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.
