cogserver's Introduction

OpenCog

This repo is no longer maintained! Please use the following, instead:

Obsolete! As of 2021, the most interesting and actively maintained parts of this git repo have been split off into their own distinct git repos. What is left here is a mish-mash of unmatained stuff that is in the process of bit-rotting. Some unit tests fail. Some unit tests won't run. Some code won't compile. Perhaps there's some good stuff in here. Perhaps it can be brought back to life and used for something or other. However... for the most part, it is obsolete.

This git repository contains the "OpenCog Framework", which has served as a (scientific, technical) laboratory for researching, exploring and learning how to integrate AI algorithms and systems into humanoid robotic systems. Most of the activity within this particular repo has focused on integrating natural language chat, common-sense reasoning, assorted learning algorithms, and motor control of humanoid robots.

A stated goal of the OpenCog project is to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems. This is all and well; however, what can be found here, in this particular repo, is very far from that. The code here really is ... a laboratory for integrating various types of AI systems. As such, it is a compilation of several decades of work by a large and varying collection of students, researchers, professors and software engineers. As a laboratory, it is filled with all sorts of devices in varying states of working order, from well-polished to mostly-broken.

Overview

Most of the basic components used in OpenCog are distributed across various git repos, (mostly) grouped under https://github.com/opencog

This git repository contains a crude natural language processing pipeline, several embodied chatbots, and some control/action-selection mechanisms. These include:

Ghost, a Chatscript-compatible chatbot with additional capabilities for accepting visual sensory input, and for controlling robot movements.
OpenPsi, a model of psychological states. Its currently a mashup of two unrelated ideas: a generic rule-class action-selection and planning system, and a model of human psychological states. An open to-do item is to untangle these two.
An assortment of natural language processing subsystems, including:
- Natural language generation (for expressing thoughts as sentences).
- Natural language input (for reading and hearing).
- Relex2logic, converting natural language to logic expressions.
- Assorted chatbots, some of which are embodied.
- A Lojban tool.

cogserver's Issues

make check fails trying to find PyIncludeWrapper.h

This was previously reported at #24

As of commit a932b22 this is still a problem. make check aborts like this:

command "make" "tests" failed with status 2

I'm building in an isolated environment using GNU Guix. The environment contains atomspace, boost, cogutil, gmp, Guile 2.2, cxxtest, Python 3, and pkg-config (in addition to the GCC 7 toolchain).

Python 3 is checked for during the configure phase. I would not include it in the environment if it was possible to configure without it.

ShellUTest errors sometimes with Debug build

I get sporadic failures with ShellUTest, but have only noticed them with a Debug build.

Compiler is standard for Ubuntu 16.04 gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 5.4.0 20160609

Maybe related to opencog/opencog#2542 ? Though a cause was found and fixed in that issue.

The output is:

Start  5: ShellUTest

python printing is broken

Printing to the python shell is broken. This got broken by pull request opencog/opencog#2311, the refactoring of the network code is not yet complete.

Tor reproduce: telnetto the cogserver, enter the python shell, and execute any python code -- nothing is printed.

CogServer does not error on module load failure

If you launch the CogServer and it cannot load a module because it has not been installed or is not present in the module search path, there is no error. It only prints some log entries at WARN level.

To duplicate, put a module in the MODULES section of a config file. Then remove the module from the install directory.

"make tests" fails to build PyEvalUTest

I'm packaging cogserver for GNU Guix and found that make tests fails to build PyEvalUTest. Note that I'm building in an environment that only contains Python, but not Cython.

It seems to me that the tests for Python functionality ought to be disabled when the Python bindings have not been built.

Here's the tail of the build log:

Split up cogserver into three parts.

The cogserver is mashup of three unrelated concepts; it would probably work better if it was detangled into those components more cleanly. It is:

A network shell server. Like telnet, but different.
A command shell. Like bash, but different. With "pluggable modules" (e.g. PythonModule)
A cooperative-multi-tasking framework, for the cooperative scheduling of "MindAgents".

