Bug Stomp

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.

That makes sense. Thanks Prof! And now for another mystery... I think ranks are not being calculated correctly:

You: what did you study?
Bot: Sure I did!

In this case, Love Agent is responding with the keyphrase for "did (not|) you" ranked -5, while the phrase "what * you study", ranked 50, was left untriggered.

What about an option to make * greedy?

like... "*!" or % or whatever regexp uses

Importing seeks don't work if it's like:
+yes[0]

it needs to be +yes [0] or + yes [0]

could we maybe have it as acceptable, or would that break things?

ERROR: All Seeks must be intended and follow a Response.
Line: "+no [0] "

I think prof meant indented

Well, you wouldn't want an unintentional Seek, either.

I'm having a problem getting Duo to recognize the following keyphrase:

Would you like to (guess|know) how old I am, Can you guess how old I am [25,0]

Whenever I test him, the following occurs:

Me: Would you like to know how old I am?
Bot: I didn't realize I was that obvious.

In here he's actually replying to the keyphrase "You like [2,2]", which is ranked way lower than the above.


But when I ask:

Me: can you guess how old I am?
Bot: Not a good idea. If I guess too young you'll think I'm calling you immature. If I guess too old, you'll think I mean you're boring.

- then he actually replies to the correct keyphrase. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, though. It seems like the gap between the ranking of the keyphrases is large enough to point him to the right one in both instances.

/puzzled/

Duo Maxwell: This will seem very random, but I just has to kiss you! *KISS KISS*

This is one of Duo's responses for xemote-positive. He keeps changing the verb from "have" to "has" - making him sound like Tarzan or something.

Imma does this same thing in a similar response.

Took me a while to figure out that this was caused by Julie catching the "sing" in "posessing"..

alc003: well I was the only one posessing that bit of soda.
Julie Tinkerbell: *sings* On the 28th day of Kwanza my lovable brother gave to me,
A pipefish in a mango tree!

That's probably a spelling preprocessing error, ezzer. If alc003 had said "possessing," the engine would not have needed to re-spell it.

But I like the song...
