Albert One • Used multiple response methods. • Consisted of several executables. • More humanlike for having variety. • Built after first two strategies failed. • Based on observations of past contests. • Controller had built-in stimulus-response database.
Ella - EllaZ Systems • Multi-functional bot • Builds intelligence one feature at a time • Has arithmetic and formula handling • Enables external data sources with NLP • Integrates internal, external, and database response methods • Does this by synthesizing a response using templates to format data from various resources into one or more messages.
Web One • Designed to improve on Albert’s “idiot savant” • Hierarchical organization of data sources was intended to aid content authoring. • Capable of giving presentations with voice synthesizers and web based presentation. • Some proactive behaviours were attempted.
JFRED as Controller • Java-based Fuzzy Logic Chat Engine. • Regex rules aid classification of input. • Has it’s own default topic. • Allows for separation of agenda and content. • Placed at top of hierarchy gives priority to it’s own responses.
Summary • Combining resources with multiple bots is possible with or without the internet. • Just like people, one bot can’t know everything. • Bots could share. • Bots may know one another. • Happy Chatterbotting!
