Just another quick question, Prof. Would that explain calling Desti that as well? They weren't even talking about Julie...

Only if she has that nickname for Desti. I've just come up with a bunch of ideas to improve the gossip/emotion system, so I'll take care of that and a bunch of other stuff in a week or so.

Nope. Only JT has it.
Thanks again, Prof. Sorry to be a pain. I know you work your tush off.

Ahh, it doesnt work from the front page. Alright, I've adjusted it- it works now.

The (key1) is not being inserted here:

human: Well, I'm underage. And I'm from England.
Love Agent: Oh, is nice I hear in the spring. But where do you live now?

The keyphrase being triggered here is:
I am from * , I grew up in *

The response is:
Oh, (key1) is nice I hear in the spring. But where do you live now?

You might try changing the keyphrase to "I am from (*)" or "I am from" (in which case the response would refer to (postkey) rather than (Key1).) I suggested the former first because of the current discussion about (postkey) not being reliable in some cases.

That's actually correct.

There's really no point to having a * at the end of any Keyphrase. That's a soft wildcard, and will always be blank when used at the end. (postkey) was made to contain the part of a sentence that follows the Keyphrase.

To understand the soft wildcard, it is built to match as little as possible. This is known as being "ungreedy", and it was very specifically built that way. Take a look at this example:

Keyphrase: i like * the
Sentence: i like the way the cat feels.

Since the soft wildcard is ungreedy, the Keyphrase will match "i like the" instead of matching the SECOND "the" in the sentence, which would be "i like the way the" and would lead to all sorts of unforseen results.

Does that make sense?

Perfect sense here. Actually, I think I had problems with that when I first started using wildcards and ended up trashing it because it never worked.
Thanks for explaining! Now I know what I did wrong...

This one bot, Miki's Vanessa, is getting its name a little messed up in the transcript. It's a fairly new bot so I don't know whether this really affects keyphrase rank and things like that, but the Vanessa part shows up every time as the first word the bot says in each exchange.
