ARRRGG!!!. There I go again not fully explaining myself. Lol. Where it says "DELETED" was some components that I deleted. I have to replace them. I ran out of time. I'll do that tonight. I have a couple errands to run then I'll be back to answer your other questions. Btw Q&A is a small part of the whole that will lighten the load of the overall program. It's easy to detect a question and also easy to look up an answer if it's already in a db. :-) Ttyl.

Am I correct in thinking that your just doing a Question & Answer AI project? I don't know how you would use WordNet to rearange or to determine if the question/statement was spoken before? Can WordNet do this? Is it a seperate program that interfaces with WordNet that does this? It's not stupid. It is good to have a place to start and know what your overall goals are. For example here's what I think you are doing: Input is determined to be a question by the AI program. The AI program searches it's Q&A database table and sees if this question was ever asked before. If it was then it spits out the answer. If not, what happens? The same for a statement. Questions: How do you determine if the input is a question and/or a statement? How do you process the input to determine if it was asked or told before? Why do you delete repeat questions and statements? In this situation I would record the question in the questions table, then flag the user who asked it, the # of times they asked it, what the topic was, and maybe other data. For statements I plan on storing them the same way and have the AI learn from them. What I the Administrator tell it will be true no matter what, unless I tell it I was just kidding around or joking. I would also use it to say "John told me a TV is the same as a radio." This is just an example of how what I say is, and what others say it will try to learn by looking it up in the WordNet database, and by asking other users. It will even ask people what I tell it. If it determines everything I say is a lie, then it will lower my GOD weight to a lower mark each time. I want it to rate each source of input (user) on what they say and ask. I only have WordPerfect and MSPaint, so if I do flowchart it will have to be uploaded somewhere. I think we really need a file area sooner rather than later, but I'm not sure I want to open another Yahoo group. Do you know if you will be doing a file upload? If so how soon? Don't mean to rush, but I think if we share ideas like you shared your flow chart that we will move much faster and grow as a whole much quicker in our goals. I think I'll do a flowchart tonight, but I wont have a place to upload it. I might open a yahoo group depending on how soon, or if you are doing the upload thing. This is really good that we are sharing ideas, most AI programmers think they know "secrets" they refuse to share and thus as a society the AI area has not grown as quickly as it could. ** OH I like the idea of your popups for source code (or whatever), but what if you wanted to break the current section up into smaller ones and then have source code for each smaller one? What do you think? Like I want to do the overall plan like you did, but then branch off on each top idea down to lower levels until I get to the source code for that routine.
