编程语言Micro Planner, LISP

平台DEC
类型自然語言理解

SHRDLU是由特里·威诺格拉德于1968年至1970年在麻省理工学院开发的一种早期的自然语言理解電腦程式 。在該程式中,用户可以與電腦对话,對這種精簡的“ 积木世界”的內部状态進行移动物體、命名集合、查询等操作(积木世界本质上是一个虛擬盒子,內部充满了不同积木)。[1]

SHRDLU是以Micro PlannerLisp编程语言DEC PDP-6電腦和DEC图形终端上编写而成 。 后来在犹他大学计算机图形实验室进行了補充,加入了對SHRDLU“世界”的完整3D渲染。

名称「SHRDLU」衍生自ETAOIN SHRDLU, ETAOIN SHRDLU是Linotype排字机上字母键配置,也就是照字母使用频率,以降序方式排列的12個字母序列。

功能

[编辑]

SHRDLU主要是一种语言解析器,它允许用户使用英语术语进行互動 。 用户指示SHRDLU在“積木世界”中移动各种物體,包含各种基本物體:積木(塊體)、錐體、球體等。 SHRDLU的独特之处在於將四个简单想法的组合起來,這些想法加總在一起,使得在對“理解力”的模拟上,更具说服力。

其中一個原因是,SHRDLU的世界非常簡單,以致於整個物體和位置的集合可以透過大約50個單詞來描述:名詞如"積木"(block)和"錐體"(cone),動詞如"放置在"(place on)和"移動到"(move to),以及形容詞如"巨大的"(big)和"藍色的"(blue)。這些基本的語言建築模塊的可能組合相當簡單,程式完全有辦法弄懂用戶的意思。

SHRDLU還包括一個基本記憶體來提供語境。人們可以要求SHRDLU「把綠錐放在紅塊上」,然後「把錐子拿下來」;「錐體」會被認為是指剛才說的綠錐。在大多數情況下,當提供了額外的形容詞時,SHRDLU可以透過互動進一步回溯尋找合適的語境。用戶也可以問一些歷史問題,比如「在撿到錐體之前,你有沒有撿過任何東西?」

這種記憶體的附帶效果,也是SHRDLU標准配置的基本規則,即该程式可以回答關於世界上什麼問題是可能的,什麼問題是不可能的。SHRDLU會透過尋找例子推斷出積木可以堆疊,但在嘗試過三角形後,會了解到三角形不能堆疊。“世界”包含了使積木掉落的基本物理機制 ,而這与语言解析器无关。

最後,SHRDLU還可以記住物體的名稱或它們的排列方式。例如,人們可以說 "尖塔是一個高大的長方形上面的小三角形";SHRDLU就可以回答積木世界中關於尖塔的問題,並建造新的尖塔。

選錄

[编辑]

这是SHRDLU的著名演示: [2]

