Datasets for Training AI Robowaifu Technician 04/09/2020 (Thu) 21:36:12 No.2300 [Reply] [Last]
Training AI and robowaifus requires immense amounts of data. It'd be useful to curate books and datasets to feed into our models or possibly build our own corpora to train on. The quality of data is really important. Garbage in is garbage out. The GPT2 pre-trained models for example are riddled with 'Advertisement' after paragraphs. Perhaps we can also discuss and share scripts for cleaning and preparing data here and anything else related to datasets. To start here are some large datasets I've found useful for training chatbots: >The Stanford Question Answering Dataset https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/ >Amazon QA http://jmcauley.ucsd.edu/data/amazon/qa/ >WikiText-103 https://blog.einstein.ai/the-wikitext-long-term-dependency-language-modeling-dataset/ >Arxiv Data from 24,000+ papers https://www.kaggle.com/neelshah18/arxivdataset >NIPS papers https://www.kaggle.com/benhamner/nips-papers >Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Articles https://www.kaggle.com/markoarezina/frontiers-in-neuroscience-articles >Ubuntu Dialogue Corpus https://www.kaggle.com/rtatman/ubuntu-dialogue-corpus >4plebs.org data dump https://archive.org/details/4plebs-org-data-dump-2020-01 >The Movie Dialog Corpus https://www.kaggle.com/Cornell-University/movie-dialog-corpus >Common Crawl https://commoncrawl.org/the-data/

So those of us getting ready to make prototypes are still pretty far away from building the $2000 kits that we need to buildm. This sucks because we are going to be spending a lot on the initial investments, but I think I know how we can make a little money on the side to help on the side; twitch and fansonly. Betas and simps give their money to thots all the time on those site I'm positive they would give money to a crude prototype especially if it offered something unique. Bonus points because we are making money of simps, and we are taking business from thots. If you have any idea on how to make money in the early stages feel free to share them, anon. > related thread: >>1642

>>3119 slumming the various posts - ultimately its the style of interface that will limit what costs what. If there's going to be some kind of marketing of a product, robo waifu/nandroids should probably be approached from the POV of an AR/AI Productivity management tool that offers styles of positive reinforcement through meeting various mile-markers. The core of this is going to be how GOOD the conversations are and what way the communication is being done. Txt is obviously the lowest cost. AI Voices will require licenses. next step up would be a level of AR interactivity. TBH if i were to run some kinda project management/development management first, I'd lazer focus on rocket-boosting the AI/machine learning used for chatting/motivating/rewarding with sweetness/lewdness/etc. grab the key emotional/intellectual aspect of interactivity and make sure its hitting the bullseye. have there been such efforts? I know nothing about AI/machine learning but seeing as how most folks here are chomping at the bit to have a nandroid, is there some way to gather data from multiple users to fine tune response styles and have it used as a part of the learning reference data for the AI in general?
>>29589 I think it mostly comes down to two things (in our specific domain's case), Anon: 1. General startup inertia (both literal & figurative) in industries that rely significantly on physical materials/manufacture (as opposed to primarily 'soft' industries). 2. FUD regarding the stranglehold of feminism on the culture. This is created by the GH ofc -- who oh just so happen to run the Central Banks with their fiat money printing presses as well..., so no real surprise. So, two things are coming down the pipe for robowaifus in particular: 1. This will start up as a grassroots movement, just as embodied in /robowaifu/, et al, and then be taken up by smaller interests -- probably mostly from the Far East. 2. Once the undeniable appeal and clearly yuge market demand becomes apparent even to normals, then the GH will 'suddenly' do a 180 and """inform""" the world that, "Yes, we've always been at war with Eurasia we'll need humanoid robots b/c muh_economy, and we'll condescend to allowing you vermin to have even personal robots as well -- aren't we nice!? (for only a nominal fee of no less than 35% [and up] of your monthly UBI budget) * plus absolute & complete, invasive surveillance & remote-control (by our agents), given to you for no additional charge! (so don't miss those payments)" >tl;dr Just say no to their evil plots. IMO we here on /robowaifu/ -- and other DIY-alikes similar to us -- are already on the only viable pathway into the future of loving, affordable, open-source, 100% disconnected robowaifus to help out men (males specifically) the world-over. >>29598 >slumming the various posts Thanks for gracing us with your favor & presence, friend.

