Project Description

clear is a great way to have books, manuals, websites, etc, read to you, allowing you to pause, quit, resume, and filter out nonsense. clear uses the Festival text-to-speech system and ccp to do this. It is very useful for studying. For instance, while browsing a researchers website in w3m-el, you can select a region over all of their publications and execute M-x clear-queue-all-links or "\C-c\C-mc" to queue all of their papers. A message containing a command to queue the links is then sent from Emacs-unilang-agent to unilang, which sends it to clear. The queued links are stored to the current readlist. Whenever you have a chance then, you tell clear to resume reading and it reads you books. It sorts the reading list by topical dependency.

Capabilities

• If you see 'Not enough arguments for format string', just clear the freekbs-stack.
• Adapt clear and study to read/use wikipedia. Use the internal version to calibrate subject matter.
• Redo things like clear queue into the freekbs format and have that processing take care of it, that way, we have a coordinated way to handle processing.
• This should be used for clear.
• Fix bug with clear are you paying attention.
• The clear movie generation extension should also play music (instrumental or whatever) that it finds suitful. Maybe even play video sections.
• Take important todo items, rewrite as questions, search google and read results throguh clear.
• clear should have the ability to summarize what the user has read and what their areas of expertise are based on that reading.
• clear should consider using a database for various reasons. Actually, its a bad idea because there's no reason for most of the data to be in memory.
• Write my own gaelic language text to speech module, add it to clear, that wraps text in gaelic into a form that is usable by a custom dictionary using the English language models.
• The manager::Records::Session system can zoom to the nearest complete clear screen in order to begin to reconstruct a given location.
• Read me things in the background through clear, like audience emails.
• Catalyst provides certain abilities that would be very nice for clear.
• clear should be able to read code properly.
• setanta should run checks on as many services as possible. Also should check disk space and contact and warn us. Another thing is that it should kind of summarize report information to filter out useless noise. It should also model what different people know about different problems using the analyst model from clear.
• Chris points out that MediaWiki tracks who views which pages, and you can use this with clear as a module to determine who has read what pages (actually itsn't only seen whcih pages, make the inference).
• clear should detect examples and have the user work through them.
• Add support to clear to support clear, y
• clear should incorporate a way to get ratings for books used.
• /var/lib/myfrdcsa/codebases/internal/unilang/start audience broker clear corpus cso ELog manager OpenCyc pse unilang-Client
• clear should support rereading.
• Add something so clear can be launched from opera or whatever
• Obviously clear should use the Emacs wikibrowser
• clear should correct things like pro-\nvides
• Mom wants to have a clear subsystem that explains things to her.
• clear did not handle a document with spaces and commas correctly.
• clear should have functionality for training people up to speed.
• clear should have support for multiple pedagogical modes.
• Have a facility for reporting texts read visually to clear.
• seeker obviously incorporates some of critics abilities to remember what the user has already seen. In fact, that part of fweb that records sentences could be generalized to serve as the backend for clear, seeker, critic and fweb.
• clear can use link grammar parser to determine whether upcoming sentences are problematic (i.e. not really sentence data).
• clear should determine how useful reading a document is based on the amount of mathematics, programs, tables and pictures, i.e. things that aren't useful in a serialized reading way.
• /var/lib/myfrdcsa/codebases/internal/unilang/start audience broker clear corpus cso ELog OpenCyc pse unilang-Client
• I am thinking I would like to work on clear some, to get the clear things ready. Although, more important would be the schedule maker.
• clear should work for source code files too.
• If we want to have clear do this, we can use pitch to emphasize certain words.
• clear can have control modes, perhaps through evangelist.
• Therefore top priority is getting clear working, so that it comes up with a read list.
• Read Emacs lisp manual in full w/ quizzes. Expand clear quiz functionality. Use named entity recognition, not just keywords, etc.
• unilang client or the like should be able to run shell commands. Example is if clear crashes, and we want to restart it within the window, without having to restart everything.
• That last thing works with training materials too. Have clear functionality as one type. Improve that type system.
• /var/lib/myfrdcsa/codebases/internal/boss/perl-codebases/clear/Feedback.pm:use perllib::UI; contains the desired feedback code for clear.
• clear should compute an enormous meta-reading model consisting of all readable text on the drive.
• A basic technique clear can use is largest subsequence, by analyzing a tree of existing sentences to determine whether the given sentence has already been read. You can restrict the dictionary to make it more efficient.
• Adding support for info to clear.
• Usually when clear won't read it is because it thinks it isn't text. Have it default to reading it.
• Integrate facetracker with clear if facetracker works well
• clear should handle pdf.gz
• Create web browsing score for how much communication is being done. Model web reading using clear topic visualizer. Penalize bad words, etc.
