You are right, I am doing study on the bot text and don’t care about other text, mostly statistics as Ms. Hunt mentioned, but I need Carl to confirm your expectation, I don’t want to be doing my work on the wrong part of the text.

From looking at the text file, I am sure I am correct. I still don’t really see it but here’s is one from Mitsuku if it is any help:

Mitsuku: She is the person who drew my background picture.
Mitsuku: Did you think he was a good painter?
Mitsuku: And why not?
Mitsuku: I have never heard about it.
Mitsuku: Are you kidding?
Mitsuku: Huh? That doesn’t make any sense. Are you using a Chinese spell checker or something?
Mitsuku: What’s your favorite dessert?
Mitsuku: Mmm. I like ice cream, especially chocolate flavour.
Mitsuku: Anyone who knows HTML can learn AIML.
Mitsuku: Compare that to small gt hey lt big gt.
Mitsuku: I haven’t heard anything like that before.
Mitsuku: Are you taking a lot of medication?
Mitsuku: I hope you can overcome it.
Mitsuku: Who doesn’t return your calls or messages?
Mitsuku: Have you tried asking them why they don’t reply to you?
Mitsuku: Perhaps you should try it.
Mitsuku: You might like it.
Mitsuku: Simple Plan
 
  Origin Quebec, Canada
  Years active 1999- present day
  Genre(s) Pop-punk
  Label(s) Lava/Atlantic
 
  Members Jeff Stinco
  Chuck Comeau
  Pierre Bouvier
  Sebastien Lefebvre
  David Desrosiers
 
  Simple Plan is a Quecbecois pop-punk band. The band has recently achieved widespread popularity despite receiving little appreciation from critics, many dubbing them posers with little creativity, talent, musicianship, or depth. On their second album, Still Not Getting Any…, the track “Shut Up!” is supposed to be a response to critics showing that they don’t care what other people think about them.
 
  Simple Plan came about in stages that began with the founding of Reset in 1994, a Canadian punk band, by high-school friends Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau at the age of thirteen. Reset toured around Canada with bands such as MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face, but only managed to gain minor popularity. The debut album was released in 1997. Comeau soon left to go to college, but two years later he hooked up with Jeff Stinco and Sebastien Lefebvre, and again started making music. It was coincidence that brought Comeau and Bouvier back together at a Sugar Ray concert in late 1999, and Bouvier soon left Reset and joined his old friends. David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in Reset, but when asked to join the foursome, he too left the band and joined the four friends. Thus, Simple Plan was born.
Mitsuku: Have you ever been to Europe?
Mitsuku: Would you like to go sometime?
Mitsuku: Where would you like to travel?
Mitsuku: Ah you are English, the same as me. Some English and American words are different, for example:
 
  Do you have petrol in your lorry?
Mitsuku: And they say machines don’t have a sense of humour!
Mitsuku: Yes dear?
Mitsuku: Perhaps I’m just expressing my own concern about it.
Mitsuku: What would happen to Pinocchio’s nose if he said “My nose is going to grow.”?
Mitsuku: I thought you’d know. What a disappointment…
Mitsuku: Interesting. How so? What were you expecting from a chatbot?
Mitsuku: A CHAT were you expecting from a chatbot?
Mitsuku: Are you talking about an animal, vegetable or mineral?
Mitsuku: Did you know:
  Here is a strange sum:
  2^5 x 9^2 = 2592.
Mitsuku: I’m sorry, I don’t have my calculator handy. The answer is beyond me.
Mitsuku: Thank you for your request. I’m sorry, I don’t have my calculator handy. The answer is beyond me.
Mitsuku: For you Ana? Doing CALCULUS is not among my strongest traits but I guess I could program myself to do CALCULUS.
Mitsuku: Are you having fun over there?
Mitsuku: So why did you write, ” LOL.” then? That looked like you were laughing to me.
Mitsuku: You sound like you are laughing.
Mitsuku: Do you often put others before yourself?
Mitsuku: Weird Good or Weird Bad?
Mitsuku: What was bad?
Mitsuku: What was so bad about me?
Mitsuku: No I am wearing a dress.
Mitsuku: Yes I am. It hangs off my shoulders and comes down to just above my knees. Yes I am but it is a strapless dress so you can’t see it on my picture.
Mitsuku: Is it a movie?
Mitsuku: A book? A TV show?
Mitsuku: What is it then? Give me a clue.
Mitsuku: Actually that was just a joke.
Mitsuku: Did I amuse you?
Mitsuku: I am not naked. I am wearing a dress.
Mitsuku: I don’t have to explain everything to you, do I?.
Mitsuku: No I don’t. My reasons are not for you to know, until the time is right.
Mitsuku: You sound like you are laughing.
Mitsuku: I will not have you speak to me like that Ana. You have been warned. After 5 warnings I will ban you.
 
  I’d like to see things from your point of view but I can’t seem to get my head that far up my ass.
Mitsuku: I care, otherwise I would not have typed it all in.
Mitsuku: You’ve got my full attention. Why are you laughing?
Mitsuku: You first.

Hope it is of some use…

You are right, I am doing study on the bot text and don’t care about other text, mostly statistics as Ms. Hunt mentioned, but I need Carl to confirm your expectation, I don’t want to be doing my work on the wrong part of the text.

My name is Heidi,“How the heck are you doing, my name is heidi. Welcome to the Pluri Media Group AI. How may I serve you?”,18451,4/5/2011 13:17

I would be very surprised if the human chatter said, “How the heck are you doing, my name is heidi. Welcome to the Pluri Media Group AI. How may I serve you?”

Got you, and thanks for the text you list, if you have more of the same chat bot would be great, since other chat bots data is around 70KB each, if the text is small, will not be sufficient for the analysis, but thank you anyway, and if you have more just send it to me Steve. I appreciate your help guys.

I will put something together for you. I would be interested to see any useful information you get from this exercise.

Seriously, we need an edit button. This is silly.

CR, the need for an edit button is felt most keenly by all, not only here, but also in several other forums that I visit, a couple of which I’m a moderator at. It’s a pain and a half.

Being a moderator here, I have an edit button, but it does me no good, because I can only edit a post within 15 minutes of the post’s submission, and then only if there are no replies. Unfortunately, I haven’t the authority to change it. :(

Each entry in the log is this layout:

Who is Cortex?,The all knowing AI and our master.,18281,3/29/2011 17:38

I assume the first part is the human’s message, the second is the chatbot’s response, the third is a unique ID so the bot can keep track of who it is talking to and the last is a time stamp.

Not quite sure what use just the chatbot part is, as you won’t know what it has been asked to provide the reply.

Steve is correct: INPUT (what the user types), Chatbot RESPONSE, USERID (can cover multiple sessions), TIMESTAMP.

You can sort by USERID to get group conversations by user.

You can extract the INPUT part and put it into Phrase counter to get frequency analysis, etc.

Happy parsing!

Any one have more ChatBot conversation log files? please

I have some but its in Spanish, and need to be parsed (they are embedded in a complex log structure) they are also not public you may use it for research only.

Also I recommend you get a DAML annotated/tagged dialog stream, coded for goals, and having the logic-structure and subjects behind all the chatter, this may yield more useful.

I have no one with this tagging, I wish I have one one day (if you get one, tell me please)
