
intended usage.
|
||||||
|
- As a web server. In this configuration, it starts a web server on a
|
||||||
|
configurable port and listens for incoming connections. This is the
|
||||||
|
intended usage of the Guinevere parsing system, as it can then send
|
||||||
|
out commands to other devices.
|
||||||
|
- As a web client. In this configuration it listens for input over
|
||||||
|
stdin and sends it out to the listen server. This makes developing
|
||||||
|
the main clients considerably faster.
|
||||||
|
Maybe implement this into the Guinevere main clients eventually?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently, the program has 5 sections, as mentioned above:
|
||||||
|
- Input; this is where the 3 modes mentioned above are implemented
|
||||||
|
- Parsing; this is only done if the console app configuration is
|
||||||
|
chosen above. Otherwise, it skips this module.
|
||||||
|
- Evaluation; this is only done in debug mode, in console app
|
||||||
|
configuration. It tries to prepare an output that tells the user how
|
||||||
|
likely it was to pick each module for the given input.
|
||||||
|
- Knowledge; if the output was strange, and if "Define" was the most
|
||||||
|
likely module in Evaluation, it can save time by enabling the
|
||||||
|
Knowledge system to attempt to get a definition of the "Define"
|
||||||
|
keyword from Wolfram|Alpha. Since this cuts down the rate of network
|
||||||
|
access by half, it might improve data usage.
|
||||||
|
- Output; finally, once all of the sections have yielded, it tries
|
||||||
|
to output the requested data in a decent format. If the system is
|
||||||
|
running as a console app, it outputs to STDOUT. If the system is
|
||||||
|
running as a web server, it sends a nicely formatted JSON
|
||||||
|
encoded package to the connected client, or displays said package if
|
||||||
|
running as the client.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Parsing and Knowledge systems connect to various Modules:
|
||||||
|
- Identify: Triggered by "What is", "Who is" and "How do I" questions.
|
||||||
|
It tries to pull a short definition from WikiTL;DR, or redirects to
|
||||||
|
the most appropriate Wiki page if that fails. If the user complains,
|
||||||
|
saying "That wasn't useful", or "Try again", it tries to reach out
|
||||||
|
to Plowie or W|A to get an answer there. If Identify doesn't work,
|
||||||
|
it falls through to the next appropriate module.
|
||||||
|
This is the module expected to be used the most, so it will have
|
||||||
|
the most time put into it.
|
||||||
|
- Control: Triggered by "Set", "Play" or other commands that are
|
||||||
|
deemed to be likely to control or change the state of something.
|
||||||
|
The Guinevere system was originally designed to be used with
|
||||||
|
custom Smart Home electronics and systems, so this will probably
|
||||||
|
be the second most developed system. It will have subsystems for
|
||||||
|
changing the color and intensity of smart lighting, as well as
|
||||||
|
systems for controlling custom Smart Locks eventually.
|
||||||
|
This will not be forseeable for quite a while, though.
|
||||||
|
- System Control: A subsystem of Control, but important enough to
|
||||||
|
require an explanation nonetheless. If Guinevere is eventually
|
||||||
|
integrated within Sync, this module will allow voice control of many
|
||||||
|
internal components of the system. With a builtin passcode, it can
|
||||||
|
also be used to control kernel level things, like multitasking
|
||||||
|
methods and paging control systems. In user-land, it can also be
|
||||||
|
used for dictation input (if you trust my algorithms enough)
|
||||||
|
or for changing user settings, such as keyboard layout, hotkey
|
||||||
|
behaviour, or window manager/compositor settings.
|
||||||
|
Perhaps this interface could eventually be used as an
|
||||||
|
optional replacement for configuration files?
|
||||||
|
- Define: The fallthrough. If the user says a random word, which is
|
||||||
|
not identified as a custom keyword, then the system will ping W|A to
|
||||||
|
get a nicely formatted definition of that word.
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// First is the definition of the common types:
|
||||||
|
/* There are three main classes used in the processing of requests:
|
||||||
|
- First, there is the input. The input is returned by the input
|
||||||
|
detection system, and is used in Processing for determining the
|
||||||
|
Intent.
|
||||||
|
- Second, there is the Intent itself. The Intent is a construction
|
||||||
|
of how likely the input command is to belong to a module. Since
|
||||||
|
the Intent algorithm is an algorithm and not a Machine Learning/
|
||||||
|
Neural Network thing, it can be easily changed and tweaked to match
|
||||||
|
the correct criteria. Out of the Processing system, the intent is
|
||||||
|
used to trigger the correct module and the Intent is then discarded.
|
||||||
|
- The output is a structure which is given from Processing to Output,
|
||||||
|
and is used to generate a nicely formatted output. The output itself
|
||||||
|
is sent around inside the program as a JSON/XML string. I have yet
|
||||||
|
to decide.