• My total was $148.52 and the clear said your change is 1.48, to which I said, no, that's what I just gave you!
• Neat if clear could pronounce bold words stronger, etc.
• clear< exit
• The fundamental clear datamodel has to change to incorporate things like paragraphs.
• Get everyone using clear and get quiz functionality working. We will also have a site to submit good reading materials to.
• Create a clear.el function for reading all selected files in dired.
• Create an interest model for the user that helps clear know what to read.
• I mean work on clear tomorrow.
• clear can talk to broker then.
• clear should consult all/Termios/picform/bard for understanding writings.
• I haven't been reading much with clear lately and it shows, since I was barely able to understand it.
• Have clear read man pages too. Have a whole priority system.
• Have to get clear to read info pages.
• Do topic mapping, based on current readings and zipper things together. clear should detect useful leads in documents and store those for later use and analysis.
• Can start and stop clear from mamager.
• I should read all the linux howtos now. Write something simple today, that makes sure clear is in basically constant utilization. This will of course include writing a compressor for voy files.
• In order to have searching through what clear has read, set up an information retrieval system.
• Should have the ability to search through things we've read with clear, for instance, U.S. Army manuals, to find specific statements based on an imprecise memory, i.e. "The manual states that a soldier only needs to change his socks and underwear each day". Then the actual statement as well as the actual document page and line, or if available chapter, section, etc, is given as support.
• Can apply clear topic jisting to unilang messages.
• Roger, all clear, planetalk (for all).
• clear should also model a person's vocabulary (useful for foreign language acquisition, etc.)
• Figure out what is wrong with clear, why it wouldn't read something like the bible even though there was no voy: RESPONSE: myfrdcsa/codebases/internal/digilib/data/gutapp/kjv10.txt > No More Documents
• Here are my goals for tomorrow. I would like to get clear doing some basic generation, but I would most like to focus on getting it so I can knock tasks off the task system.
• Get a 3d card and create a cool system for clear that uses web cam based eye-tracking and 3d graphs of content areas and images (images could be pulled from documents when appropriate and displayed in the knowledge display.)
• For clear, write citeseer interface, and citeseer dependency.
• clear should have a function for re-reading the last paragraph.
• clear should speed up gradually over time if wanted.
• clear i
• Do accessory tasks to work, like reading w/ clear, requires less expense...
• Solve problem with unilang-client quitting when using clear.el stuff
• Switch clear to Icalendar times.
• Before I read more books, I kind of want to make sure that the recordings are being noted. In other words, clear needs to be improved to use a central archive for voys, and do compression, etc. Can use ZCat, also, simply have to write the voy write and save software to detect and use zip format.
• clear< y
• Add a speech interface to clear.
• clear should be able to jump back 5 lines...
• Some things to implement tonight - make clear use .voy.gz files, and secondly, write software for detecting whether text was already read, by mapping it into basic concepts, and checking for overlaps. extract isa, etc.
• clear should preprocess code to be read: ie. XML::DOM - XML DOM
• clear could use language detection software to do this.
• clear should do code detection, etc.
• Fix the clear bug that makes it jumble words together.
• Here are some ideas about clear, obviously it needs to analyze whether you've already read crap.
• Need to find some way to make clear run smoother.
• clear y
• Set the path for clear data to prevent it from putting it anywhere.
• clear can adapt to the user's changing information wants, for instance one sec they might be interested in such and such and the next, something else.
• Or they could use a standard length like "AUDIENC: unilang: clear--: BUSROUT: etc
• Fix this damn problem with clear not reading things that are downloaded.
• This thing I've made for Sorcerer sure looks useful, it is being used in Sorcerer, broker, should be used in job-search, and could be used in busroute, clear, corpus, critic, cso, digilib, and verber.
• Add per-paragraph and per-chapter jump hotkeys to clear.
• By textual analysis of what clear and now audience are storing, it should be easily possible to query the system (running the question askers for each person's data, perhaps dynamically, or somehow) what they should know and behave accordingly. Would help to have more content area specifications as per fieldgoal
• Some distinctions for gourmet to note - sometimes you get large boxes, i.e. barcodes "containing" barcodes. You have to be clear about thes, especial ly for reordering purposes.
• We can start up a clear server that reads books to people over the network, that way we don't have to distribute our files, and we can also record what everyone is reading.
• The problem with using the /tmp/clear method is that we don't know what is being read, should come up with something akin to the website stuff.
• We need a planner for clear that plans what to read to you and when.
• Obviously clear should be mutlilingual
• clear should read the name of any new files it starts reading.
• Fix bug with number changing after asking "Are you listening" in clear.
