Hi Alex,
embryonic experiments with an inference based chatbot were attempted a
year ago or so
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LduD7Et_cOs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu6zrwAVD0k
the inferences themselves are genuine, however the inference control +
some pre and post processing are hardwired, for efficiency and
reproducibility reasons.
The code is here
https://github.com/opencog/opencog/tree/master/opencog/nlp/chatbot-psi
To bring that to the next level a few things need to be improved, like
relex2logic, inference control, temporal reasoning, perhaps more.

Hi!
I asked this question in
StackExchange https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/82575/semantic-drt-methods-for-conversational-agents-chatbots-dialogue-systems-r
and actually I don't hope to receive meaningful answer there. So - maybe
ideas and experience from Eva chatbot can provide some answer (and
references) to my question. So - in essence - today the natural language
can be formalized enough -
e.g. http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319504209
and https://academic.oup.com/jos and there are efforts to convert the
formalized language into meaningful logics
like http://virthost.vub.ac.be/lnaweb/ojs/index.php/LogiqueEtAnalyse/article/view/1873
So - if language can be formalized then - can we perceive the
conversation as the logical inference process? Conversational agent is
BDI or PSI agent that acts based on the logical inferences. Such
chatbots should be built and they should be far more rational and human
than agents built from the statistical methods or precompiled answers.
So - is Eva chatbot such logical/semantic conversational agent and is
yes - then - how unique it is. Are the prior art references which I can
read further or are there research trends which form the context of the
Eva and from which I can receive encouragment for my own efforts.
I like logics and inference control (it should be realizable as BDI
agent) and I can not believe that so much credit is given to the
statistical and subsymbolic methods in this century.
