[Wintermute-devel] A logical explanation.

2011-05-17 Thread danteash...@gmail.com
This email is written to clarify the SII's trustees decision, in the hopes
that you will understand why we have done what we've done.

A few days ago, hajour (the TL of SpeechControl) made a couple of
accusations;

1. That NRWlion was at UDS in Budapest, working as a Nokia 'spy' against
open-source programs.
2. That NRWlion might of been the hacker/leak in Jacky's and Undi's
computers.
3. That CensoredBiscuit hacked her Facebook account.

Hajour made it quite clear that the person at UDS had NRWlion's face, and
also told her his name, and his IRC name.

Obviously, the implications of these accusations (especially for NRWlion)
are immense. So let's break down the possible explanations for the
accusations against NRWlion;

1. NRWlion was at UDS, he was indeed spying for Nokia, (and seems to of made
the very sloppy mistake of showing his face at UDS and publicly admitting
himself.)
2. NRWlion was NOT at UDS, but an imposter with the same face, name and IRC
name was.
3. Hajour is purposefully telling a lie. (Potentional reasons will be
discussed below)
4. Hajour is accidently telling a lie (the difference between this one and
point 3. being that Hajour saw NRWlion, but it was only in her mind)

My first run through of checking these was not of fact checking, but simple
counting. There are three extrapolations of logic that go against her, and
only one that goes with her. Generally, whichever has the most reasons is
the correct approach, but this method is not fool-proof, so using it by
itself is incorrect.

I then calculate other events that have occurred here; Hajour's first
mistake was making accusations on her word alone. As I have learnt recently,
in the past she has accused others of smaller (but equally malicious, as you
see with the accusation against CensoredBiscuit) acts. For someone who has
this reputation, evidence is everything.

Her second mistake was more like a breach in etiquette; she had damaging
information about a team-member in another team. The TL should of been
directly (not indirectly) informed.

I am aware Hajour has impairments related to her mental health; common side
effects of her condition include paranoia, and in extreme cases,
delusions, hallucinations and psychotic episodes are known to occur. (And
can also occur with most medications proscribed for it)  so I feel that this
must also be calculated. I also know she only sometimes takes her
medication, and doing so with medication designed to operate with the mind
is dangerous, as it can amplify the effects of the condition being treated,
as well as the side effects of the medication.

I also feel that  bears a grudge against the SII, and this must also be
calculated. (The evidence for the grudge appeared in my last conversation
with her, before I and her split.)

Now, to follow a logical chain on one of the possibltiles;, working on the
assumption that she was lieing to us, and that she has a grudge, I can make
the following extrapolations of data:

*Hajour purposefully injected FUD into the SII, as per her grudge, in an
attempt to harm us. Providing Jacky with the information, as she knew we had
no backup head of dev, where the most damage could of occurred. This would
explain her breach in etiquette, as well as using her relationship with
Jacky to make him believe it in the absence of facts. (As this was
a potential reason, myself, Phillw and Jacky asked for a separation)*
*We did not do what was predicted (keeping an eye on NRWlion
for suspicious behavior, becoming secretive, increasing the level of
Fear/Uncertitanty/Doubt in the group and, as it grew, turning us against
each other) and instead we (the trustees) asked people to withdraw from one
of the groups, all the while explaining the situation.*
*
*
*As this attack failed, hajour had a choice; either admit what happened, or
deflect it and lie about the lie. As she (and UndiFineD) are working with
NRWlion in an attempt to locate this Imposter, it appears, from this logical
chain, that she chose to deflect it. It should also be noted that she
refused to talk to either him (in the early stages) or me, and doing so
could be seen as an admission of guilt.*
*
*
*Considering that there was a grudge, her method of attack is a good way of
taking a team down.*


I would like to personally add that making accusations without evidence, and
finding them to be incorrect, is almost always a good reason to step down
from a TL position.

Another logical chain is this;

*Hajour's condition caused her to see things, or indeed, believe things that
weren't there. She came to a correct logical conclusion, but the premises
that made up that logic were false. (Her perception of the world was
incorrect). I don't know if her medication (or lack thereof) or condition
played a part here, but I am sure one of them is responsible. This logical
chain increases in probability as you consider she made accusations against
others, which, on occasion, have also been proven to be incorrect (but so
far never

[Wintermute-devel] The current state of speech recognition.

2011-06-29 Thread danteash...@gmail.com
Right, everyone.

Not everyone is familiar with speech recognition, so here are a few basic
elements, facts and some notes on the three 'champions'.

Open-source speech recognition systems could be better. There really are
only two contenders, described below.

GnomeVoiceControl et al either failed and died because of the complexity of
this technology, or could only make sense out of small (normally one-word)
commands which limited their usefulness.

