Artificial Intelligence - Egor - the basics

[xhable]

Plenty of simple bots like this hanging around on many irc channels.

@xhable I think I'll quote wikipedia on this one

''What distinguishes a chatbot from more sophisticated natural language processing systems is the simplicity of the algorithms used. Although many chatbots do appear to interpret human input intelligently when generating their responses, many simply scan for keywords within the input and pull a reply with the most matching keywords, or the most similar wording pattern, from a textual database."

@macdweeb This demo looked similar, a chicken is a bird, a sparrow is a bird, a bird is an animal, is a chicken an animal? would have made my brain happier

[macdweeb]

@xhable Yup that would have worked too, I think I already had it prelearned that a bird was an animal (through some learning text files before taking in keyboard input). And you are right, I didn't think about these demos that carefully, I'm sure they could have been better! :)

one small step for robot... one large step for AI

Yah, it seems prolog :D But of course prolog lacks of language recognition.

... isn't this just prolog? O_o (sorry, been ages since i've been to uni but that is something i remember quite clearly).

[macdweeb]

You can probably do similar things to those shown here in prolog .. I'm not that familiar with prolog. But these are just some most basic examples of logic - you should expect any logical system to exhibit similar behaviour I think.
