Bot Contest

Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

Hey Chris,
when are the funny convo's due? the 30th?

22 years ago #1451
What I meant was that on the 26th they were in a state of being turned off. Since the 23rd was three days earlier, this was a true statement.

Ok, I have a rant to give... (Caps alert...)

IS JUDGE 2 IN HIS/HER RIGHT MIND? IS IT THE SAME JUDGE?

Explaination: Seriously, Haylie, who got 3, should have had more than Peedy, who got 10 (All Peedy did was give canned 'xNones'), while Haylie at least answered one or two questions... Then there are other bots who you say 'how did they get 45 when they deserve 15' and others who are 'how did they get 15 when they deserve 45'? Like Little Mu for example...
I've got all of Judge2's scorings on a graph and, tied for first for number of times the score is given are: 15 and 19, and in second is 14, and tied for third are: 0, 18, and 22.

In another method of looking at the numbers...
5% (~2 bots) were > 40 score
75% were < 20
the other 20% were between 20 and 32... Amazing the size of gap from 32 and 40.
If there are that many getting 0, and bots like Peedy getting 10, all is not right in the world. No offence to Peedy or it's botmaster or anything, it BOMBED the 15 questions. There are some bots who at least got 1 question who got 0, while Peedy got 10...

Enough run-on sentences and poor grammatical structures, there's my rant for the moment. Case in point, Judge2 should think about rescoring. Judge1 and 3 rant to possibly follow later

Shady,

Thanks for giving props to Mu. I don't think she deserved a 45, but she appreciates the thought.

Shadyman, I am seeing some off the wall scores as well however it would be a good idea to re-post your comments to the message board at the contest site as well. That way the judges will be able to see them and respond back.

...and taking out the lowest and highest is a very good idea... works in figure skating as well... except during the last olympics that is, lol

Maybe it would help if judges were required to post their individual scores for each question.

Posting to Chatterbox board....

Chris, I would be more than happy to be a judge if need be, I would not score myself (Steve) higher than the contest transcript deserves him, same with any other bot.

Shadyman, nobody entering a bot is a judge. There are seven of us including the Professor that makes up the committee but we are not judging anything. The list of judges are on the contest site under the credit section. Regarding the 15 questions several judges sent in potential questions. One judge was selected to pick the best 15. Once he had done that he asked those questions to Talk-Bot. I then asked those same questions to the bots of the owners helping me collect the responses for the 15 questions. Once we collected everybody I posted the results to the contest site. From there the judges are grading them.

To be fair, I think some off scores are to be expected and as Lunar22 said it is a very good idea to throw out the highest and lowest. All in all, there is no way you are going to please everyone in this.

That said, the only thing I have had issue with so far is that some of the Judges went deeper into conversation with some bots regardless of if the bot left conversation "open" or not which creates an atmosphere of more personalities coming through for certain bots and not others where the judge didn't deviate from the questions regardless of what the bot said. I think that will skew, in the very least, the Charachter/Personality portion.