Speech recognition is a hideously advanced technology, and NO-ONE has
perfected it yet; though many (commercial) companies are close to doing so;

Most Android devices have the capacity to record and send snippets of voice
data back to Google to be analysed and sent back to the device as text.
These snippets are very limited, and only sometimes accurate; this is most
likely the result of Google's system (licensed from Nuance Communications)
not being trained to each voice.

Speech recognition requires a low-noise environment (or a very good, but
expensive, microphone to deal with that issue). Only 'trained' systems can
really make any sense out of a human speaking normally (like Dragon, for
instance); for the best accuracy, you have to speak in a flat, mono-tone
voice, and do so very clearly and distinctly.

Speech recognition systems generally require two distinct models to operate;
the first is a vocal model, which will pick up human speech (as distinct
from environmental sounds) and in some systems these vocal models can be
trained to better recognize users or better recognize (and ignore) sounds
from their environments. The second is the language model, which sifts
through the data filtered from the vocal model and ascribes sounds to words.
There are currently no complete GPL models. (This is why VoxForge lives)

I am currently unaware of any speech recognition system capable of
recognizing and identifying multiple users at the same time; this system
will need to be built for Wintermute.

Both Microsoft and Apple's operating systems have inbuilt speech recognition
systems.

This technology is nowhere near as simple as a file browser or a music
player; in terms of complexity, it's on the same level of complexity as an
operating system kernel; you need a HELL of a lot of knowledge to build it.

Below are my notes for the three speech recognition engines; the first two
are open-source, the last is not, but we can learn, at least from a
user-experience level, where we should generally be heading from it.

In terms of licenses, both systems are open source; "Just the usual "include
this notice and disclaimer", with the addition of "if you edit the code, say
when and by whom" for Sphinx."

*Sphinx*
1. BSD-licensed project; open-source version.

2. Mostly used as a research project; expect spaghetti code.

3. Functioning models; some parts of it fully in public domain.

4. No GUI; mostly console; third party GUI's available.

5. Latest version is coded with Java.

6. Very, VERY fast recognition.

7. The most complete system available to us.

8. Used by multiple robotics labs around the world.

*Julius*
1. Julius started development in 1997

2. Julius' English models are complete, they are also under the HTK license;
they are not open-source and cannot be redistributed without permission.

3. Julius can only run with HTK models, though there is apparently a F/OSS
one, but it's Japanese (and before you ask; no, it isn't possible to just
're-code' it. It's a model, the whole of it  needs to be re-created

4. Julius itself is open-source, but under what appears to be a custom
license (needs to be checked) if so, this could make things difficult for
us.

5. Used by the open-source 'Q.bo' robotics project.

*Dragon NaturallySpeaking;* a commercial (closed-source) speech recognition
program;
1. Uses some simple tests (volume check, quality check) to make
modifications to audio input.

2. Has no capacity to recognize multiple speakers; it has a number of users
but these require switching between accounts.

3. Has a number of modes (Dictation mode, spell mode, command mode, numeral
mode) as it appears their system is not capable enough
to distinguish between numbers in words, or as numbers. Sometimes it
accidently triggers a command when you meant to dictate something, etc.
These modes have to be manually set. There *is* a: 'normal mode' which can
dictate, spell, enumerate and accept commands, but it's frequency of
misunderstandings is, of course, higher then the pre-set modes.

4. The quality of speech input depends upon the microphone; a microphone
operating in a noisy environment (say, next to a hard-drive, as some laptop
microphones are) is not nearly as effective as a headset microphone.

5. When the program has finished checking volume and quality, it then gets
the user to read aloud a prepared section of speech and, after doing so,
appears to use some form of hidden Markov model to adjust itself.

6. It has functions to pull in and establish the user's writing styl

It wasn't just the modularity of KDE I found beneficial; it is also the
large amount of technology that 'Just Works'; take Okular, KDE's document
viewer. It has support for a HELL of a lot of document files; Evince, it's
GNOME counterpart, can only handle PDF files. It's as much that as the
developmental mindset behind it. The interface will have to be radically
changed, of course; we're dealing with a system where the psychological
effect is far more pronounced, and where most of the work you do with said
system won't be done sitting in front of the computer for hours.

Side-note: with more data pouring into Wintermute, the more useful (and

A primary concern of mine is not only having an Ontology, but also tools
which can automate it's continued development. If you were to build a bot
with the whole of DBPedia in itself, and get it to run
and categorize natural language articles on Wikipedia; it would get
continually more proficient, requiring less and less human interaction to do
it's job; the trouble there is such a task is computationally expensive;
I've seen it done with machines that cost $30,000, and it took about 6
months to fully 'digest' a single article from Wikipedia.
The alternative method is we simply enter that data manually. The CYC
project has been doing just that, with minor automation support. They've
been at it for almost 40 years (They've gotten some very interesting
statements, too, like "Am I a human?" from the system, apparently) and they
still have a looonnng way to go...so yeah, I think automation is needed
here...

