  1. A.F.K. by SoTel

  2. An Introduction to SoTel • SoTel created A.F.K., an Android application used to auto generate text message responses to other users. • A.F.K. created to help automate responses to those annoying, needy text-ers.

  3. How does it work?

  5. NLP • Phonology •  Sounds of words, for spoken input • Morphology •  Meanings of the different parts of the word (suffix, prefix...) • Lexical •  Meaning of individual words • Syntactic •  Grammatical structure of the sentence • Semantic •  Overall meaning of a sentence • Discourse •  Meaning of all sentences together • Pragmatic •  Understanding intentions of speech

  6. NLP The Basics: • Tagging  • Parsing • Dependencies Example:     The Stanford Parser • http://nlp.stanford.edu:8080/parser/

  7. Our NLP Input sentence:  The dog runs very quickly Penn-style Parse tree:  (TOP (S (NP (DT The) (NN dog)) (VP (VBZ runs) (ADVP (RB very) (RB quickly))))) Flattened String:  TOP S NP DT The NN dog VP VBZ runs ADVP RB very RB quickly Tokens:  TOP, S, NP. DT, The, NN, dog, VP, VBZ, runs, ADVP, RB, very, RB, quickly

  8. Our NLP The parse tree also contains information as to what kind of sentence it is, such as a question, or statement. By looking at our parse tree and the Penn Tree Bank POS tags we extract the main subject of the sentence to send to the NLG.     Ex. I love cats.          Main Subject: CATS If it is a question, it will even tell us if it is a who, what, or where question. If it is a question with no subject then we just pass it to our NLG, which may or may not have an answer.

  9. Android SMS Background • Android works in mysterious ways. • Currently there is no standard long term database for text messages. • Any text messaging client can have its own individual text message database. • Although there's no documentation on how to do this, it is an unwritten rule to use the stock app's database  • This allows any text messages sent and received from on app to apply to the history of all apps.

  10. Android App' • When the app is opened, your most recent text messages are logged.  • A background thread is also started which diffs your most recent text message received against the previously logged messages at 1/30 Hz. (The rest of the program is executed in the background thread) • Once a diff is found, the thread requests for a response from the server.  • Then creates a message deliver intent and a BroadcastReciever. • If the message is successfully sent, the message is added to the sent message database and then updates old text DB. 

  11. Server The server is comprised of three parts:     aiServer: a Python-based web server     NLPmes: Our NLP (mentioned earlier)     AIML Database: Our database of response tokens.     AIMLParse: AIML Database manipulator.

  13. Project Feedback and Evaluation Based on the Turing Test and Other Questions • Is there an automated response to the text message? • Does the response seem intelligent for a computer? • Does the response seem at the intelligence level of a human? • Is the response a reasonable reply for the text message? • Is it plausible that without knowing the truth, a person would believe that there was another person sending the texts? (Turing test) User Feedback • Impressions on Overall Project •   How were the auto-generated responses?
