Well, for me, the first one is a Dead link and the second one does not load at all...just keeps trying and trying....

[8pla.net]

Thank you, Art!
Confirmed.  There were
some broken links.  Oops!

Reading glasses might
be a good idea   
All broken links have
been fixed.

However, that won't do it...
The webhost timed out. 
Hence, we have downtime.
Thank you so much for
your precious feedback.

MAJOR UPDATE

Your help is requested at : http://www.chatbot.tk/technology   

Just connected a new light weight A.I. engine design to the interface. All new alpha code, in need of testing from friends like you. As you might expect, it has a much smaller knowledgebase than those found in popular chatbots like Mitsuku, ChatScript or RiveScript.  But designing new A.I. engines is rewarding fun too!

Hopefully, this new engine functions properly with a limited set of responses. The goal is to stabilize the simulation by locating and editing clearly noticeable errors in the knowledgebase and source code.  Once stable, the knowledgebase can be expanded.  Convincingness, is something you can help support, as a future goal, by alpha testing this new light weight A.I. engine design.

Alpha testing is completely FREE and hassle free.  It is a simple alpha chat session with the A.I.  There is no joining any website, or giving any personal information.  There are no advertisements.  Please click this link to help with your alpha test support at :

Wow! Alpha testing has begun.  Thank you so much!

So far it correctly handles the user chat and
produces responses which are not broken.

Further alpha testing, will almost certainly,
reveal some basic errors, which need fixing.

Please share your alpha testing experience here,
to encourage others to give it a try:

Please feel good, knowing your alpha testing is
helping a new A.I. join our community.

[8pla.net]

Thank you for alpha testing.  Early alpha testing shows no broken responses, so far.   Of course this early status report could easily change. It is unlikely there are no broken responses. However, if you find the A.I. responses are  accurate, your help is still very much needed for alpha testing. 

Please keep pushing the A.I. engine during alpha testing until it generates default responses.  This way those default responses can point to where new responses should be added. 

In addition to finding broken responses which need to be fixed, by studying the default responses, alpha testing helps find missing responses that should be added.

Not sure what you're looking for, but here are my impressions:

A chatbot should show the whole history of conversation (maybe just the current session). This one deletes history every second comment. Further, history should be in descending order from the top to the bottom.

Just my observation, I'm not sure if it even sounds right.

[8pla.net]

Wow, Ivan!  That's super helpful. 
Your observations are sure useful.
I didn't realize it was deleting
history every second comment.

And, yes, it should be descending.
Please don't hesitate to provide
feedback.  It is really valuable.

You know, I just built this system.
So, it is not so easy to catch it all.
Thanks so much for your cooperation.

This new technology is being designed to maximize the limits of an extremely minimal knowledgebase.  So it may not be analogous to BIG A.I. knowledgebases, at least in the early stages. 

A successful alpha test entails responsiveness to the user input, and responses that are not broken, nor random too often.  Perhaps, a small A.I. is improbable to cross the believability threshold while limited to an extremely minimal knowledgebase.

BIG A.I. does more with more.  I think Small A.I. is more fun, because Small A.I. has to do more with less.  Hopefully, there is enough room in the our community for small A.I., along side BIG A.I.

Face 3D

Reference: http://chatbot.tk/face3D

Three dimensional face with moving lips programmed the hard way using 3D mathematics. This design mimics a video player, to feel more familiar, but it is actually a fully programmed web application, with nothing pre-rendered.

There may be some issues, because it is so new and may need  optimization.  So, please don't hesitate to report any issues.  I would really like to hear from you. It is very helpful.

This is a limited demo right now. Programming 3D math correctly can be a slow process. As you can see, it is moving in the direction of being programmed to move around in 3D space to  lipsync a text to speech voice synthesis.  In other words, no matter which way the face is pointed, the lips postures are correctly rendered in 3D too.

Nicely done.

You know, HTML has built in support for SVG polygons rotated and translated over x, y and z axis. Works fine and fast, but SVG doesn't handle shading automatically, so if you want that too, you have to change colors of your vertexes on your own. And I think you can forget shadows with 3D SVG

[8pla.net]

Thank you Ivan,


I was searching for an open source

SVG polygon editor that was stable.

Initially, without success.


So, I'll do some more research on SVG.

In the meantime, I just added three more buttons

to further demonstrate the 3D,  and plan to do more.

Compared to a world champion class chat bot, usually with hundreds of thousands of records... This new technology does not rely on brute force, blasting hundreds of thousands of possible matches, at the user input, to be convincing. 

Chat history in reverse chronological order...

Code

You:	I did't know you were a robot.
A. I.	Perhaps in your fantasies we did not
	know each other.

You:	I just did explain it was to see
	you are well.
A. I.	Are you positive you just did explain
	it was to see robots are well?

You:	I am happy to see you are doing
	well.
A. I.	Can you explain why you are happy?

This new technology is about a thousand times smaller a world champion class chat bot. It has to manage to be convincing limited to a small record set.  As a result, it is much easier to update than a world champion class chat bot.  However, there is a noticeable difference of convincingness in the simulation.  This begs the question... Are hundreds of thousands of records the only method to achieve convincingness?  Or, is there a method for a smaller record set to achieve convincingness?

It can be achieved without thousands of records, but only records that are the most "related". That is, rather letting online users to teach it, you teach it yourself. Since exposing the poor AI to the public will result knowledge abusement, and wrong information being learned. Using "Elimination" method, the AI can learn more strictly without getting pummeled with false information and responses -- well, that's one way to go.

Edit: Hang on, what do you mean by  "convincingness"? O_o

Edit: Hang on, what do you mean by  "convincingness"? O_o

Convincingness is the difference between:

Human: How old are you?
Bot: I am 2 years old.

and

Human: How old are you?
Bot: I like fish.

The 1st answer is more convincing that you are talking to something at least simulating some form of intelligence.

[8pla.net]

'Hang on, what do you mean by  "convincingness"?', asked kei.  Convincingness is when a chatbot is able to be persuasive, that it is (almost) human. In saying, "simulating some form of intelligence", squarebear has an important point.  The chatbot must have that ability to find the best match.  However here is an interesting circumstance in A.I. engine design... Always matching the most excellent response has disadvantages too.

-- This which includes some default responses

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: I am 2 years old.

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: I like fish.

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: Please go on.


-- Is more convincing that this, which are all the best responses:

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: I am 2 years old.

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: I am 2 years old.

   Human: How old are you?
   Bot: I am 2 years old.
