Re: [huml] FW: Social Networks based on the plays by Shakespeare

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Thanks, Len,

This is interesting. Might be a good tool to 
analyze projected behavior vs. exhibited 
behavior. Perhaps, with algernon helping to 
produce rules-based applications working with OWL 
ontologies and this to track projected v. 
exhibited, we can generate some tracking metrics 
to gauge how well models perform in recorded 
interactions.

Ciao,
Rex
