PureBasic Forums - English

Hi, Alan² is a script language for processing of natural language.
This script language don't use neural networks or other AI
algorithms, it works searching word patterns that will give a
type of response, a WHO IS pattern can be associated to a I
DON'T KNOW response.

Some people can think that this system is not the best to
make programs of this style, but Alice works on a similar
way and was the winner of Loebner prize 2004.

If someone want to test it:

I hope that people seen my programs better than other
programs of my work, if not i probably will study change
to C++, i prefer PB, but when your work have some
comentaries, you got very tired... i'm not very happy for
the last comentaries of my work...

I haven't read any of these comments, I can only say that the tools and apps you've showed here are very cool and professional-like. I don't know where do you get time to code all that stuff. Almost all your posts are announcements like this! Keep up the good work!

There isn't very much people wich investigate like you. I'll wait you continue your work.

jsut keep up the good work, ignore the nay-sayers, they often have nothing better to do, and you appear to have a firm grip on pb programming!

All your apps are really cool Balrog, I always keep an eye on them even if I don't do many comments..

Your programs are really good!

im just taking a look at Alan^2
im studying the readme file to figure out how to make a bot

Hi,
nice one! I've done a basic Weizenbaum's Eliza implementation couple of years ago, but yours seems to be more advanced than mine...

Even with a speaker - really nice!

Would you like to share the code?

Help! The program crashes when launched!
Am I missing some (non too common) dll or similar?

Hi BalrogSoft
I mesed with Eliza too some years ago.
But sadly Allan crashes for me too, just after you see the chat window.

Hi, i don't wait really responses to all my announces, when exist a few of comentaries, and if some of them are like i view on some posts, i got a deception... But what they don't see is the work that is behind a program. I'm totally sure that my programs are not the best on its category, but it is not my intention.

I finished this program some days ago, but i was thinking to publish on pb forums, or not, after see the critic posts... i finally made it...

About share the code, yes, why not?, but i want to clean a little and put some comentaries on the code before make a public release...

To Blade and Henrik: This program use Microsoft Speech API, it comes with the OS on Windows Me/2000/XP, but on W98 it is not installed, try to download from Microsoft web. Another option is disable the speech on Alan prefs, set Speech = 0 on Global preferences, it probably solve the problem...

@BalrogSoft
that was it , the "Speech = 0" thing
it's cool, working very well

Shareing the source would be Extra Cool

Hi BalrogSoft
Very nice m8
I think that the source'(s) i messed with long ago, was in Java, they was a real pain i the ***, make head or tail of.
A short glance through the Readme/Brain and source i allready got a pretty good idear how it's working and how to change stuff, thats cool
Again, Thank you for Shareing BalrogSoft

Btw. do you have some - "Not tooo scientific more Tutorial like" - Links about Bots (Alice) and Neural networks you could recommend ?