Beginners guide to AI, ML, DL. Beginner Anon 11/10/2020 (Tue) 07:12:47 No.6560 [Reply] [Last]
I already know we have a thread dedicated to books,videos,tutorials etc. But there are a lot of resources there and as a beginner it is pretty confusing to find the correct route to learn ML/DL advanced enough to be able contribute robowaifu project. That is why I thought we would need a thread like this. Assuming that I only have basic programming in python, dedication, love for robowaifus but no maths, no statistics, no physics, no college education how can I get advanced enough to create AI waifus? I need a complete pathway directing me to my aim. I've seen that some of you guys recommended books about reinforcement learning and some general books but can I really learn enough by just reading them? AI is a huge field so it's pretty easy to get lost. What I did so far was to buy a non-english great book about AI, philosophycal discussions of it, general algorithms, problem solving techniques, history of it, limitations, gaming theories... But it's not a technical book. Because of that I also bought a few courses on this website called Udemy. They are about either Machine Learning or Deep Learning. I am hoping to learn basic algorithms through those books but because I don't have maths it is sometimes hard to understand the concept. For example even when learning linear regression, it is easy to use a python library but can't understand how it exactly works because of the lack of Calculus I have. Because of that issue I have hard time understanding algorithms. >>5818 >>6550 Can those anons please help me? Which resources should I use in order to be able to produce robowaifus? If possible, you can even create a list of books/courses I need to follow one by one to be able to achieve that aim of mine. If not, I can send you the resources I got and you can help me to put those in an order. I also need some guide about maths as you can tell. Yesterday after deciding and promising myself that I will give whatever it takes to build robowaifus I bought 3 courses about linear alg, calculus, stats but I'm not really good at them. I am waiting for your answers anons, thanks a lot!

I don't know anything about this but it recommended by a programmer with 40 years experience. I read his forum and he talks about various stuff he's doing. He writes sorts of stuff for various companies. He also is using AI to write software and port older code he has. It's working well for him. He suggested the libraries they have are useful. tinyML Foundation The community for ultra-low power machine learning at the edge https://www.tinyml.org/ I have no idea of their capabilities but it sure sounds like something that could be helpful. They are doing AI stuff with micro controllers, so they say. He also suggested this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL1zltXuHO8

I was reading the other day that like 99% of the neuron capacity is useless in present algorithms. I read it here >>3031 that, "...it now takes 44 times less compute to train a neural network... algorithmic progress has yielded more gains than classical hardware efficiency..." "..By 2028 we will have algorithms 4000x more efficient than AlexNet." So maybe it's not all hype. Maybe there is some big increase in efficiency. Maybe even enough that we could get some sort of interactive waifu, at a child level, with commodity processors.

/robowaifu/ + /all things monster girl/; it's benefits, projects, the uncanny valley, etc. Robowaifu Technician 05/03/2021 (Mon) 14:02:40 No.10259 [Reply] [Last]
Discussing the potential benefits of creating monster girls via robotics instead of 1 to 1 replicas of humans and what parts can be substituted to get them in production as soon as possible. Firstly is the fact that many of the animal parts that could be substituted for human one are much simpler to work with than the human appendages, which have a ton of bones and complex joints in the hands and feet, My primary example of this is bird/harpy species (image 1), which have relatively simple structures and much less complexity in the hands and feet. For example, the wings of the bird species typically only have around three or four joints total, compared to the twenty-seven in the human hand, while the legs typically only have two or three, compared to the thirty-three in the human foot. As you can guess, having to work with a tenth of the bones and joints and opposable thumbs and all that shit makes things incredibly easier to work with. And while I used bird species as an example, the same argument could be put forward for MG species with paws and other more simplistic appendages, such as Bogey (image 2) and insect hybrids (image 3). Secondly is intentionally making it appear to not be human in order to circumvent the uncanny valley. It's incredibly difficult to make completely convincing human movement, and one of the simplest ways around that is just to suspend the need for it entirely. We as humans are incredibly sensitive to the uncanny valley of our own species, even something as benign as a prosthetic limb can trigger it, but if we were to create something that we don't expect to move in such a way, it's theoretically entirely possible to just not have to deal with it (for the extremities part of it, anyways), leaving more time to focus on other aspects, such as the face. On the topic of face, so too could slight things be substituted there (again for instance, insect girls), in order to draw attention away from the uncanny valley until technology is advanced enough that said uncanny valley can be eliminated entirely. These possibilities, while certainly not to the taste of every anon, could be used as a way to accelerate production to the point that it picks up investors and begins to breed competition and innovation among people with wayyyyyyy more money and manpower than us, which I believe should be the endgoal for this board as a whole. . Any ideas or input is sincerely appreciated.

