We have about 20+ languages running in our chats and chatter-bots, only 2 languages (german and english) are hard-coded and france is coming soon. We are testing many different learning programs getting most times bad results, but we see what things work and more important what things failed. We are using alicebot.org (AIML) for seed-chatter-bots and statistical NLP for learning better dialogs. We are implementing a multi-languange chat-system, every chatter writes and talks in his native-language, because low-quality translation is fast and easy. >So I think the mainstream AI community will get to AGI, it will just take >them a while....

Today its uninteresting to look into our protypes (http://bot.parsimony.net/liste/), because it was mainly a test for our business model. Now hardware is cheap enough to earn money with multilanguage chat-systems and chatterbots. server-prices dropped from 600$/month (1Q 2001) to 40$/month (4Q 2002). cu Alex ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/
