Tangent but now I’m curious about the bot, is there a write-up anywhere? How did it work? If someone says “hi”, what did the bot respond and what did the human do? I’m picturing ELIZA with templates with blanks a human could fill in with relevant details when necessary.
- jacquesm 1y agoBasically Levenshtein on previous responses minus noise words. So if the response was 'close enough' then the bot would use a previously given answer, if it was too distant the human-in-the-loop would get pinged with the previous 5 interactions as context to provide a new answer. Because the answers were structured as a tree every ply would only go down in the tree which elegantly avoided the bot getting 'stuck in a loop'. The - for me at the time amazing, though linguists would have thought it trivial - insight was how incredibly repetitive human interaction is.
