2. Purpose of the AI4U EnPronoun English Pronoun Module

EnPronoun serves various purposes of substituting an English pronoun for a noun under discussion. For instance, if a human user asks the artificial intelligence a question like, "What do kids make?", the AI Mind needs to be able to respond in a manner like, "They make robots."


3. Algorithm of the AI4U EnPronoun mind-module

3.A. The calling module provides the parameters necessary for selecting a pronoun.

Typically the EnNounPhrase module, which deals with subjects of verbs and objects of verbs, will load the pertinent variables with the gender and number and case data necessary for selecting a pronominal form in the EnPronoun module.

3.B. As with humans, insufficient data may preclude the use of a pronoun.

If the AI Mind knows the name but not the gender of a person, the AI software may be coded to avoid calling the EnPronoun module so as to avoid a mistake.

3.C. The use of pronouns is especially important for query-responses.

If someone were to ask the AI "Where are John and Anna?", it would sound like natural human conversation if the AI were to respond, "He is in the house and she is in the car."


4. Code of EnPronoun() from ghost295.pl AI source code in Perl


sub EnPronoun() {  # http://ai.neocities.org/EnPronoun.html
  # 2019-03-02: stub only; needs full implementation.
  # print "\n EnPronoun: atcd= $atcd \n";  # 2019-03-02: TEST; REMOVE
} # 2019-03-02: EnPronoun() returns to EnNounPhrase() module.

5. Variables for the EnPronoun (English pronoun) mind-module

$atcd -- "antecedent" for EnPronoun.

$mfn -- masculine-feminine-neuter gender flag which plays an especially important role in the EnPronoun mind-module by determining whether EnPronoun will select "he", "she" or "it" to be the pronoun replacing a noun. To aid this process, every professional Mind Maintainer should consider embedding the most frequent masculine names for boys and the most frequent feminine names for girls in the MindBoot sequence, so that the mfn flag will be available as a determinant of which pronoun to use.

$num -- num(ber) flag for grammatical number, important for enabling the EnPronoun module to decide between using "he", "she", "it" as a singular pronoun or "they" as a plural pronoun.


6. Troubleshooting and Debugging for AI Mind Maintainers

6.1.a. Symptom: (Something goes wrong.)
6.1.b. Solution: (AI Mind Maintainer devises solution.)


7. Future Development of EnPronoun

AI pronoun technology is already advanced enough to take things to the next level and use the EnPronoun module to introduce relative clauses into the thinking of an AI Mind. It is easy for an AI coder to combine the following separate ideas into one sentence containing a subordinate clause.

I know a man.
The man loves music.
If both of the above ideas are active simultaneously in the AI Mind, the AI software could use the $etc variable to trigger the calling of EnPronoun for the replacement of "the man" with the relative pronoun "who".
I know a man who loves music.
The English-parser EnParser module may easily be enhanced to deal with the comprehension of incoming relative clauses by trapping such relative pronouns as "who" or "which" or "that" in order to assign associative tags among the subjects, verbs and objects of subordinate clauses.