人:Pick up a big red block.
電腦: OK.
人:Grasp the pyramid.
電腦:I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHICH PYRAMID YOU MEAN.
人:(changing their mind): Find a block which is taller than the one you are holding and put it into the box.
電腦:BY "IT", I ASSUME YOU MEAN THE BLOCK WHICH IS TALLER THAN THE ONE I AM HOLDING.
電腦:OK.
人:What does the box contain?
電腦:THE BLUE PYRAMID AND THE BLUE BLOCK.
人: What is the pyramid supported by?
電腦:THE BOX.
人:How many blocks are not in the box?
電腦:FOUR OF THEM.
人:Is at least one of them narrower than the one which i told you to pick up?
電腦:YES, THE RED CUBE.
人:Is it supported?
電腦:YES, BY THE TABLE.
人:Can the table pick up blocks?
電腦:NO.
人:Can a pyramid be supported by a block?
電腦:YES.
人:Can a pyramid support a pyramid?
電腦:I DON'T KNOW.
人:Stack up two pyramids.
電腦:I CAN'T.
人:Will you please stack up both of the red blocks and either a green cube or a pyramid?
電腦:OK.
人:Which cube is sitting on the table?
電腦:THE LARGE GREEN ONE WHICH SUPPORTS THE RED PYRAMID.
人:Is there a large block behind a pyramid?
電腦:YES, THREE OF THEM: A LARGE RED ONE, A LARGE GREEN CUBE, AND THE BLUE ONE.
人:Put a small one onto the green cube which supports a pyramid.
電腦:OK.
人:Put the littlest pyramid on top of it.
電腦:OK.
人:Does the shortest thing the tallest pyramid's support supports support anything green?
電腦:YES, THE GREEN PYRAMID.
人:What color is it?
電腦:BY "IT", I ASSUME YOU MEAN THE SHORTEST THING THE TALLEST PYRAMID'S SUPPORT SUPPORTS.
電腦:RED
人:How many things are on top of green cubes?
電腦:I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY "ON TOP OF "IN THE PHRASE "ON TOP OF GREEN CUBES " .
DO YOU MEAN:
1 - DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE
2 - ANWHERE ON TOP OF ?
人:2
電腦:THREE OF THEM.
人:Had you touched any pyramid before you put the green one on the little cube?
電腦:YES, THE GREEN ONE.
人:When did you pick it up?
電腦:WHILE I WAS STACKING UP THE RED CUBE, A LARGE RED BLOCK AND A LARGE GREEN CUBE.
人:Why?
電腦:TO GET RID OF IT.
人:Why did you do that?
電腦:TO CLEAN OFF THE RED CUBE.
人:Why did you clear off that cube?
電腦:TO PUT IT ON A LARGE GREEN CUBE.
人:Why did you do that?
電腦: TO STACK UP THE RED CUBE , A LARGE RED BLOCK AND A LARGE GREEN CUBE.
人:Why did you do that?
電腦:BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO.
人:How did you do it?
電腦:BY PUTTING A LARGE RED BLOCK ON THE TABLE ; THEN LETTING GO OF IT ; THEN PUTTING A LARGE GREEN CUBE ON IT ; THEN LETTING GO OF THAT CUBE ; THEN PUTTING THE RED CUBE ON THAT CUBE; THEN LETTING GO OF THAT CUBE.
人:How many objects did you touch while you were doing it?
電腦:FOUR OF THEM.
人:What did the red cube support before you started to clean it off?
電腦:THE GREEN PYRAMID.
人:There were five blocks to the left of the box then.
電腦:NO, ONLY FOUR OF THEM: THE RED CUBE, TWO LARGE GREEN CUBES AND A LARGE RED BLOCK.
人:Put the blue pyramid on the block in the box.
電腦:OK.
人:Is there anything which is bigger than every pyramid but is not as wide as the thing that supports it?
電腦:YES, THE BLUE BLOCK.
人:Does a steeple
電腦 (interrupting):SORRY, I DON'T KNOW THE WORD "STEEPLE".
人:A "steeple" is a stack which contains two green cubes and a pyramid.
電腦:I UNDERSTAND.
人:Are there any steeples now?
電腦:NO.
人:Build one.
電腦:OK.
人:Call the biggest block "superblock".
電腦:OK.
人:Have you picked superblock up since we began?
電腦:YES.
人:Why did you drop it?
電腦:BY "IT", I ASSUME YOU MEAN THE SUPERBLOCK.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN A NON-EXISTENT EVENT.
人:Is there anything to the right of the red pyramid?
電腦:YES, FOUR THINGS: THE BOX , THE RED CUBE, THE BLUE PYRAMID AND THE BLOCK NAMED SUPERBLOCK
人:Thank you.
電腦:YOU'RE WELCOME!

影響

[编辑]

SHRDLU被认为是人工智能一次極其成功的演示。这导致其他AI研究人员过分乐观,但后来的系统試圖處理現實中的更具模糊性和複雜性的情況時[來源請求],这种乐观情绪很快就消失了。后续與SHRDLU同型的工作(例如Cyc )則傾向於專注為程式提供更加豐富的資訊,藉此從中獲得結論。

尽管不是有意為之,但是SHRDLU被认为是文字冒险游戏第一个已知的正式實例,這是因为用户能夠以简单的指令在虚拟环境中移动物體來进行互動,尽管缺乏了常見於文字冒险游戏中特有的故事敘述。 1976-1977年的游戏《巨洞冒險》被广泛认为是文字冒险游戏的第一個真正作品。 [3]
