Well, I am sure everyone now here has heard about the new Iphone 4S with a voice assistant called SIRI. I was doing a little research on a friends iPhone install package from the new iOS5 and noticed a little text file identifying SIRI as an SRI labs intelligent assistant project with DARPA. I researched this a bit more and came up with, the name CALO and PAL.
The project development goes back to 2004 and eventually
CALO spawns PAL - Personal assistant that learns.
https://pal.sri.com/Plone/framework
There are all sorts of applications and C# coding modules available on the PAL site, so if anyone has ability in programming, it would be interesting to see what people could come up with!
Apple adapted the audio part of the project coding and adapted it for an ARM (A5) chipset!
It is an amazing assistant and it even learns tone of voice, intonation, and even slag. It also learns how to respond to being sworn at! Yes... that's right. It will learn how to give it right back too! I have heard some Hilarious responses so far from my friends phone and had us in stitches! Check the youtube videos.
