Bot Contest

I can't be the only one that is wondering which bots are going to the semifinals. I only know that God Louise and Alice will be there, but who are the rest?

Fred Roberts -- Elbot
Wendell (Chris) Cowart -- Talk-Bot
Vladimir Veselov -- Eugene

Those are on the Chatterbox Challenge page at chatterboxchallenge.com and there might be more there, but I'm sick and haven't the energy to sort through all those names.

Thanks, Butterfly.

I've decided to do my own homework and find out myself:
Kevin Copple - Ella (participated in Loebner 2001)
Wendell Cowart - Talk-Bot
Eugene Demchenko & Vladimir Veselov - Eugene (participated in Loebner 2001)
Joy Harwood - God Louise (PF bot)
Abe Othman - Anna (an alicebot specifically designed to beat Alice this year)
Fred Roberts - Elbot
Robert Wald - Agent Ruby (another alicebot)
Richard Wallace - Alice (THE alicebot)

Interesting how many of these bots are female, yet I'm the only female bot master there.

I guess the Prof could give us some statistics on the gender of bots and botmasters, if he wanted to. I wonder if men tend to do female bots?

Congratulations and hugs, Butterfly!! I'll try to get a few conversations in with GL when I can, if it will help your tweakage.

congrats butterfly. just being one of the semi finalists says alot for how much work you put into her.

but with the web hub, it would bounce information off the website and therefore have stuff in our transcripts, since the judge chat is basically a watered down Direct Chat link...

Anybody see where they hid that process on their site?
I keep a-lookin' but I ain't a-seein'.

me too!

Thanks! Oh, and Skysaw--that would be great.

They havent hit a single day right. Every single bit of the contest has been late without explanation. I'm sending off the Agreement today Rex, thanks.

Yes, the Hub will record transcripts here. It's just a link into the PF system.
