ChatBot

A computer program that can interact with a human through a chat interface and is designed to simulate a human. Conversation Agents or Dialog Systems. Example -> SIRI, Google Now -> voice based chatbots.

ELIZA - The first ever chatbot - 1966 - Joseph Weisenbaum at MIT labs.

  • It applys pattern matching techniques.
  • It was the first chatbot to win the Alan Turing test built in 1950. "The Turing Test of Artificial Intelligence" - The judge has to guess if the random respondent is a computer program or a real human. If the computer program is indistinguishable from the human, it wins!.

ELIZA taught us that "Humans have a desire to communicate with the computer in much the same way as they do with another human."

A.L.I.C.E. -> Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity - 1995

  • Inspired by ELIZA, employs pattern matching to process human input.
  • Introduced the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML).
