Since I have limited experience with c/c++, but some ability to transliterate other programs to Java, I decided to build a Java version of AtomSpace solely to better understand how AtomSpace is supposed to work. The project is far from functional but already is helping me understand this platform. The code is at https://github.com/KnowledgeGarden/krr-explorer
My ambition might be similar to that of the OpenCog community, but I'll explain a few bits. The project is now named OpenSherlock (started life as SolrSherlock but migrated away from Solr in other directions). Fundamentally, the object which is AtomSpace in OpenSherlock is a topic map; working on a PhD project, I asked the question; could a topic map learn to and by reading? After defending the thesis proposal, I crafted a topic map simulator which, in fact, performed far better than expected, so that grew up to be OpenSherlock. An emerging explanation of that project is taking shape in this early draft manuscript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kj9fe96srHhA5GOscYglR5XDLy8jEIHdWCZVNGMSXeI/edit?usp=sharing I chose to explore AtomSpace because OpenSherlock was first inspired by LinkGrammar; it is called *anticipatory* for a reason. AtomSpace, for me, is like Disneyland; so much to explore, so little time. Cheers, -Jack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
