Ask HN: Is there any crowd-sourced AI project?

2 points by Unai ↗ HN
I was thinking about this, and I've love to know if there is any project already running.

Of course I'm not talking about the kind of project that tries to emulate the brain, but something like a chatbot powered by the community — à la wikipedia — where users can input the "inputs and answers".

I know there's something called AIML, but doesn't seem very user friendly.

I don't know of anything that does exactly that, but there are certainly various AI projects out there that crowd-source some aspects, like coding if nothing else (counting all of the various OSS AI/ML related projects).

I think something like OpenCyc gets closer to what you're looking for, or maybe a project like OpenWIMS. Neither of those has a "chatbot" aspect though.

That said, I have recently been toying with the idea of trying to build an "open source Watson-like" system, as a platform to learn more about natural language understanding, and some other AI topics. If you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll loop you in on that.

Short-term, I'm just working on re-implementing the "ArrowSmith" Literature Based Discovery system as an intermediate learning project. That's OSS as well, and if you'd like to take a look, have at it. https://github.com/fogbeam/arrowsmith
