I am not sure where to put this but there is a actual usa grant that you can get for working with artificial intellegence. here is the link http://fedgrants.gov/Applicants/NSF/OIRM/HQ/03-600/Grant.html

I'm slightly confused about what counts as a key. For example, in the following keyphrase:

It is (really¦very¦so¦ ) (*) that (*)

In this case, if I wanted to refer to the first asterisk (which would presumably be an adjective), would that be key1? Or would the (really¦very¦so¦ ) count as a key because it's enclosed in brackets? I've had to limit my responses a lot to avoid this problem so it would be nice to get it sorted.

(really|very|so|) is (key1)

how do I prevent this from happening. The reponse to that keyphrase that was triggered should not have shown up.
Didn't you say you have cousin was kidnapped, Fairy Princess?
Fairy Princess
That is good. We are so blessed by being fairies.

Uh.. check Compound Sentences in Bot Settings?

umm

I ask again how to match ":-)" without raw. Please answer me it is very useful for me!

There may be no way to match it without raw.

Ooh this thing makes regular expressions for you!

Frizella's got this keyphrase:

what do (adjartnoun) smell like
(ssub)? Whenever I smell (ssub) I think of (flower)s
<0>
which works divinely, producing such rib-ticklers as "Pigs? Whenever I smell pigs I think of roses."

However, for this keyphrase:
what does (adjartnoun) smell like
(ssub)? Whenever I smell (ssub) I think of (flower)s
<0>
the word "smell" is interpreted as a noun and included in the subject, resulting in "Pig smell? Whenever I smell pig smell I think of roses."

Any strategies for separating the pig from the smell?
