Last month was a big deal, and that
means that this month gets to be REALLY BORING. I worked on
refactoring, bug fixes, and code cleanup the whole time. There's
still a lot to do, but I cleaned out some cobwebs that have been
getting in my face for a long while now.
For instance, I …
Universalized the inverse and
complement forms of concept-relationships
Improved the format of verb transport
from the Parser to the Interpreter, to handle compound verbs better
Generalized Text Interpreter output
formatting
Fixed an issue with verb conjugation
learning
Fixed a Text Parser bug that was
causing some words to be tagged as the wrong part-of-speech
Fixed the TP and TI simulators so they
won't crash when an unknown word is used
Improved and generalized the code that
produces clarifying question loops in a conversation
Fixed a bad bug related to parsing of
possessives
Cleaned up and merged several different
cause-and-effect database search functions
And it all took a lot longer than it
probably sounds like it should have.
June is my “month off,” and then
I'm hoping I can get cracking on some new features again.
Until the next cycle,
Jenny
