Hi,
The pure pattern miner test is a pure OpenCog thing, doesn't require the
Unity3d game project. It has two modes, a single machine mode, and a
distributed mode, see
http://wiki.opencog.org/wikihome/index.php/Pattern_Miner They both
have been merged into the main Opencog branch before the end of last
year. If you follow this wiki page, please use the one in the main
branch. But because I haven't checked it again since this year, so maybe
some parts in OpenCog it depends on have changed and the Pattern Miner
is still last year's version. I will try to test it again later when I
have time.
Yes, the current developing branch is integrating with the Embodiment
client to recognize patterns by unsupervised learning from other
scripted NPCs' behaviour in the Unity3d game world for a demo in my PhD
thesis. Because I got the impression that the new Embodiment system is
in Ros now, and it is for connecting to the robots instead of Unity3d
game world. There are 3 reasons I chose to use the old embodiment +
unity3d game world:
1. The demo I am making is to do unsupervised learning from a noisy and
multi-contextual environment, needs to be easy to script the NPC agents
to do a lot of random different high level actions, like walk to
something, pick up something, eat something, drop something, even using
magic to heal someone, open chests with a key....It will be hard to
script a lot of NPC robots to do all of these.
2. If we want to connect the Pattern Miner to current robotic project,
it will also require a computer vision processor to recognize low-level
robotic actions first before all the perceived knowledge can all be
turned into Atoms in the AtomSpace, which I assume won't become matured
and work perfectly with the whole OpenCog in near future.
3. For a more visible complete demo, after the Pattern Miner found a
pattern it need a planner to work together to use the new found pattern
in planning, and then a new plan can be sent to the client for
execution. Since I am not there anymore, and to debugging the planner
and the whole action execution pipeline from OpenCog embodiment to a
robot and feedback to OpenCog is very difficult for me. And is probably
also require a lot of complex robotic mechanism implementation which I
am not good at.
But once the perceiving modules and action execution modules are all
implemented and integrated well with the robots and OpenCog, it should
not be hard to integrate my current developing stuff with the new
Embodiment system.
BTW, for anyone who is interested about what exactly my current demo can do:
*The motivation:*
Any other kinds of learning in AI all require manually pick the learning
materials, examples for a certain task for the agent to learn from. But
real human level intelligence is able to just observe the whole world,
without pre-assigned any tasks, just learning every useful things from
the world. And once a new task is given, a human can search their memory
and find out a solution to solve it. It's also different from sequence
recognize, a sequence for a task is not always continuous, it can be
disturbed. So the Pattern Miner is aiming at figure out the cause and
effect for every single action, and then using planning / reasoning to
make them into a sequence when given a task.
*The demo content: *
There are two different tasks in the game world: open a chest, heal an
animal.
There are a lot of NPCs doing random actions including the two tasks
in the game world at the same time, for example: NPC A first pick up an
apple; and then walk to a rabbit, apply healing magic to heal it; walk
to a yellow key; walk around randomly; drop or eat the apple; walk to a
yellow chest; open the yellow chest with the yellow key it is holding.
At some point, give the AI agent a goal: open the black chest. Then it
would be able to know from Pattern Miner that using the same color of
key can open the same color of chest. If given a goal to heal the cat
instead, the AI agent will also know from the Pattern Miner that
applying healing magic to an animal can heal it.

Nil, among other factors, she is using a lot of the old Embodiment
code that you deleted from the master branch...
However, the Pattern Matcher itself should not rely on any of this old
Embodiment code, so I think she could likely merge her improved PM
into master...
What she is doing (among other things) is using the PM to recognize
patterns in the Atomspace resulting from a game character's
perceptions and actions, where the game character is running around in
the old Unity3D game world, controlled by the old Embodiment
There is no conceptual reason not to just port all this to Minecraft,
but Shujing hasn't had time to do that, as she's been doing this work
in a hurry as it's part of what she needs to do to finish her PhD
thesis...
At least the above is my understanding; Shujing can correct me if
I'm wrong!
