Self musings

Light burns diffidence into me
  Darkness is my accomplice
  Together we prowl, looking for victims
  Not to villainize >
  For we are the heroes who revel in secret
  Touched we get by these small gestures
  Incomplete we are without the other
  Sail high our emotions do
  For we understand what nothingness feels
  Black is our color, we roll into it happily
  Hate we the happiness that flows through our veins
  Dislike our nature we do
  But it is our nature which defines us
  So constantly we struggle to become brighter
  Without understanding that brightness will eventually kill us
  Because we do not believe in destinations
  Which is absolution
  But love the journey we do

Redis Supported Data Types and Commands

Redis support 5 types of data types. You need to know what type of value that key maps to, as for each data type, the command to retrieve it is different.

WIKIPEDIA API and ChatBots

I have been trying to use ontological bases in my chatbot to introduce interactivity which can take the conversation forward. What I have till now : Any user query is parsed by an NLP engine to classify if the intent is any one of the preset intents. Some of these preset intents are greetings, compliments, tasks assigned in the Talentify for Business app amongst a few. If none of the intents are matched then the user query is passed in sequence to various search engines and their web results are scraped to get a metadata response generated by the search engine, which usually is a representation of the internal knowledge graph of the search engine implementation. If none of the search engines can identify that query, then the query is passed to a knowledge engine called wolfram alpha which in most of the cases can give response to even very complex queries like "what is the distance between Chennai and Bangalore in kilometres" If even that fails then a default random...

SPARQL

Sparql can be used to query structured data sets like DBPedia. These queries can be run on SPAQL enpoints like http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql or http://dbpedia.org/sparql/. The queries can be slightly different, but for an experienced SPARQLer (which I hope to be one day) this won't be a problem. Here are a few of my first queries, the structure will be purpose followed by the query: The urban and metro population of Patna PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> PREFIX dbr: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> select ?populationUrban  ?populationMetro where {   dbpedia:Patna  dbo:populationUrban ?populationUrban;                  dbo:populationMetro ?populationMetro  . } Details of Hemmingway: prefix dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> prefix dbpedia-owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> select ?abstract ?thumbnail where {    dbpedia:Ernest_Hemingway ...