>>25707 >>26014 > The conclusion I came to was that you’d need at least 5 separate contractile regions, all independently addressable, AND able to contract dY for the snake-bot to be capable of any generalized sort of locomotion. Yes, that's just what the design I described should do. By having the cable winches attached to several disc vertebrae down-body from each winch, the overlap of each set of cables emulates the overlap of muscles in a snake's body. In this way the contraction of each set of cables can be individually controlled to either stand alone or gang together over a distance of several vertebrae, and the size of each "muscle" group (and therefore the number of muscle groups) can be varied on the fly by the controlling code. The operation of the cable winch groups can be done in sequence along the body to emulate the sinuous movement of a snake, and the winch-and-cable sets in the vertical plane for coiling the body can be used to adjust the areas of contact with the surface the body is moving over. To be clear, each vertebra is attached to several winches by cables, and can be acted upon by one or any number of the cables attached to it. The force of each winch is spread over several vertebrae, but several winches acting on each vertebrae combine to increase the force applied. By varying the spacing of the vertebrae discs, the diameter of each vertebrae disc, vs the diameter of the foam body and the resiliency of the foam used for the body (say 8" dia. vertebrae spaced 6" and 12" body dia.), it should be possible for the coils to be as tight as a few inches. With a larger sized object, like anon's body, our lamia should have no problem exerting a firm grip. As with an arachne, anon should probably have a safe word. Something I didn't think of before, real snakes are able to do a twisting motion with at least the forward part of their bodies, so we may also want to copy that. The 18" body size I mentioned before was at the "hip" area before the tapering of the snake body. I should have made that clear. >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32271916/ (source analysis) >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36296136/ (proposed robotic design based on analysis) Thanks, I'll take a look at these when I have a chance. >===

>>25838 >find out how many legs of a spider are off the ground at one time as it is moving At most four. There are always at least 4 on the ground at any time in the walking cycle. So each of our spider-girl's legs must be able to support 1/4 of her total weight, plus whatever extra we decide on for contingencies. That could be 1/3 of the total weight (maybe a little more?), in case one leg is disabled, so she could still safely walk to her service area (if the code isn't smart enough to adapt to a broken leg). Or if you are feeling particularly ambitious you might want her strong enough to carry her own weight plus anon's weight (plus excess safety margin) for when she needs to carry anon somewhere after demonstrating her web-spinning. In that case only four legs might be walking so 3 on the ground at all times, a quadruped. Here's a site with a good description of how spider legs work: Leg Uses Hydraulics and Muscle Flex https://asknature.org/strategy/leg-uses-hydraulics-and-muscle-flex/ Here's a paper on soft robotic spider legs cited on the website^.

>>26056 >in case one leg is disabled, so she could still safely walk to her service area (if the code isn't smart enough to adapt to a broken leg). Not sure how difficult it would be with servos w/o some dissassembly but with electrical motors regardless of type you can closely aproximate their % load by how much current they draw relative to max allowed which should not be difficult to track via analog inputs. Some simple algorithm would then calculate how many legs may be in air at any time and how far can legs neighbouring strained limb move to offset its load.

/waifu energy source general/ What do you think that our waifus will use for energy?And how much energy it needs to use?From my rough calculations if will need about 2kw for the computer plus 500w for the mechanical part(although I am not sure about the last part because I am not very familiar with the mechatronics ). Surely we don't want to use something like an engine because of the noise ,vibrations and the exhaust.The current state of the battery is not suitable for our goals because of the low energy density (energy per square meter).I think that PEM battery will be a good choice because of the lack mechanical parts , huge energy density , the energy is in the form of electricity.The only downside , for now , is the fact that the PEM layer is VERY expensive ,at least for now .

