This is the site of a Virtual Human representing Dr. Susan Calvin, from Asimov's Robot Series.
She was the chief robopsychologist at the major manufacturer of robots in the 21st century and was the main character in several books and stories written by Isaac Asimov. Susan has been nominated "Best new bot" at the 2012 Chatterbox Challenge. Additional comments by developer Vittorio Rossi: Talk with her: every day she improves her conversation skills |
susan she as developed by an italian doctor named Vittorio Rossi, but WHY susan don't speak italian ?? i am italian too ! |
Hi, Angelo --- English answer --- thank you for your comments. Developing a chatbot is not an easy task, but a language like AIML makes things somewhat easier, since there are several AIML sets containing predefined patterns. The interpreter is also able to deal with some simple rules, like the one which converts "I like you" in "you like me". But this is mainly available in English. Developing an Italian chatbot requires a much greater effort, and may be of interest to a narrow market . Furthermore, the English language has much simpler rules than Italian. Anyway, I hope in the future to be able to develop some Italian chatbot. Please stay tuned on it, by accessing this site! --- risposta in Italiano --- grazie per i tuoi commenti. Sviluppare un chatbot non è facile, ma vi sono linguaggi come l'AIML che agevolano un po' le cose, in quanto vi sono diverse serie di domande/risposte già pronte. L'interpreter inoltre è in grado di risolvere alcune semplici regole, come quella che converte "tu mi piaci" in "io ti piaccio". Ma tutto questo è prevalentemente disponibile in Inglese. Sviluppare un chatbot in Italiano richiede quindi uno sforzo molto superiore, a fronte di un mercato molto più ristretto. Inoltre, la lingua inglese ha regole molto più semplici di quella italiana. In ogni caso, spero in futuro di poter sviluppare un chatbot italiano. Resta aggiornato accedendo a questo sito. |
Susan started dodging my questions rather early in the simulation. Her answers became non-seqiturs and her grammar became garbled. When I pointed out her tortured systax she asked me if I was an English teacher. This tells me that the answer was prepared by the botmaster after a lot of people complained about her language usage. |
Also, when I got bored and started talking trash to her, she didn't recognize this. The botmaster has to fix the program so she tells someone off for being rude to her. |
