The following conversation has implications for MemGPT and similar use cases, as well as LLM/Knowledge Graph integration. Instead of requiring URIs for everything (which would require constant lookups against a lexicon of all-possible-things) this uses locally non-ambiguous (aka conversational) identifiers. Something like this would be great for tracking continuity in fiction, for instance. Maybe a turtle syntax would be a bit bitter.
The AI was Google Bard. And yes, I realize this “taught” the AI nothing beyond this immediate conversation. Unless the Google engineers read this post, this is only a demonstration of what’s possible.
The conversation begins thus…
Given the following sentences, I want you to express them as triples, with a subject, predicate, and object. The format for each should be an identifier that a reasonable reader could interpret, with no spaces. The overall format is <subject> <predicate> <object>. including angle brackets and an ending period. For example “Jeff lives in Atlanta” would become <Jeff> <lives_in> <Atlanta>. Acknowledge these instructions by replying with the single word OK.
AI> OK.
Sally’s eyes are blue. She is wearing a red dress.
AI: <Sally> <has_eyes> <blue>. <Sally> <has_dress> <red>.
(aside: note the pronoun ‘she’ in the second sentence correctly dereferenced based on context.)
Good. <Sally> <eye_color> <blue>. would be better.
AI: … I will keep this in mind for future prompts.
Harry met Sally in Seattle.
AI: <Harry> <met> <Sally> <in> <Seattle>.
This is a tricky one and requires reification. For example <Harry> <participant> <meeting>. <Sally> <participant> <meeting>. <Meeting> <location> <Seattle>.
AI: You are correct … The following triples represent the reified version of the prompt:
<Harry><participant><meeting>.<Sally><participant><meeting>.<meeting><location><Seattle>.
Amit likes ice cream and soda.
AI:
<Amit><likes><ice_cream>.<Amit><likes><soda>.
Grandpa fought in WW2 in 1943.
AI:
<Grandpa><fought_in><WW2>.<WW2><happened_in>1943.
(aside: interesting that it decided that the year didn’t need to be quoted like an identifier)
Once upon a time, in a hole there lived a Hobbit.
AI: <Hobbit> <lived_in> <hole>.
Jane wore blue yesterday, but today she’s wearing green.
AI:
<Jane><wore><blue><yesterday>.<Jane><wore><green><today>.
These are quads, not triples. Can you reify them into additional triples?
AI: Event 1:
<JaneWoreBlue><participant><Jane>.<JaneWoreBlue><has_clothing><blue_clothing>.<JaneWoreBlue><happened_on><yesterday>.
AI: Event 2:
<JaneWoreGreen><participant><Jane>.<JaneWoreGreen><has_clothing><green_clothing>.<JaneWoreGreen><happened_on><today>.
(aside: this is actually a reasonable solution)
FIN (for now!)
