About

Stephen L Reed
Texai is an open source project to create an artificial intelligence. The approach is to first construct an English dialog system whose initial goals are to acquire linguistic and common sense skills to improve its own performance. The project is hosted at SourceForge and has already released the largest freely available English lexicon in RDF. The project has also released the RDF Entity Manager which enables Semantic Annotation of Java classes to persist Java objects to the Sesame 2 RDF store. The project has also released a Java implementation of Incremental Fluid Construction Grammar.
My name is Stephen L. Reed and I am the principal developer. I live in Austin, Texas. After working seven years with Cycorp, Inc., the creators of the Cyc Knowledge Base, I am combining new and existing software components to establish a recursively self-improving artificial intelligence system. I am a member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. Recently I gave an improptu talk at the AGI-08 conference where I was moderating a session. Here is a YouTube video of my talk.
Many thanks to my biggest cheerleader, my wife BethLynn Maxwell !
