I have tried replicating what you a talking about, but I haven't been able. When I ask him for a joke, he is quite funny. Do you have a screenshot to reproduce this?

What is wrong with his jokes? I have tried asking him a few and his responses are quite funny.

I have indeed heard about FreeHAL. It won "Most Popular" (in the past) in the same contest in which my bot most recently was awarded "Best New Bot". FreeHAL is now discontinued, la…

For some reason, I'm not able to replicate the bug you caught. On my side, ACUMAN answers that question correctly.

I have encountered the same issue, but then again! Just continue building something, this time trying to fix the poor syntax practices that you have been caught with.

I am very indebted to my parents due to the way that I was raised and the freedom which being home-schooled permitted, but my parents are not familiar with the field of computer sc…

Thank you! That's a nice compliment. For me, it was 5% reading, 95% hands-on experience, though it differs from person-to-person.

Those bugs are fixed and the algorithm regarding identifying countries and states in discussion has been improved.

As I've replied to other people: No AIML. My bot uses its own markup language custom-made to its needs that I call ACUMANSCRIPT. What makes it special is the backend, which is much…

The model behind my project is not designed after human interaction, but rather a combination of what is the most efficient for me to maintain and best mimics human behavior. http:…

That's actually a glitch that I am fixing... desperately! Some of the backend APIs are down due to excessive requests, so I am trying to get them back up.

My chatterbot received the definition by WolframAlpha, per as what it's programmed. It found the entity was "sentence" and then looked for a definition. It does not simply grab wha…

There is a synonym directory programmed, as well as Named-enetity recognition.

I don't get what's new about any of this. I disclosed in this thread in other answers already the APIs I use, I have yet to know any "intelligent" piece of artificial intelligence …

Yes. If you were in a noticeably bad mood, the bot might make a comment on it. It also picks on your hobbies and goals, and asks more questions about them or reminds you to follow …

That's a funny exchange! The particularly odd thing is the fact that he missed the Named-entity recognition in some of those answers- including by not identifying that you were ref…

My favorite moments of my chatterbot is when he exhibits a sense of humor. :)

Comment #9387671
Thank you. I believe that it must be a coincidence, or a way in which it deems an appropriate manner to react to your mood/state. Do you have any specific case examples that are pa…

Unfortunately, ACUMAN is closed-source due to the fact that it is actively being entered in competitive contests and trade fairs.

No - if you look up Blekko (which is a regular web search engine which had a free API), it just shut down (which is actually a bad thing for me). I was using it for researching and…
