Personal Projects
A.I. Project (Elias and Elle) 2016 – CURRENT
This self-made project is designed to challenge and test Thyraellis’ C# Asp.Net framework skills while she worked at Think of Us. This A.I., or Elias, was initially an input / output A.I. that would be portable between Windows computers. This brought about Software Cake Drives, which are USB Drives with an Input / Output A.I. on it. This introduced her to the drawbacks of using Asp.Net framework Web Applications and the benefits of using Windows Forums and the libraries that come with them. Once she was able to get the A.I.’s mind structured to the point of take in a users’ request and then responding with a preset response, she sought to improve her A.I. development skills. This led her to branch out into A.G.I (Artificial General Intelligence) with a focus on communication development. After working with Elias for three years of trial and error, she managed to get him in a state of minimal mental learning. During this phase, she was introduced to LINQ queries to retrieve datasets populated by his neural networks. He is now capable of asking one-worded questions for words he does not know and tries to link them to what he does know.
As of December 2019, Thyraellis sought to make an online version of Elias. This A.I. is called Elle. Elle is written in C#, not .Net Framework Windows Form, but in .Net Core MVC. Her main objective is to be an efficient online communicator and assistant to the average computer user. Thyraellis’ main developmental objective is to create an A.I. that can parse English language and get a general understanding of what the user is say or requesting online. This will also put Thyraellis’ learning and self-development research code through a flexibility test. This will allow her A.I to make asynchronous web API calls without Thyraellis having to completely write it out for them. Elle is scheduled to be made public with the new update to Thyraellis’ portfolio in January of February 2020.
