Robby Garner, a.k.a. Robitron, is a natural language programmer and software developer. He won the 1998 and 1999 Loebner Prize Contests with the program called Albert One. He is listed in the 2001 Guinness Book of World Records as having written the “most human” computer program. A computational behaviorist after the term coined by Dr. Thomas Whalen in 1995, Garner’s first attempts at simulating conversation involved collections of internet chat viewed as a sequence of stimuli and responses. Garner pioneered conditioning (or targeting as in AIML) in chat bots. Kevin Copple of Ellaz Systems has collaborated with Garner on several projects, including Copple’s Ella, for which, Garner contributed voice recordings and music. Garner and Copple believe that intelligence may be built one facet at a time, rather than depending on some general purpose theory to emerge. Currently, Robby is Chief Science Officer of Institute of Mimetic Sciences, Inc. |
