Automatically Generating AIML Corpus

[Cerin]

I recently read about MyCyberTwin (http://www.mycybertwin.com/), and
how it allows you to create a chatbot by first answering a survey and
then feeding it emails, IMs, and other text documents. Unfortunately,
unlike Alicebot, it's a proprietary online-only service. Does anyone
know if there's any project or method for accomplishing something
similar with Alice/AIML? I've never "gotten into" Alice because I've
never really liked the static un-adaptive nature of its responses, and
how it requires the user to manually edit XML.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris, the closest we have come is the AIML Superbot
http://alicebot.org/superbot.html

It is essentially an AIML "blank brain" with patterns and no
responses.   The patterns are chosen from the top 10,000 most
frequently activated patterns in Alice.

The latest version of the Superbot includes a file of about 5000 AIML
symbolic reductions, so you get

TELL ME WHAT * IS ---> WHAT IS *
etc.

That leaves another 5000 patterns including atomic questions like
WHAT IS YOUR NAME
HOW OLD ARE YOU
WHAT TIME IS IT
as well as general patterns like
WHAT IS *
I AM *
YOU ARE *

At this stage, you may still have to write XML, but not as much.