• Obviously we want to change the date format in clear from the silly date stamp to a microseconds since so and so.
• Allow q to work on clear.
• The sltion to moving my stuff into CVS or subversion is clear. Simply start a new dedicated project server (with more space).
• Also, I need to finish the clear package. I do not need to create a live CD, unlike my previous thought just now. I have only to release a package of it.
• Certain tasks need to be done for next years computing workshop. We should brainstorm about what we can do to help improve certain things. I didn't do any real lesson planning due to time and effort constraints and this was my main difficulty. I think clear has applications of course, but to be an ITS its going to have to know more about learning styles than it presently seems to.
• Some features to add are as follows. clear can propose a list of things that the reader may have read and the user select this. In other words, there is a system for selecting which books, websites articles etc have already been read. There would be ways to determine whether a person was familiar with a particular text simply by observing and testing their knwoledge.
• Just thought that if you aren't paying attention to clear you could say so in such a way that would cause it to repeat the last read section.
• Have to get clear.el loading
• Some ideas here, if the user is using clear, it should start by trying more frequently to question whether they are listening at the beginning, and then relax this somewhat as they demonstrate that they are there. This is excepted when it is night time.
• Here are some various ideas for clear. After determining that the user is asleep, or has not read the book for a long time at any rate, don't restart at current line, restart earlier.
• Add are you awake feature to clear, every now and then it asks you, are you awake? You just have to hit enter or something. If it times out after asking a few times, it pauses until c is pressed after all, if a any key is hit it restarts the are you awake question, or Are you paying attention?
• clear can use summarization software to summarize a document and read that summary.
• DocTrain (as in doctrine and Document Training) is a good name for clear or a component thereof.
• clear can make documents readable within Emacs. Perhaps it can generate a buffer in emacs, and then follow the point along the document as it reads it. By moving the cursor, you could start it reading elsewhere. It could highlight what it has already read to you.
• clear can use bibtex entries and USBN book number or whatever. Some dependency information can probably be extracted from Research papers by citations.
• clear should also record which movies you've seen.
• clear should be able to determine whether a given book is below your level.
• clear can also almost behave like a hypertext reader - but linking over conceptual connections.
• My todo list for today probably involves adding features to clear, and then packaging it
• For clear, we should have the ability to jump to the next match, so I don't have to guess the line number to sync to a book page.
• I sense the need for a new system - clear determines whether you have read the appropriate stuff - but have you acted on this knowledge? There is a need for a "project manager" that will help with hands on development of various systems. This ties in nicely with our project since we could use this to get people resume valuable experience as well as build us systems we need.
• That's one thing is I haven't been studying formal models enough lately. Like this PI calculus stuff looks interesting. We want to map it out and use clear to ensure familiarity. Another thing we could do is spider citeseer again. Perhaps slowly over time.
• clear can use the students to some extent to point out whether books have overlapping material.
• Could set up "clear radio", stupid but possible.
• clear should be able to read man pages, perhaps simply by running "man "
• clear should select questions that the user is not likely to have known before reading a text, using a variety of methods. For instance, if the user has read certain books, don't use questions are answered in those books.
• clear should be able to record the time's that various people spend reading a given text.
• clear can attest to the user having read certain documents, and by association with clear's subject matter indexing, we can at least come up with ideas for the user's skills profile, which can then be translated into a resume, or what not.
• Add the ability to spider with www::mechanize to clear when wget fails.
• clear should print a nice list of books titles/references which someone has read.
• clear should categorize resources.
• clear should allow multiple user profiles.
• should set up pbuilder and also get clear packaged
• clear needs to record all voys centrally and compressed
• Note that with the dependency information for educational materials all in order - we could begin classifying the knowledge axiomatically for two purposes - first, so that we can program systems that reference and make use of this information, and secondly, so that we can use this for clear. We can reference works by ISDN, etc, and use that among other things to begin indexing books. That way - we have an unambiguous identifier.
• Package clear by the end of the week - and get all of its dependencies in Pbuilder.
• clear should adjust speed automatically, for differing types of input, etc.
• Add features to save the voy files in clear's repository if the directory isn't writable.
• Add features to clear to enable it to "spider" websites that use "next".
• clear should scale to user's speed.
• Second is that clear's quizzes should adapt themselves to determine the users ability
• Various thoughts there. One is that we can have clear add a book to the classification hierarchy whenever it reads it.
• Areas for improvement with corpus. It's quite clear. The procedure I came up with isn't efficient but it is easily adaptable to an efficient procedure. Two things - don't do n^2, rather only look at reasonably related documents - this will cut down dramatically on run time. Second, make more efficient the sharedterm code, and lastly profile to see where spending all time.
