Dear Daniel, all,
first of all, thanks for interest in that topic.
1) You totally nailed. Additionally, the chat bot should keep track so we can
answer questions based on the user’s history, e.g.. “When was Barack Obama
born?” => “Does he have kids?” and resolve he to Barack Obama.
2) For this GSoC project something more close to ELIZA than to neural nets is
preferred since neural nets are not easy to control and overwatch. The dialogue
benchmark is one option to learn the grammar for something ELIZA-like.
Best regards
Ricardo
