(2004) Alice have recently win a bronze medal in the Loebner competition for the most human computer program.
The original creator of the Alice chatterbot is Dr. Richard Wallace who is also the creator of A.I.M.L (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language ).
A very simple and useful computer programming language for writing chatbots.
(2005) The chatterbot Jabberwacky (character George) has won the Loebner prize for this year.
Jabberwacky is a chatterbot that was written by Rollo Carpenter,he have won the bronze medal,
a total prize of 3000$. The three time winner Alice has came in fourth place.
Loebner prize 2005
Originaly,it was John McCarthy that has forge the name "Artificial Intelligence" and also used it to name the field that is known today
as "Artificial Intelligence". John McCarthy is also regarded as the father of A.I. The concept of a machine who is capable to mimic
human intelligence is not really a new one. But,it was only in the modern time,since 1941 when the first electronic computer
was built that this idea slowly emerge from the myth to finaly become more and more part of our reality.
Some important contributions to A.I: in the early 1950's,
Norbert Wiener has theorised that all intelligent behaviour was the the result
of some sorts of feedback mechanisms.
In 1955, Newell and Simon has created the "Logic Theorist",
a program that was capable of solving problems by using "tree models"
to represent each problem. This program "The Logic Theorist" is also considered
by many as the first true A.I program. In 1958, Jonh McCarthy has announced
the creation of a new computer program known as Lisp.
Also in 1966, Joseph Weizenbaum a professor of computer science has published "Eliza" a program that was capable of processing language at a basic level thus giving the impression that the program was a human psychatrist. "Eliza" is the direct ancestor to the programs that are known today as "chat robots" or chatterbots.
So far,the history of A.I continues,
many progress are made each year in this scientific discipline,
but the long term goal of creating a computer program that is capable of learning "Natural Language" such as english or any other languages remains an unsolve problem.
For programers who have started artificial intelligence programming recently Example: there are some good tutorials that can help you start learning "Neural Nets", "Fuzzy Logic",
"Sentence Matching" etc.
There are many good links in the internet about the a.i subject.
Most of the time,all you need to do is a Google search on the subject of your interest.
Also,you will find some useful a.i links and
programming forums in the "the Favorite Links" page in this site. So,good luck!
This link allows you, as visitors to my site, to ask and answer questions about A.I or programming in general.
