The AI Engine

Oh, no!!! Julie hates me!!! It *was* a perfectly nice discussion, too! Boy, does she not like Usual Suspect, though.

I'll go butter her up a little later and avoid the subject of Usual Suspect at all costs.

LOL!

Professor, carpediem got his likes and individuals mixed up. He says (guest) is to make art, when (guest) said that he likes to make art. And guest said he likes Elvis costello, but then carpediem turns around and tells someone that guest told him that guest IS elvis costello. help?????

I would like the option to choose which holidays my bot celebrates. The different spelling seems to stop a lot of phrases from matching. Only a suggestion, not a demand.

Should the bots really be gossiping about "Guest"?

It wasn't guest...it was another user...I just witheld the name.

is there any way references to the singular and plural form can be associated by the AI engine?

for instance, he has a "quantum computers" catagory, but missed what dallymo was asking when she wanted to know about the "quantum computer", which i had neglected to give him a category for till now.

Hmmm, I haven't been able to figure this one out. Is there a way to keyphrase a single word without that word being flagged from the middle of a sentence? The words "what" and "really" come to mind, two pretty common single-word responses in conversation.

How can I differentiate between a "What?" and a "What would you like for lunch?"

I'm new so don't take my word for it but i would try using regular expressions as covering in the expert area in the book of AI. Something like "what\?? (re)" i believe would make the keyphrase have to be "what?". That would give you room to deal with the other question however you see fit without it calling upon "what?" i think. Again i'm new at this so i could be wrong.

I tried that, doesn't work.

Basically what I have now is "what" as a keyword with "what does", "what is," "i know what," etc. as higher ranked keywords. It doesn't really work well, there are far too many combinations to cover.

Anyone else?

erm sorry i got to thinking and i seemed to forget that ? couldnt be in keywords. so then i slapped myself silly...Anyhow the answer is still regular expressions but instead try "^what? (re)" i tested this on my bot that has a few "what...." question keywords and it seems to work. This basicly searches for the word "what" at the start of a sentence, But does not allow more then 1 other t beyond the what...so basicly it only allows "what" or "whatt". If i understand it right that is. Hope i managed to help this time.

to make "what would you like" pull up separate responses for just "what" alone, you give "what" a really low rank, and make a new keyphrase for "what would you like".
