3. “Computers that learn in unsupervised
ways and don't need to be told what to
do in advance is the next phase of
computer science”
Steve Wozniak , Apple co-founder
What is Selfprogramming ?

4. This presentation describes AI-based technology capable to generate
new applications from natural language interaction
It is possible for a computer to write its own applications ?
Selfprogramming

5. Key concepts
 Artificial Intelligence
 Machine Learning
 Natural Language Processing
 Neural Network
 Parallel Programming
 Regular expressions
 Parser
 Hidden Markov Model

6. Technologies & Tools
 Visual Studio 2012 ou Android Studio
 ,Net Framework
 C# ou Java
 Regex Library
 TaskParallel Library
 AIML ( Artificial Intelligence Markup
Language )

7. VIKI : The Artificial Intelligence

8. Architecture : VIKI Agent
Actuators : Screen , Mouse , Speaker ,
…
Sensors : Keyboard, Mouse , Text ,
WebCam, Mic , …

9. Architecture : Machine Learning

10. Regular expressions ( Parser )
:
^(|.*?b|.*?s)Whatb.+?bisb.
+?byourb.+?bname(|b.*?|s
.*?)$
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<aiml version="1.0">
<category>
<pattern>increment j</pattern>
<template>
<think><set
name=“j">variable</set></think>
j++
</template>
</category>
</aiml>
Predictive rules with AIML

11. /// <summary>
/// Classe pour la compilation et l’exécution dynamique du
code généré
/// </summary>
public class CSharpCompiler
{
public bool Compile()//true if successful
{
bool success;
this.AssembleCode();//convert the data structures to
this.code
//compile class into assembly
CSharpCodeProvider codeProvider = new
CSharpCodeProvider();
ICodeCompiler compiler = codeProvider.CreateCompiler();
return success;
}//Compile()
}
Use Case 1 : #selfprogramming

12. Use case 2 : VIKI : AI-based personal assistant
JAVA on Android Studio 8
public void neuron_speakOut(String text) {
tts=new TextToSpeech( this,
new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
@Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if(status != TextToSpeech.ERROR)
{
int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA ||
result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED)
{
lmessage_viki = "This Language is not supported";
Log.e("TTS", lmessage_viki);
//Toast.makeText(this, lmessage_viki ,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
});
tts.speak(text.toString(), TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
Natural language Interaction
App that learns from few behaviors and generate new knowledge , new behaviors in unknown
situations.

13. Opened questions !
