#Github Collaboration process

Collaborating on GitHub can be confusing, especially because cloning a fork on your local machine doesn't clone all of its branches. Here are some instructions that make this process easier.

Fork project on GitHub
cd to desired parent directory on local machine
run git clone [email protected]:user/repo.git
cd into cloned directory.
Add remote upstream by running git remote add upstream [email protected]:user/repo.git with [email protected]:user/repo.git being your fork (that was just cloned).
Now, pull branches from your fork one at a time (ew... gross...) by first creating a new branch: git checkout -b branchname

Eliza and other Chat Bots

Joseph Weizenbaum created the first Chat Bot, Eliza, in 1966.

Classified Artificial Intelligence Projects

The United States Military and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) potentially represent A.I.s biggest funders. For this reason I have chosen to compile a list of resources and documents that contain pertinent information regarding DARPA funding for AI, as well as suspicious or telling cases, rather than outlining a specific organization or event at this time in my research. For now, I am most interested in investigating the office of Silicon Valley Brain Spect Imaging but that may change as I gather more information.

Known DARPA funding for AI

Surveilling Covert Artificial Intelligence and Related Government Projects in the Public Realm

I was perusing the Federal of Information Act (FOIA) 2013 log when I came across an interesting request by one "Matthew LeDoux."

The request was for:

Documents sufficient to establish that DARPA has had a secret relationship with the office of Silicon Valley Brain Spect Imaging in order to conduct secret experiments on patients of that clinic without their consent: These experiments are related to DARPA's goal of developing technologies of artificially reducing the need for sleep

1: "Do you feel better?"

Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms Final

For my final project, I have continued work on the Exchatter framework. Exchatter is a Node.js framework for creating personalized chat bots.

How it works

While Exchatter is far from complete, my project exhibits some of the core algorithms that will be used in the release such as:

Text normalization
Cosine Similarity
Levinshtein Distance

main.js:

var data = {
    foo: "bar",
    val: $('#text-to-send').val()
}

$('#set-text').on('click', function() {
 var $this = $(this);

	void testApp::setSequences(){
	int pixelThreshold = 20; //percent similarity each individual pixel needs to pass
	int imgPercentNeededToPass = 80; //percent of pixels that must pass threshold test
	int checkEveryIncrement = 10; //number of pixels before next pixel comparison
	int maxPixDiffToPass = (pixelThreshold*255)/100; //converts percent to a max pixel change value

	vector<long> cutFrames;
	myVideo.setFrame(1);
	ofPixelsRef prevPixelsRef = myVideo.getPixelsRef();
