Bot Contest

The CBC seems to have blown up. Ehab is taking the site down. If you want any copies of your bots transcripts, you had better snag them now.

The results may be interesting or not at all. Got this post from the CBC board from Ehab

From where you've assumed that the results are done! In fact, I've received results from 3 judges while there are 2 judges left. I'm not even sure if they'll even continue logging or judging

I am surprised that AIML bots got that high. Our bots are much more intelligent with memories, emotions and multi-conditional responses. And what do they have - a larger database of common knowledge?

The one got that high, because they asked it the questions twice. The first time the answers weren't that great. The second time was quite remarkable. I am sure we would have done much better if we had the answers before the judging too.
The Forge bots suffered because the Forge seized up and the judges didn't finish asking questions. I don't know what database of common knowledge you are talking about?

OOOPs you mean the ALICE data base, I thought you meant a Forge one. I need more coffee or new glasses. Sorry

Good Luck,

I really would recommend anyone enter your bot. You get so many good conversations that it helps you learn. There is no fee, no pressure, just fun, and you can win lots of cash.

LAST DAY TO ENTER THE CBC...Please enter, there aren't many bots and there is a good chance to win. There is cash this year. There are very few Forge bots!

The voting for popular bot is on. Please vote for your favorite.
