Ive read that OpenCyc will handle natural language. Are there plans for conversations at some point?
Yes. There are plans for OpenCyc to be able to understand and generate natural language. Right now (April 2002) OpenCyc has NL generation, but not parsing. Some of the work for making conversations with OpenCyc possible will come from the OpenCyc community. You can easily generate NL with OpenCyc. We have an API gateway — it’s not in the API docs yet — for NL generation. Try this in SubL: (generate-phrase #$France) OpenCyc will return: France Try this in SubL: (generate-phrase #$UnitedStatesOfAmerica) OpenCyc will return: the United States generate-phrase will also take assertions as arguments. Try this in SubL: (generate-phrase ‘(#$isa #$UnitedStatesOfAmerica #$Nation)) OpenCyc will return: the United States is nation OpenCyc speaks Engish but does not understand much English yet. We will give you api calls to our parsers in later releases. Full Cyc already has thousands of idiomatic templates.
