The 'Jarvis Push'
« on: January 18, 2015, 11:10:48 pm »
A project aiming to change the way we look at A.I. and kickstart the era of true intelligence and robotics.

Greetings dear A.I. and robotics enthusiasts! I am new to this forum however I would like to skip introductions and avoid wasting your time as you will need it if you're going to invent the future!
I would like to present to you a project I have been thinking about ever since I got inspired by the movie Iron Man (2008) and help prove several theories I have conceived since.

The key theory I would like to present and eventually prove is that our mind does not function similarly to a computer's processing unit, yet it functions exactly like it. Specifically, every action that we take and every conclusion that we make is derived through a long path of very basic logical operations. Now I may not be a researcher with a diploma yet, but I believe that everyone is a researcher in his own way, and I have in fact given this topic a tremendous amount of thought.
I have not, and cannot directly prove this theory to everyone as the technology is not here yet, neither do I have the money to simulate a brain with a super-computer cluster to prove it can replicate some human-like neural processes, however I do believe I have proven it to myself.
If you take the time to backtrace every single one of your thoughts and actions, even the ones that make no sense whatsoever, you will find out that you took in quite a few 'variables' and ran them through an 'equation' and found a logical answer to your 'problem'.

It took me 12 pages in Word to explain this concept in it's entirety, so forgive me if this is not 'short and clear'.
The reason I came here is to meet some other A.I. researchers and programmers to exchange ideas and eventually build a team which will help finish the program I have started making.

I would like to know if there is any programmers out there who are looking to join such a project (for the moment its non-profit i'm afraid), as I lack the advanced-ish skills required for the task of making a program such as Jarvis. I have already worked most of it out with pseudo-code and the most of the base has already been written with C++, I lack now the code which will let this program chunk through terrabytes of data in the form of databases.
In faith of keeping this article shorter, I would gladly answer the many questions this will raise in replies.

Best wishes to all!  :)

there are lots of open source code programs out either especially at source forge you can take a look at to program. There are even actual courses you can take online to study about them.
So sue me

Welcome Ultron7! It's always nice to have a new visitor to our site!

I too really liked the Iron Man movies. I thought it was really On The Cutting Edge kind of stuff and it also showed many possibilities that are now becoming reality.

We can't do everything from the movie just yet as a lot of it was just Sci-Fi, Hollywood effects and such but given time, we'll be surprised at what develops!

Good luck with your venture as well!! Nice to see you here! O0
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

Thank you for the suggestion DemonRaven, however I find it pretty difficult to understand other people's coding, and when it comes to larger programs it would take me the same time to learn a new language :)

Though that is not quite it. My concept involves taking a different approach to A.I. development, hence why I cannot extract code fragments from existing projects such as ELIZA and the alike.

Besides, my program is nearly done (well, the main C++ part of it) however much of the ingenuity lies in the structure of the database and the way the bot would retrieve the data efficiently. This very DB structure is an experiment to help prove a little theory of how our mind actually makes up a reply pattern and the C++ parts guides it to find the right words (again, from a different database).

And ironically, as I mentioned before, databases and wrappers  are alien to me (as in, hostile aliens)...

P.S. Art, allow me to change your mind about not being able to bring some of those Sci-Fi elements to life: http://www.iflscience.com/technology/ultrasound-used-create-3d-shapes-mid-air-can-be-seen-and-felt

Welcome. You know, I've seen a fair few Jarvis home automation projects, and I've seen the Iron Man movies many times over, and what keeps surprising me is that the things Jarvis does don't require much intelligence. The whole wake-up scene for instance is something you could program with a few voice Macros and weather plug-ins, already featured in various Smartphones, Rainmeter desktops and home automation systems. Every time I try to add some "personal assistent" abilities like in the movies to my AI project, I end up getting it done without intelligent coding. Voice recognition? Plug-in. Vision? OpenCV code ready to go. Waking me up in the morning, turning on a light and reporting the weather? Timer, timer, and speech-outputting a website. (I actually haven't done the last one but I've seen youtube videos of that)
I take it you're going for something other than personal assistance though, from your descriptions.
CO2 retains heat. More CO2 in the air = hotter climate.

I am indeed taking it to the next level. I was a beta-tester for a while here: http://jarvis.ai-dot.net/ (Originally Jarvis, then MVC now LINKS), however the project was not going anywhere as they were focusing on making the GUI lest resource heavy but yet more flashy and the ability for users to share pre-defined command sets so I left.
The program they made was kind of expandable I guess, as you could connect custom batch files to a custom command and do pretty much anything involving home and system automation. However it was in no way AI and most of the work was manual.

My inspiration is Jarvis, but my goal is something much more like Data (from Star Trek, not the moderator :P ).

I have sifted a lot of concepts since my original one, and if I were a bit more literate I would share my 12-page research 'conclusion', but I guess for now i'l gradually share my ideas from post to post :)

P.S. Home automation? That's not even high-tech anymore :P

P.P.S. Because of the 'fair few Jarvis projects' you have seen, I am having trouble naming my project :(
