Chatbots
Automated 'coach' could help with social interactions (w/ Video)
Social phobias affect about 15 million adults in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, and surveys show that public speaking is high on the list of such phobias. For some people, these fears of social situations can be especially acute: For example, individuals with Asperger's syndrome often have difficulty making eye contact and reacting appropriately to social cues.

The selected judges will independently examine all the ChatBots that fulfill the following criteria and are up to the mark as far as the proficiency is concerned: Most Popular.AudioElla™ Project
Below are links to sound recordings of the AudioElla system in action. For these recordings, the AudioElla system was run on an IBM ThinkPad ® laptop computer with 256 MB of RAM memory and a 1000 MHz Pentium processor. This is similar to the power of computer hardware contemplated for use in deployed systems. The voice recognition function requires no user voice training, and users can be changed at any time. The conversations are completely hands-free after the program is started. Ella stops listening while she is talking, and resumes listening when she is finished, so there is no "push-to-talk" button needed.
Overview The goal of the Assistive AI project is to address the question of whether an intelligent computational can augment human creativity. We are exploring this question in the context of amateur digital animation.

Animated Talking Characters: The Marketing Of Social Intelligence Online
" Research shows that over 90% of people can find a character in interactive sessions that they prefer over no character at all. It takes only five choices to provide a character that is liked. But even when a single character is presented, only 15% of users dislike the character and those people can usually be accommodated by allowing them to opt out of character interactions in favor of other forms of navigation. Characters have also been shown to sustain liking across sessions (up to six months in length), making them appropriate for relationships that persist over time; for example, in the case of an instructional character giving lessons over multiple sessions. It is also important to note that a large majority of all users like characters; characters are not just for children and novices
How the Cleverbot Computer Chats Like a Human
Last week, an artificial intelligence computer named Cleverbot stunned the world with a stellar performance on the Turing Test — an IQ test of sorts for "chatbots," or conversational robots. Cleverbot, it seems, can carry on a conversation as well as any human can. In the Turing Test — conceived by British computer scientist Alan Turing in the 1950s — chatbots engage in typed conversations with humans, and try to fool them into thinking they're humans, too.

This crazy controversy about Denise , the artificial intelligence “DJ” being tested at KROV radio just took an interesting turn. Alan Cross took on Denise in a recent blog. A couple of days later, we opined in this space about how seminal personalities can have great impact on local communities. WCSX’s Steve Kostan , recently inducted in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame , was our poster boy for personality radio done right.Information Collection and Use We collect and use your information to provide our Services and improve them over time.

Services - Knowledge Bases Overview & Goals: User interactions with each digital persona must be a unique experience, yet in design and structure, knowledge bases must be similar, therefore aiding management and amendment. The creation of an intelligent virtual agent, chat bot or persona knowledge base is similar to that of a ‘Conversation Designer’. What will the user ask, what content can match these queries?

Part 1: preparations and AIML Here is part 2: here A chatbot isn't really just a funny ten-minutes laugh. You can create/use a chatbot for many other purposes. You can use/create a chatbot for helping the visitors of a website, giving information about your c ompany, or just for fun. In this tutorial, we are going to create a chatbot in python, with AIML, Artificial Intelligence Markup Language .
Tutorial PyAIML:Creating your own chatbot in python and AIML
Update 11/09/09 : GrokItBot now runs as a Twisted IRC bot, rather than an AIM one. Download the code from GitHub . GrokItBot is an IM bot that uses Py-TOC , PyAIML and Divmod Reverend to create an AIM bot that makes uses of AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) to respond to messages, combined with a Bayesian algorithm to provide learning and guessing capabilities. Credit should also be given to Mike Wakerly for his 'typing response' code. Overview
