A graduate student of mine has written a TSL_AIML Parser, chatbot editor tool. "The TSL AIML Search Tool is written using Visual Basic .NET utilizes the concept of linear search, also known as sequential search. This is a common method of performing a search and though it may not be the fastest, the algorithm is simple and the list need not be in any specific order." A Beta version is uploaded onto the CLONE3D site. There is some documentation and a paper describing the tool there as well. It's posted to a weblog here: http://clone3d.com/WordPress/ Or you can find it directly here: http://clone3d.com/research/SiewlanTanPaperIVA2006_format.pdf - Some documentation. http://clone3d.com/research/TSL_Tool_Beta_V1.zip - The executable is here.Please post feedback. _______________________________________________ This is the alicebot-general mailing list Reply to [hidden email] Unsubscribe and change preferences at http://list.alicebot.org/mailman/listinfo/alicebot-general Learn netiquette at http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html Learn to read at http://www.literacy.org/ |

Hi,
I just now had some time to look over your paper. Very well written short piece about your graduate student's work. My feedback would be that the brief explanation of AIML might be more well suited at the begining. Kind of seemed out of place in the middle, but not too bad. Then again, I'm a programmer not an English teacher what do I know, eh? ;-) For the metrics, I'd conduct metrics based on categories loaded instead of AIML files. AIML files can be anywhere from 0 to n categories and not really a fair metric unless you have AIML files with the same number of categories but at that point you're just measuring categories anyways. Probably your grad student used mostly the rich .NET library but giving perhaps the runtime in Big-O would score major geek points. It sounds like since he used linear search it's O(n) but I'm kind of curious now. Are you planning on releasing this as an open source tool with an open source license? Finally, I'm interested in his thoughts on the following: * What problems cropped up that were either near or completely unsolvable in the amount of time given and how many hours did he spend estimated? * What problems did he solve which were of a major conquest? * If he continued working on the project what would be his roadmap for the future with it? * What insights did he gain from working on this problem set Cool program and tool I hope it makes it to the open community. --- [hidden email] wrote: --------------------------------- A graduate student of mine has written a TSL_AIML Parser, chatbot editor tool.

Mehri,
Thanks for the feedback on the parser. I discussed the code with Sielan, my grad student. She and I are considering changes as per your advice. We are also considering different ways to release the code that are the most advantageous to my student. Since AIML is open source it does form a bit of a dilemma. I'm not a programmer. I've worked as an artist in the film industry in Hollywood and am now at a technological university in Singapore (Nanyang Technological University) pursuing research and teaching. It's great to have access to such a talented group of people. Thanks again, -- MC -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of mehri Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 3:14 PM To: [hidden email]; Alicebot and AIML General Discussion Subject: Re: [alicebot-general] TSL AIML Parser/Chatbot editor Hi, I just now had some time to look over your paper.
