Stephen L. Reed Texai is an open source project to create an artificial intelligence. The approach is to first construct an English dialog system whose initial goals are to acquire linguistic and common sense skills that improves its own performance. The project is hosted at SourceForge and has already released the largest freely available English lexicon in RDF. The project has also released the RDF Entity Manager which enables Semantic Annotation of Java classes to persist Java objects in the Sesame 2 RDF store. The project has also released a Java implementation of Incremental Fluid Construction Grammar. The initial online chatbot interface for English lexicon acquisition was planned for a June 23, 2009 release timed for Alan Turing’s birthday, but will be delayed for about six weeks.  It is ready for beta testing and when I return from vacation, I’ll be able to provide the agile support required.

My name is Stephen L. Reed and I am the principal developer. I live in Austin, Texas. After working seven years with Cycorp, Inc., the creators of the Cyc Knowledge Base, I am combining new and existing software components to establish a recursively self-improving artificial intelligence system. I am a member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. Recently I presented an OpenCyc tutorial and presented a Texai paper at the AGI-09 conference. While we await the video from this year’s conference, here is a YouTube video of my talk at AGI-08.
