ALICE (A.L.I.C.E. - Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity) is a chatbot
for natural language. The development of Alice has been inspired by ELIZA, a program developed
by Joseph Weizenbaum in the 60s. Alice is one of the most advanced Chatbots and has won
three times the Loebner-Price (2000, 2001 and 2004). In contrast to the original Eliza program,
Alice uses extensive formalized knowledge and can learn during the conversation.
The original version of the program has been developed by Dr. Richard Wallace. In addition, there is
an active community of developers advancing Alice in the context of the open source project
www.alicebot.org
and the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML).
PRIVACY: Please note that the chatbot is hosted by Pandorabots and consequently your input
is transferred to their servers. On the server, a chat protocol is stored for each session.
As of now, I have not found a way to disable this logging (it is meant to improve the chatbots).
Therefore, make sure that you do not enter confidential details about you, your family and friends
or other privacy-related information.