I'm sure smaller sorts have lower rotating mass and things, but the point is that having turbines /= RPMs necessarily. Also, nobody is going to want to share an enclosed space with a smog rotor. You're really talking about an outdoors-only device by that point. Maybe try hydrogen or something idk If you're interested in outdoors miniature engines and things there's a man who's made a prototype sterling engine out of a Chrysler air conditioning compressor, his channel is called kirkolator1. I'm not sure if he ever reached viability with his project or not, but the point was that any unrefined "fuel oil" could work just the same as the propane he was utilising.
>>28734 >Also, nobody is going to want to share an enclosed space with a smog rotor. You're really talking about an outdoors-only device by that point. I wrote that I meant it for outside. That said, if the noise was dampened by the body and the exhaust captured or filtered, then letting it run for a few minutes might be okay in some edge cases, e.g. lifting something heavy or climbing stairs. >Maybe try hydrogen or something idk Even if, then this conventional fuel engine is worth mentioning. I don't try anything about this anytime soon, I just wanted to have it in mind as an option. Hydrogen is hard to store and not very energy dense, btw. Ethanol would be quite interesting. At the end of the day, whatever works for the specific use case is the right choice. This is meant as an option, and needs to be as small and light as possible, durable and with easy access to fuel. > interested in outdoors miniature engines and things there's a man who's made a prototype sterling engine This could be generally interesting, but I didn't even look if there was a Sterling engine for this use case, because I think they tend to be bigger. If anything then it would need to be very small and maybe could be used with steam. A waifu could gather sunlight with heatpipes under the skin and create steam and then use that to run the engine. Once again, this would only be for outside. More like this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YKrdfjO9SBg - so if it is not needed then the additional wheight won't matter, also the smaller it is the better we can dampen the noise.

>>28710 >>28707 For example, if you can guarantee perfect conditions, treat it with formaldehyde and then seal it with an epoxy or resin coat (if you're dealing with a consumer product then at some point there will be some regulator requiring the organic material be irradiated or treated with a sterilizing chemical for 'safety'(most of these cause interesting cancers), you would have a very strong and light weight skeleton with mild flexibility.

Black Magic M66 3D Modelling Project & Battledroid Robowaifus SophieDev 07/27/2021 (Tue) 14:03:16 No.11776 [Reply] [Last]
Decided it may be best to place my 3D digital modelling efforts in a separate thread to my work on 'Elfdroid Sophie'. I think this thread will still belong under "Personal Projects". At the moment the 3D modelling begins over on her thread: >>11644 >>11657 I'm using some source material from Masamune Shirow's 1987 OVA "Black Magic - M66" (which itself was based off his 1983 manga). However, as a child of the late eighties/early nineties, I loved 'Transformers', and I was also a big fan of the 'Heavy Gear' series (similar to MechWarrior), and Armored Core. So I often get the urge to create battle-ready robowaifus, but I can only create them virtually. Because obviously I cannot get hold of machine-guns, explosives, tank cannons, and rocket launchers IRL. Good thing, too, since if I were given access to live ammunition I would almost certainly blow myself into a flying streamer of giblets. But I digress. This thread may also be a good place for any equally deranged anons who wish to post images of military-grade robowaifus, either found online or their own creations? --- >lock cf. (>>30234)