• clear needs to take into account in voy files, which user read it. It should probably keep a central voy file repository.
• Note that even though clear did not successfully parse the ps file, pstotext succeeded. And also note that when I manually converted it it appeared as data and so was not run.
• Should package clear.
• I just thought of a way that clear could read through hyperlinked books. It could spider them and determine the order from the order of the links.
• Some various functions we might implement - clear (read buffer), or clear read man page.
• Getting clear working is important for our allies.
• Need to assemble my digital library. Also, need to put in rating system so that clear automatically builds the library from what I am reading.
• coauthor's dependency system can be used with clear in order to build mental models. Clearly, coauthor and clear are very closely related, which is very funny since I didn't even detect that at first. We need to get the coauthor system's ability to generate dependencies between written materials working so that - 1 - I can generate a doctrinal hierarchy for people to test proficiency in.
• Should add mental model to clear to determine whether analysts should be reading particular items.
• Mention that clear now reads RSS feeds.
• clear should have facilities for letting the user know how much further they can expect to work with their current book.
• Fix g 0 bug with clear
• clear the sleep queue before reading aloud - so that accidental key strokes from night down hurt it
• Here are some important tasks - find good C/C++ books and begin reading them using clear.
• This is much nicer since clear doesn't do a bunch of BS here.
• Add a feature to clear to skip able of contents.
• Add speed control to clear.
• clear should quiz the user for an after report of any document it has read, and if the user is unavailable, queue the review.
• Need to back my stuff up onto DVD. Nothing fancy, just clear out some of the directories. Build index of all DVDs.
• clear should identify mnemonics and drill them into the user.
• Remote control for clear.
• clear should have breaks.
• Annotation and bookmarks for clear
• clear should prompt to determine whether person is listening to it.
• I need to configure clear to read the emacs manual.
• Put planet.debian.net on clear.
• Have clear monitor reading better by writing squid element and use this to enforce training.
• check out what is wrong with clear, why it wont read urls after downloading them.
• In order to get clear working, I'm going to have to do certain things like ensure it has all of its run time dependencies and I'm not interested in that.
• Be sure to post clear on freshmeat, and sourceforge?
• The group building system. The group building system is a protocol for groups of people to become large problem solving teams. The protocol is as follows. It is clear that if two people are working on contradicting or inconsistent goals, they are not likely to satisfy them - at best only one of them will be satisfied. Therefore, this algorithm dictates that whenever two groups of people meet, they determine which group will be dominant. The goals of the second group are subordinated and integrated into the goaling system of the first group, but the command structure, in the form of a tree, is retained. In this way, large groups can form that solve many problems. Although the individuals at the lower ends will not (seemingly) benefit as quickly, the fact is that as a group they will be far stronger and will thus achieve more of their goals than if they were not to benefit as a group.
• could configure clear to use kbfs and then in this way, it would be capable of correctly processing documents (as in identification via metadata)
• check whether clear.sourceforge.net is taken
• Make open source certifications based on this clear technology.
• Equip clear with the ability to walk websites.
• Develop the ability to automatically infer plans based on statements. For instance in the above statement: <<radar architecture using Rational architect.>>>, it is clear to us that at least two tasks have been defined. Develop the radar architecture. and Download and install Rational architect
• clear should use Citeseer somehow.
• Have clear send commands to festival to speed it up or slow it down based on novelty estimates.
• Automatically determine if I have read a webpage or not. Feed squid through clear.
• clear< s
• As radar finds systems that interest the user, it presents these systems as though in a flight simulator - perhaps using critic, and feeds documents that should be read to clear
• Naturally clear should provide the ability to search backwards through what has been read, in order to answer questions and so forth. For instance if I read something to the effect that this truth is as clear as the sun, searching for this should get me the results I want. This reinforces the notion that clairvoyance should keep a central kbfs implementation of voy files, and run against that, as these can then easily be equipped for searching by a common search interface.
• clear< p
• Also, we want to change the library directory of clear to be under /var/lib/clear/library or something, or even kbfs
• useful for ITS, clear http://freshmeat.net/releases/183336/
• A major problem is that with systems like critic and clear we still wind up deleting the information because they either lose information or are not sensitive enough, respectively.
• Voy files ought to be considered to be kept locally, along with file signitures, and with software to detect similarity (to prevent same document from being read and reread.). This will encourage the creation of a digital library. Consider renaming clairvoyance to clear. Is everything clear? Are we clear on that? This should be /var/lib/clairvoyance/voys.
• (Almost clear proof that I'm not acting as intelligently as before I got this job, I accidentally rewrote a section of code for matching descriptions to Debian packages, and my latest version performed at least ten times worse in terms of accuracy, if not more.)
