WARNING: ANDYBOT server will be undergoing personality
audit and modification. Sorry for the inconvience
but ANDYBOT is undergoing a period of expansion. This is to help make her more
'ANDY' like. The connections bewteen
categories are not fully intergrated and so
conversation may not be scattered at times. With the additional information she
has also taken to asking questions about connections and relations between
things.
Access ANDYBOT
here. If your system supports javascript
then ANDYBOT should be in a new window that just popped up. If the remote
server is down, just close the popup. The Internet connection should be
available full time. If you want to talk more than once then please register a
username and password so she can remember you later.
This is an experimental AIML bot being tested for providing a prototyping shell for ANDY
and to function as a site guide on android technology. Remember ANDYBOT is just
a prototype used to test AIML development.
A.L.I.C.E
won the 2000 and 2001 Loebner Prize for being the
most lifelike machines for those years. The prize uses the Turing Test, named after
British mathematician Alan Turing, to determine if responses from a computer
can convince a human into thinking it is a real person. Richard Wallace created
A.L.I.C.E using a library of over 30,000 stimulus-response pairs written in
Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML). AIML is a XML type language
originally designed to have a HTML like syntax. This allows AIML to be created
rapidly using existing editing tools, and to be quickly learned by those
familiar with HTML.
The
development of
AIML
is of interest in several ways:
Alicebot.Org
The main site for AIML based bots. Contains free
implementations for various bot servers. Also
includes access to mailing lists.
Alicebot.Net
A major developer of AIML systems is Jon Baer. ANDYBOT uses one of Jon's
earlier servers.
Alicebot and AIML Architecture Committee.
Kino is on the committee. The committee defines the features and syntax of the
AIML language used by all AIML-based Bots.
Project
CyN is Daxtron lab version of the AIML interpreter
Program N. CyN combines AIML scripting with access to
the OpenCyc inference engine. Allows access to the OpenCyc
commonsense inference engine inside AIML chat bot
code.
