Permission to rewrite?

[edit]

Hi all. In real life, I'm Catherine Havasi one of the co-founders of OMCS and now the Post-doc at the project. I'd really like to update and rewrite this page in the next few weeks to reflect what we're currently up to. I'll post the update on the talk page for a week before moving it to the real page for all to make comments.

Ok. I did a new version, you can see it User:Cmouse/Open Mind Common Sense draft. I'd like to put it up on Sunday 10/11/09 if there are no comments. Cmouse (talk) 18:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

We've got a lot of external links. The three I can think of to remove are:

Learner's the most dubious, it's an obvious influence to AnalogySpace. The second is a C++ toolkit for conceptnet and there are a lot of toolkits for cnet, it's the sort of thing that belongs on our site and not this article. The last project is part of the Open Mind initiative, of which OMCS is a subset. I'll move it to Open Mind. Is this ok with people?

I also fixed some factual inaccuracies. Cmouse (talk) 23:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately none of the links to Open Mind Common Sense project seem to work anymore. I was unable to track alternative links. If the problem persists (writing this on 25 Aug 2015), should they be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.220.177.196 (talk) 10:48, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Open Mind and MindPixel

[edit]

So very sad. Also, so very surprising! The founder of a similar project called Mindpixel, Chris McKinstry, died on Jan 23, 2006. Just over a month later, Dr. Push Singh died on Feb 28, 2006. What then becomes of the dream when both men are dead? --Mnemosign 06:26, 23 April 2006

Why would he do this to himself? I don't want to speculate too much, but was the project not producing the intended results? How was his faith in Minksy in his last months? Did he have depression? I think these are possibly important questions. --Amit 22:50, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mindpixel offline

[edit]

Doesnt anyone know why the site for this project is offline? Is the project dead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Open_Mind_Common_Sense Cancel

Mindpixel was entirely Chris McKinstry's project, so it's no surprise that it didn't keep going. Open Mind, on the other hand, has almost nothing to do with Mindpixel, and I'd like to reassure people that the project is alive and well, now run by Henry Lieberman. I'm a grad student who has worked on the project. Here's a paper with some recent research.
Unfortunately, an unauthorized article in a certain trashy but popular computer magazine, which speculated randomly about Push Singh and Chris McKinstry despite that they never successfully interviewed or obtained the permission of anyone involved, somehow inspired some readers of said magazine to DOS our public site (normally hosted at http://openmind.media.mit.edu). So it will be down for a couple of weeks until we build up our defenses. People suck. But Open Mind is certainly not dead. just closed to the public while we fix it.

Wiktionary and ConceptNet

[edit]

At the ConceptNet page [1] there is information about using Wiktionary as a source data for ConceptNet knowledge base:

"We have also parsed a large amount of content from the English Wiktionary, including synonyms, antonyms, translations of concepts into hundreds of languages, and multiple labeled word senses for many English words."

Does exist any publication with more information about it? -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 12:34, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Add Luminoso

[edit]

I'm in touch with someone from the project, who works at a commercial spin off that includes the director of OMCS and other OMCS major participants. I'd suggest adding the following to the ConceptNet section or, adding a new setion for Luminoso:

In 2010, OMCS co-founder and director Catherine Havasi, with Rob Speer, Dennis Clark and Jason Alonso, created Luminoso, a text analytics software company that builds on ConceptNet. The technology leverages ConceptNet as its primary lexical resource in order to help businesses make sense of and derive actionable insight from vast amounts of qualitative data, including surveys, product reviews and social media.

No longer exists

[edit]

I've been searching for hours -- AFAICT, the database no longer exists, the website(s) no longer exist. There's been no work in the git repository since 2009... "here are many different types of knowledge in OMCS. " Source? I'd love to get a copy of the raw OMCS data. **edit: I've got a copy of the OMCSNET_DATA.1 etc. jon@panamantis.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.168.96 (talk) 21:04, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