These three are currently in somewhat questionable state of repair, and it might even be very wise to re-imagine the architecture/design from the ground-up.

The multi-tasking ("Agents") framework is lame, and is little more than a REPL loop. The dream of the multi-tasking framework was to somehow manage tasks and set priorities for them (allocating CPU resources), but forcing all agents to be cooperative multi-taskers causes well-known issues (MS Windows3.1 and Apple OS9 from late 1980's illustrated the possibilities and the limitations very clearly.)
The command-shell is kind of goofy, like somebody's school project. It expects new commands to be implemented as dynamically loaded shared libraries, with a very strict API about what is and is not allowed, which makes it very hard to create high-quality modules. Giving the command shell a minimalist design would simplify it, make it work better/less awkwardly.
The network server is the most debugged and mostly quite stable. I would have recommended discarding it, replacing it with some other open-source project, except I once searched the internet for a drop-in replacement, and (surprisingly) found none. Maybe the world needs a generic shell-server!? Biggest problem with the network server is it provides zero authentication, zero security. (it's not obvious how to rip it out and replace it by ssh, for example)

I can kind-of see why all three components are interesting, but given the limitations, they need to be reimagined from the ground-up.

python shell handling is broken.

See comments in pull request opencog/atomspace#838

At this time, starting the cogserver, and then telnet localhost 17001, entering the python shell, and entering this:

for i in range(10) :
    print "foo", i

produces no output in either the shell or the cogserver (see also issue #2 -- currently prints go to the cogserver; once fixed, prints should go to the shell.) There are also various inconsistencies: running the python shell stand-alone gives this:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>>

after hitting carriage return 3 times. Doing the same in the telnet terminal gives this:

$ telnet localhost 17001
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
opencog> py

py> 
py> 
... 
... 
... 
... 
... 
... 
py> 
... 
... 
... 
... 
py> 
...

There are also inconsistencies in what python considers to be "legal syntax". For example, the following code, when entered at the python shell, is invalid syntax:

def fun(x):
    y = x + 1

    print "foo", y
    return y

fun(1)
print "bar"

it generates this error:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def fun(x):
...     y = x + 1
... 
>>>     print "foo", y
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print "foo", y
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
>>>

however, copying that code to a file, say f.py and running it as $ python f.py does not produce any error:

$ python f.py
foo 2
bar
$

running the above code at the telnet prompt does nothing.

I'm not sure quite how to resolve this ... if python itself is not self-consistent with what it considers to be valid syntax, I'm not sure how how to emulate that .. at any rate, the telnet shell is clearly broken.

Python cogserver AWOL

Looking in the directory opencog/cython I see cogserver.pxd and cogserver.pyx (and two other pyx files) but I cannot find anything that says start_cogserver() or anything similar. Apparently, this code was somehow lost or cut during reorganization. I did a deep dive into ancient history, but could not locate it... !!??

ShellUTest fails because of NumberNode formatting change

I tried to run ShellUTest locally and it looks like it fails because trailing zeroes are absent in NumberNode format. At least I don't see them in failure message but see them in example from code of the unit test. And size difference is exactly 7 symbols:

/home/vital/projects/opencog/cogserver-build/tests/shell/../../../cogserver/tests/shell/ShellUTest.cxxtest:76: Error: Expected (281 <= reso.size()), found (281 > 274)

Cogserver and attention circular dependencies?

It looks to me the errors involve unrecognized types that are defined in the attention package--AttentionValuePtr and AVCHSigl

error: ‘AttentionValuePtr’ does not name a type

But cogserver is a prerequisite for the attention package--attention can't be built unless cogserver is already built

  attention/build$ cmake ..
  . . .
  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:180 (MESSAGE):
  CogServer missing: it is needed!

Is there a circular dependency here?

Cogserver unclean shutdown

Something about the cogserver shutdown sequence frequently leads to the error message on shutdown:

corrupted size vs. prev_size
Aborted

This happens some time after main() has exited, and has something to do with the thread shutdown. This often makes the unit tests for https://github.com/opencog/atomspace-cog/ fail.