In terms of pure natural language processing; an Ontology can also be
thought of as this; imagine a keyword; this keyword leads to a pure,
unfiltered concept (which in turn, by simple order of presentation, may lead
itself to an entirely different bunch of keywords.) A bunch of keywords
represent both a bunch of concepts, as well as one (or more) other concepts
that arise from the combination of such keywords. To add to this complexity;
there are entirely different meanings generated from multiple groups of
keywords, etc. The 'layers' are not easily distinguishable; it isn't like an
onion: one layer with one group of concepts may lead itself to a layer that
is more or less complex then itself. That layer, in turn, may be able to
support more layers of complexity with certain concepts, whilst only able to
support basic levels of complexity with other concepts. I'm attempting to
think of a good, descriptive term for the entire system. The English
language does not have one; nor does Lojban. Hmm.

Oooh, I know! It's rather like a multidimensional onion, starting with five
dimensions and heading into infinitude.

...come to think of it; that isn't a simple explanation at all...hmmm

Re: [Wintermute-devel] Rolling Release Vs. Versioned.

2011-08-31 Thread danteash...@gmail.com
How exactly do you mean, Adrian? That the packages be .deb (as opposed to
.rpm)?

I do think we should retain versioning;

Lets say we have 1.0.0 released
1.0.1 would lead up to the next minor 'landmark' (when released, all ISO's
etc would default to that)
and 1.1.0 is more of a landmark, rather then a release.

I would like to point out GeoIP is not foolproof; many ISP's (like, for
instance, mine) use Dynamic IP instead of a static one, and change it every
few months. This has the nasty effect of some websites assuming I'm in an
entirely different part of the country (or even another country, rarely)
until I wait about a month for whatever database is updated again. Also,
GeoIP can not really trace you down to a county/city, only to a country at
best.

What would be helpful; especially in the summer heatwaves, would be
Wintermute declaring continued operation is unsafe for it's hardware.
Some weather providers also give pollen and UV index information, which is

I would like to remind you all that, should Wintermute fail to get this data
mining ability; all information will have to be entered manually into it.
Thanks to the wonders of the world; manual input of most data is expected to
take at least 20 years before the Ontology becomes complete enough for use;
nevermind adaptations and modifications being out of the question

Why, Adrian, is it when I look at that picture, I think of an eyeball? :P

Some of the 'senses' can be fed by feeds (RSS, IMAP, etc) surely?

Jacky; I'm afraid I don't have an SVG of it as no matter what I try;
Inkscape keeps giving me white backgrounds with it :-/ All I have is a
fairly large .png . Unless you or someone else can deal with Inkscape (or
another such program) then we're stuck with the png :-/

In terms of the GUI; I feel the first screen is needed; a computer is a
computer. A computer can malfunction. A computer requires repairs; hiding
such information is, IMHO, a bad idea. That isn't the starting screen,
that's just the system saying "We have a problem; have a look!"
Or would you rather Wintermute says "I don't feel well." then won't turn on
again? :P

I have also been considering a few other aspects; animated backgrounds.
(Diagnostic mode hexagon: construction branding between hexagons, etc) which
could give credence to Wintermute's  state (helping to generate rapport
between the user and Winty, especially if we emulate emotion.)

As for the questionnaire; I don't think it requires much more then a
properly written AIML bot. (though with our own runtime for AIML, so it can
parse commands) so that would be very light on resources (and pack it in
with speech synth and basic speech recog for setup/testing purposes)

In terms of how to render this system; that is a bit of a mystery. I don't
exactly want to end up with a system which requires a high-end graphics card
just to run things; perhaps we could cheat with pre-rendered videos?

In the case of Kopete (or any IM program) the change is fairly simple; you
won't have to provide a command, I am rather hoping Wintermute can be made
smart enough to recognize current activity and manage windows as needed.

Trust me, we won't. That would be a major annoyance!

Providing everything goes as planned, neither the mouse nor keyboard would
be used! :D
Of course, the keyboard would be a fallback, and the mouse would have
limited use (not every application can be put under Winty's control; like
the GIMP, for instance)

I thought KWin could do tiling?
We'd be looking at fully automatic management, including opening,
maximizing, minimizing and closing.

Jacky, if that IS possible, I'd marry you. I won't hold my breath, though;
automatic programming didn't get very far, so I can't really comment on it.
I thought we would be limited to Wintermute providing it with individual (or