>>20270 > Normies Everywhere: > That's exactly what you are trying to do as well. You're just wrong more often. No, this is one thing humans do, but certainly not all we do. Predicting the next word is what these models do, though this is already very impressive. That said, nobody can know what other elements Cai uses for their chatbots.
Been looking into GPTs just lately, and found this one called 'Genie' that can create 3D models just from a simple text prompt. I think they have improved quite a bit since I last tried out an older one called 'Leonardo A.I.'. My prompts were just: Shiny, metal robot girl. Cyberpunk anime robot girl. Supergirl (came out very well because she is such a prolific comic book character). Finally, I really took a shot in the dark and gave it something very obscure: Sanakan from BLAME! 2017 animated sci-fi film. But even with this, I can see that the A.I. had source data from dark cyberpunk anime, if not the actual 'BLAME!' anime and manga themselves. One model bears a resemblance to the Electrofisher suits that the characters in the movie wear...perhaps fused with a little of the Safeguard Exterminators? All of these models are completely A.I. generated - both basemesh and PBR textures!
These were the models generated from the (relatively) obscure anime/manga prompt that actually impressed me the most, despite only being low-res attempts.
>>28643 I did something like this here >>24479 (corrected link). But I tried something more related to building robowaifus. Going from a portrait without hair to a 3D model. (Edit; Had to correct the link)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY /ROBOWAIFU/ Robowaifu Technician Board owner 11/27/2019 (Wed) 17:27:05 No.1591 [Reply] [Last]
7th Birthday Edition greeting here: (>>26581) --- >original (albeit a bit edited) OP follows: Well it's Thanksgiving time again and that means it's /robowaifu/s birthday time too. It's been 3 full years since we began, and this last one has been a bit of a ride tbh. With the deplatforming of 8ch all of us who had communities there were mostly left out in the cold. Thankfully we've been given a new home here in our bunkerhome at JulaynuJulay, and a few of us have found our way back together here. Hopefully the rest of us will find Julay, and /robowaifu/ again as well. We've also made some new friends since we've been here, and I think we're in pretty good shape all things considered. On the topic of deplatforming, we have a new archival system in action that keeps a copy of the board up to date on my machine. Note that my original intent was to fully automate the archive.today archives, but it hasn't worked properly (they seem to be fighting against bots pretty hard now). I hope at least one other of you will also join in for the approach that's actually working, and use BUMP to keep at least one other copy of /robowaifu/ safe in addition to my own. You never know what might happen to my gear (or even to me), and it's just smart thinking to have at least two of us keeping this board safe. My intent is to finish up the system for board migrations (along with Robi), and then bring over other things from the old files and get this board in shape again. Then we can keep it fully backed up together. As you regulars know, /robowaifu/ is basically unique among imageboards and well-deserves preservation IMO. Any other takers for doing backups as well? I just use a cronjob and it's all fully automatic daily I never have to touch it. I'll explain everything in detail how to do it if anyone else wants to participate. One other thing; should anything ever happen to Julay, just regroup on FatchanAnoncafe in our bunker-bunker there. Actually, I'm pretty upbeat about both the world of IB communities in general, and our own /robowaifu/ in particular. We all took a hard knock a few months ago, but we're back on our feet and in the fight again. Kudos in particular to both Julay and Smug for their innovations with the webring introduction. It's lent a resilience to the underlying systems for all our various communities that we've never had before afaict. This alone should help to ensure we have a long future of shitposting together anons. Anyway moving on, I hope this coming year will also see a resurgence in everyone's posts here about their personal projects. I intend to do so myself. It's always a pleasure to see Anon's efforts and blog-posts about their current attempts and ideas, regardless whether they are successes or failures. Persistence is really the single most important factor for eventual success--even more than innate talent--and so just don't quit anon! Don't be afraid to get back in the game even if you met with failure before. Try something different this time, right?

Those simple bare necessities Robowaifu Technician 09/01/2020 (Tue) 06:14:32 No.4908 [Reply]
Here we have Maslow's hiearchy of needs. A psychological theory that basically breaks down what a man needs and what he can seek out in life. This seems like a good framework to identify what niche your robowaifu can address in her function, and how exactly to accomplish that. I think the third tier up is what most of us seek from a robowaifu. No matter how inert your robowaifu is in function, even motionless plastic can give you a sense of connection if you project a personality onto it. What do you think? Does Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a theory relate to you and your projects? Is there anything to this at all?

>>4921 I thought the discussion was just about which part of the hierarchy robo-waifus fulfill. But yeah, the structure must be done from bottom, so unless you have the lowest two sections, robo-waifus won't be of much use.
>>4924 The idea is that you could potentially build a robowaifu to fulfill any part of that hierarchy. Like for the physiological needs, a robowaifu that can help you keep track of your day-to-day health.
>>27853 I suspect that the culprit is either lobbying groups, or the people behind the chart genuinely felt the need to clarify. One thing to keep in mind is that not all sex leads to reproduction, and not all reproduction comes from sex (at least, not anymore). Whoever made the decision to change the exact word used clearly cares about that distinction. As for how robowaifus relate to the chart, I'd posit that they can provide substance to all five levels: (1) They provide sex if you follow the old wording. If you follow the new wording, one could stretch that the creation of a new form of existence in your image is a sort of reproduction. Alternately, the issue of reproduction will likely be solved within the decade. (2) They can provide (mental) health, and aid in the retention of property, resources (by helping you keep track of these things) and personal security (you can set her up to be your own personal surveillance network). (3) They can provide intimacy (both physcal and psychological) (4) They can help your self-esteem, and provide a sense of freedom. (5) They can help you become the most that you can be.
>>27867 >cannibalistic lesbians I won't ask, and I'd very much like it if you don't tell. >We already have a story about a world of men who forsook their women for gynoids Is it one I wrote, or are you referring to something older? >other versions of the chart That makes sense. Too many people have varying ideologies for there not to be several semantically different iterations of the same idea. Nonetheless, I think my point still stands regardless of what sits where in the chart.
Try no fap for a year i think thats what it means to be at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs lol
