What technologies did you use to build this bot? Are you using any libraries?
I am pretty sure it uses wolfram or wikipedia api to answer questions.. Perhaps also ALICE and AIML

#102Very impressive. If this is what you do at 14, imagine what you'll be doing in a few years.

Pedantic if you like but as with 'pregnant', you can't qualify 'unique'. You either are or you're not.
Nope on both counts. It's a common idiom to say that someone is 'very pregnant'.
That simply means they have a very large baby bump. It does not mean that they are "more pregnant" than a lady with a smaller bump. Pregnancy is a binary state.

Sean Le Van: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vyACnFsNm4
Bio "Sean Le Van is 13. He has given many professional concerts since the age of five years old, along with members of his family, The Le Van Family Musicians. He started as a singer in various styles and soon developed a passion for jazz improvisation and composition on the piano. He now embraces several musical genres, including jazz and classical.
He was a laureate winner of the 2010 American Association for the Development of the Gifted and Talented competition, which led him to perform in the “Passion of Music Festival” at Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall, and Bechstein Hall as a classical pianist. Soon after, he was invited to perform with his family in the 3rd Vianden International Music Festival in Luxembourg under the patronage of the U.S. embassy. In jazz, he has been engaged to perform at various clubs and festivals, such as Steamers Jazz Club, the Curtis Theatre (Brea) under the patronage of Resonance Records, and the 26th Munster International Jazz Festival in France. Sean has made acclaimed solo appearances and shared the stage with vibraphonist Michel Hausser, bassist Bruce Lett, drummer Mack Gordon, pianist Llew Matthews, bassist Putter Smith, drummer Mourad Benhammou as well as jazz veteran Shep Shepherd, among others.
Sean is also a prodigy in computer programming. In his free time, he enjoys running and skateboarding, playing with his cocker, as well as reading in science, literature, philosophy, and history." http://seanlevanmusic.dunked.com/biography

#105It's shit.

#106The bot seemed to be mining personal information from me.
If you think about it, people are voluntarily disclosing all things about themselves which can be stored and sold on.

I can guarantee you nothing is getting sold- the only people to whom the information is available to is in the psychometrics page which is available to you, and it is all stored on cookies on your end which you can actually see with your browser.

I hate to say it but it's a (great looking, fun) chat bot, not an AI.
From a strictly technical point of view, it is at least some form of Artificial Intelligence: 1) From the perspective of the Turing Test, it biomimics human behavior and intelligence. 2) The field of artificial intelligence deals with a computerized comprehension of data. ACUMAN is heavily dependent on machine learning, natural language processing, and text classification algorithms, which facilitate understanding. I…

I had indeed posted it previously. I am reposting it because it has been changed significantly since then in almost every respect, both algorithmically and in the concept.
> it has been changed significantly since then in almost every respect, both algorithmically and in the concept. Does the about page reflect the "old" or the "new" concept? ( http://acuman.us/about.txt ) Can you describe the ACUMANSCRIPT? Is it similar to Prolog or Lisp? Fuzzy string match is this something like Soundex/Double Metaphone? Do you use a knowledge base or ontology (Freebase, Wikidata, etc.)? What program…
Thank you for expressing interest and checking out ACUMAN.
The "about page" reflects the "old" concept, as stated on this new page: http://acuman.us/readmore.php
The syntax of the ACUMANSCRIPT markup language is actually more similar to XML (or, in the AI field, AIML) due to its rigid structure. It's fundamentally based on pattern matching akin to regex. However, the backend processing which alters ACUMANSCRIPT and processes the individual data is what makes it unique.
The knowledge base used for the Named-entity recognition for the processing of ACUMANSCRIPT is Wikimedia and WolframAlpha, used in conjunction.
It is all processed in the backend using PHP.

Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique. Unlike pregnant which is a binary (are/are not), unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium. Even the dictionary, in one of the terms for unique, gives a meaning that's not "unique" in a binary way at all: "not typical; unusual". If it wasn't a continuum we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique" us…
> Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique.
Pedantic, but you can't. Unique is not a gradable adjective. This is not just my opinion :

> we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique"
I wouldn't normally bring this up, but while we're being pedantic, there are lots of reasonably common expressions that exhibit gratingly poor grammar or sematics. You have quoted two of them above.
> unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium.
Ah no. Unique means "one of a kind", not merely "differing". "uni" as a prefix means one, e.g unicycle, universe, unitard. "one of a kind"-ness is not continuous! As per the second link, "unique" already contains the idea of "very different".
