I have tried replicating what you a talking about, but I haven't been able. When I ask him for a joke, he is quite funny. Do you have a screenshot to reproduce this?

What is wrong with his jokes? I have tried asking him a few and his responses are quite funny.

I have indeed heard about FreeHAL. It won "Most Popular" (in the past) in the same contest in which my bot most recently was awarded "Best New Bot". FreeHAL is now discontinued, last I've heard. Though were did you

For some reason, I'm not able to replicate the bug you caught. On my side, ACUMAN answers that question correctly.

I have encountered the same issue, but then again! Just continue building something, this time trying to fix the poor syntax practices that you have been caught with.

I am very indebted to my parents due to the way that I was raised and the freedom which being home-schooled permitted, but my parents are not familiar with the field of computer science and I must admit that I am entirely self-taught. This

Thank you! That's a nice compliment. For me, it was 5% reading, 95% hands-on experience, though it differs from person-to-person.

Those bugs are fixed and the algorithm regarding identifying countries and states in discussion has been improved.

As I've replied to other people: No AIML. My bot uses its own markup language custom-made to its needs that I call ACUMANSCRIPT. What makes it special is the backend, which is much more flexible and advanced then AIML (which focusing o

The model behind my project is not designed after human interaction, but rather a combination of what is the most efficient for me to maintain and best mimics human behavior. http://acuman.us/readmore.php

Hi, I wasn't able to reproduce that glitch.

I do pursue programming, and contribute to open-source projects such as DuckDuckGo. I also have a job as part of a web development and design team called http://www.whiskeyandwhiskey.com/ . I have quite a few opportunities f

That's actually a glitch that I am fixing... desperately! Some of the backend APIs are down due to excessive requests, so I am trying to get them back up.

My chatterbot received the definition by WolframAlpha, per as what it's programmed. It found the entity was "sentence" and then looked for a definition. It does not simply grab whatever WolframAlpha response it can find. Evid

There is a synonym directory programmed, as well as Named-enetity recognition.

by seanlevan 11y ago
I don't get what's new about any of this. I disclosed in this thread in other answers already the APIs I use, I have yet to know any "intelligent" piece of artificial intelligence software that is not dependent whatsoeve

Yes. If you were in a noticeably bad mood, the bot might make a comment on it. It also picks on your hobbies and goals, and asks more questions about them or reminds you to follow through with them.

by seanlevan 11y ago
That's a funny exchange! The particularly odd thing is the fact that he missed the Named-entity recognition in some of those answers- including by not identifying that you were referring to the fact that you were moving to a state. He

Thank you for expressing interest. You are correct, there are some issues that may be encountered with Firefox, particularly in a non-OS X or non-Windows environment. I am currently working on fixing those bugs. Here is the URL: http:&#x2F

My favorite moments of my chatterbot is when he exhibits a sense of humor. :)

by seanlevan 11y ago
Thank you. I believe that it must be a coincidence, or a way in which it deems an appropriate manner to react to your mood/state. Do you have any specific case examples that are particularly off-putting?

by seanlevan 11y ago
Unfortunately, ACUMAN is closed-source due to the fact that it is actively being entered in competitive contests and trade fairs.

I believe my LinkedIn should be sufficient evidence...? I don't understand your demand, though I suppose it is a compliment?

by seanlevan 11y ago
That's the interesting thing- I am not, unlike most chatterbot projects, using existing technologies and jumbling it together- a quick glance at the "read more" page on the technologies of ACUMAN will tell you otherwise. Ever

No - if you look up Blekko (which is a regular web search engine which had a free API), it just shut down (which is actually a bad thing for me). I was using it for researching and corroborating web results, which hinders part of the functi

Thank you for participating in the survey, first of all! I'll consider implementing one of those options. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for checking out ACUMAN. I have fixed the glitch just now that prevented it from answering those questions normally.

by seanlevan 11y ago
While I understand where you are coming from, obviously the bot is not flawless, but it is ridiculous to compare our technology today to Eliza. ACUMAN uses a wealth of knowledge bases and natural language processing to comprehend and accura

More specifically, science fairs, where I present my project abstract and convey the idea.

Thank you for your kind words and for checking it out! That bug, along with others, have been fixed. (Also thanks to user "danieloaks" who contributed some code here on Hacker News.)
