AI Dialog Software Application

Description The experimental AI Dialog software application is able to build a mental model from a plain English dialogue using speech or textual input. Subsequently, comprehension and logical capability may be tested using plain English queries. AI Dialog is used to experimentally test the validity and utility of a novel software application design, as a path to Artificial General Intelligence, sometimes referred to as Strong Artificial Intelligence or Conversational Artificial Intelligence. The theory behind AI Dialog is fully described in the book: Belch, Francis R. (2023) Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach, available from: Amazon.com (from September 2023). A short demonstration of the AI Dialog software application is available from YouTube®, and entitled: Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – AI Dialog Demonstration. There are also two YouTube® lectures each of about 1 hour duration describing the radical new approach to Artificial General Intelligence used to implement the AI Dialog software application. These are: Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – Part I Sentence Semantics. Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – Part II Dialogues and Mental Models. This is a free download of the executable of the AI Dialog Software Application Version 4.1 Alpha release. This version supersedes Version 3.2 to allow speech as well as textual user input. The AI Dialog software is protected by international copyright, but is made available to use for non-commercial personal study purposes. The application will run on Windows 10® PC, Laptop and Tablet systems, and requires about 1 M byte of memory. The download file is zipped and needs to be unzipped. After this, the content of the folder AI Dialog 4.1 Alpha Release is: • Application Files (Folder) • Documentation (Folder) • NLP2016Autumn (Manifest) • Setup (Application) In the Documentation folder are two PDF files: • Copy Of Tuition Lessons (PDF) • Specification (PDF). The first is a hard copy of the tuition lessons. The second is a specification of a subset of English for use with the AI Dialog system. However, there is no need to consult either of these initially, as AI Dialog incorporates a quick start tuition module. To install AI Dialog, double click the Setup file. This starts AI Dialog immediately after installation, but places an application icon on the Windows 10® Start list for restarting later. After AI Dialog starts, just follow the speech or pop-up message instructions, which lead to quick start interactive tuition modules, fully describing how to use the application.说明 本实验性AI Dialog应用软件可通过语音或文本形式的纯英文对话构建心智模型（mental model），随后可通过纯英文查询测试其理解能力与逻辑推理能力。 AI Dialog的研发目标为通过实验验证一款新型应用软件设计的有效性与实用价值，该设计是通往通用人工智能（Artificial General Intelligence，AGI，又称强人工智能或会话式人工智能）的可行路径之一。 AI Dialog背后的理论体系已在专著中完整阐述：Belch, Francis R. (2023) 《通用人工智能——新路径》（Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach），该书自2023年9月起可在Amazon.com平台获取。 AI Dialog应用软件的简短演示视频可在YouTube®平台获取，视频标题为：《通用人工智能——新路径——AI Dialog演示》。 另有两段时长约1小时的YouTube®讲座，详细介绍了用于开发AI Dialog软件的通用人工智能全新研究范式，具体如下： • 《通用人工智能——新路径——第一部分：语句语义学》 • 《通用人工智能——新路径——第二部分：对话与心智模型》 本次提供的是AI Dialog软件4.1 Alpha测试版可执行文件的免费下载资源。相较于此前的3.2版本，该版本新增了语音输入功能，支持文本与语音两种用户输入形式。 AI Dialog受国际版权法保护，仅可用于非商业性个人学习用途。 本应用可在搭载Windows 10®系统的个人电脑、笔记本电脑及平板设备上运行，所需内存约为1兆字节。下载文件为压缩包，需先解压。解压后，AI Dialog 4.1 Alpha Release文件夹内包含以下内容： • 应用程序文件（文件夹） • 文档资料（文件夹） • NLP2016Autumn（清单文件） • 安装程序（应用程序） 文档资料文件夹内包含两份PDF格式文件： • 《课程讲义副本》（PDF） • 《规范说明》（PDF） 前者为课程讲义的纸质扫描副本，后者为适配AI Dialog系统的英语子集使用规范。由于AI Dialog内置了快速入门教学模块，初始使用时无需查阅上述两份文档。 安装AI Dialog时，双击安装程序文件即可启动安装流程。安装完成后，软件将自动启动，并在Windows 10®开始菜单中创建应用图标，便于后续快速重启。软件启动后，只需按照语音提示或弹窗消息指引操作，即可进入快速入门交互式教学模块，完整掌握本应用的使用方法。
