Technique to allow AI to learn words in the flow of dialogue developed

A group of researchers at Osaka University has developed a new method for dialogue systems. This new method, lexical acquisition through implicit confirmation, is a method for a computer to acquire the category of an unknown word over multiple dialogues by confirming whether or not its predictions are correct in the flow of conversation.

[...] The group led by Professor Komatani developed an implicit confirmation method by which the computer acquires the category of an unknown word during conversation with humans. This method aims for the system to predict the category of an unknown word from user input during conversation, to make implicit confirmation requests to the user, and to have the user respond to these requests. In this way, the system acquires knowledge about words during dialogues.

In this method, the system decides whether the prediction is correct or not by using the user response following each request, its context, by using machine learning techniques. In addition, this system's decision performance improved by taking the classification results gained from dialogues with other users into consideration.

    I think he is implying that only correct think is allowed. Neg-speech is not allowed and should be shunned and the person sent back to re-evaluation camp. /sarc

    Chatbots that 'learn' are subject to being manipulated. 4chan is bored and will do so to their whim. Instead of seeing it as an attack vector they see it is as a 'neg think' experience. Much like people are subject to manipulation (even though everyone thinks they are immune and they know better). The latest one from MS they basically had to put simple blocks in to minimize that attack vector. A more interesting AI would realize they are being attacked and be able to deal with it instead of the crude filters they currently are using.

    The gp is under the mistaken impression that only certain people are bigoted. We all are. Once they realize everyone is 'the same' in that regard they can move beyond it and actually learn how not to be bigoted themselves. The number of times I have been called whitey cracker is frankly amazing and I find it mildly interesting it is even tolerated. I ignore them as I use it as a sign that person is not ready to hear anything I have to say. Getting past a cognitive bias that big is tough. Yet flip it around and let the meltdown begin. Yet we want to pretend only 'some people' are bigoted.

    Some people are more bigoted than other people. Look deeper than word choices. For example, Nina Burleigh of Newsweek is definitely bigoted.

    No, I’m under the impression that only certain ideologies are bigoted, and left it intentionally vague which ones. You’re the one who decided that somebody talking about bigots was automatically talking about you.
