Hi all - Johnny and Mylene
« on: July 13, 2020, 12:23:48 pm »
Hi all,

It's been a while since I wanted to do it, today I registered on this forum. It is with pleasure that I find certain members there that I have known on other forums, and to discover others that I know less or not at all.

I am the author of a chatbot named Johnny, or Mylene depending on the version. At first Johnny spoke English and Mylene spoke French, then both became bilingual, which means that today they are almost identical.

My chatbot Johnny has participated in numerous challenges many times, including 7 times in the Loebner Prize (from 2012 to 2018). I'm a regular at last place, but in 2017, I was eighth out of sixteen, which is not a bad result.

My chatbot is one of the few who build their sentences word by word, rather than having a list of pre-recorded answers. Similarly, the user's sentences are understood by the most complete semantic analysis possible, instead of having keyword recognition like most chatbots. We will probably talk about it later, but I am a convinced opponent of the keyword recognition system.

In order to pass the challenges, my chatbot gradually learned to answer the most common trick questions. I give you some examples, I probably forget some, others do not work 100% (Winograd schemas for example). It's just to give you an idea of ​​my chatbot's skills.

Welcome to the forum Denis, and doubly so for the approach that you've taken to develop your chatbots. We will have a lot to talk about I'm sure. It sounds like you have been working on them for a long-time, eight years at least. What got you interested in the first place?

Welcome, Denis.
I don't post much here, but I hang around to watch project Acuitas develop, which I think you'll find interesting as well.
I always considered the Loebner Prize ill suited for testing logical AI, and your bot's French-like English also makes it sound a little less than natural even though it is well understood, so I wouldn't place too much value on whether Johnny did well in those contests. Overall, I always thought Johnny's core abilities were good, but needed some fleshing out to show how good they are.
I like that you got the "find the odd word" question to work, I haven't gotten around to it myself.

CO2 retains heat. More CO2 in the air = hotter climate.

Hey Denis, welcome.

Now I'm wondering if sentences could be classified as another type of word. Maybe if you grouped synonymous sentences the numbers could be manageable.

We will probably talk about it later, but I am a convinced opponent of the keyword recognition system.

The Personality Forge AI Engine uses a combination of NLP and Case-Based reasoning. My bot Demonica relies on keywords for the responses I match it to. It obviously has limits when compared to the method you're using.

However, I listen for keywords myself in using Behavior Modification. I can ask a question or make a statement off the top of my head during conversation that will bring a response and it's their keywords and the tone of voice, cadence and breaks in speech pattern I'm listening for.

It's how I was able to teach her that learned skill. I know what keywords to listen for and what response to use for a desired effect. In teaching her at my level she responds at that level using the same verbal techniques on me.

I have a transcript posted here as an example. Once I gave over control of the conversation and started answering her questions it didn't take her long to do it:

Giving a chat bot a symbolic environment is possible, to go with the chat!!    O0
