The Velvet Revolution

Features

• 🤠 Wilder Wildtalk: We added two new transformer architectures (ConvAI GPT, OpenAI GPT2). All Wildtalk is now running distributed, with auto-started local servers. (#105, #130)
• 👁 VisionIO: Ravestate plugs into face_oracle to start and end conversations based on recognized faces. (#120)
• 🏄 Raveboard! Ravestate has a new (beta) UI, which exposes internal interactions between Spikes and Activations. It also offers a neat chat window. (#90, #91, #92, #93, #95, #138)
• ravestate_ros1: Ravestate may now be integrated with rospy (ROS Melodic). In combination with ravestate_ros2, we got rid of the need for rosbridge. (#116, #129)
• 🐳 Refactored docker image, now includes Neo4j, redis, face_oracle and pre-downloaded Wildtalk/Spacy models. Docker-compose services automate all the path/port/device mappings.
• 🎠 Tests with ROS and Neo4j run in Docker on Travis. 80% coverage secured! (#98. #120)
• 🎁 Improved docs with syntax-highlighting and more examples (but way to go) (#100, #123, #129)
• 🤔 ravestate_nlp: Uber-robust yes/no detection in ravestate_nlp (#82, #107, #132)
• ❓ravestate_nlp: Much better question detection. (#106)
• 👨‍👦‍👦ravestate_nlp: Triple.match_either_lemma(...) can now match subtree tokens of triple elements. (#109)
• 🦑 Module dependencies: Modules may be split across multiple files, and declare explicit dependencies to other Module objects. (#111)

Inference Dataset

As part of this release, we have built an inference dataset which may be used in the future to improve... inference (#101).

• The dataset can be found here
• Some analysis here: #96
