Hey All, Its been an interesting discussion so far - thanks everyone for their input ! :-) The plugin uses an open-source JavaScript library (ie RiveScript) that is maintained elsewhere and as yet I haven't explored that library in detail to be able to make suggestions for modifications.. So improvements like fuzzy search will be a little bit beyond my abilities... I've read a bit on how NLP programs can provide phonetic tokens to eliminate spelling errors etc.
RiveScript probably won't be improved further towards some NLP capabilities - looking at is contribution page (https://www.rivescript.com/contributing) there keeping the scope pretty simple to reflect early chatbots. If I was to look at those capabilities I would probably look at alternative libraries ( not all of them as simple to use though) One of the reasons I developed this plugin was to learn about chatbots ( and some of their limitations - such as spelling mistakes and n! factorial complexity in building conversations) ... The standalone ability of TW makes it easier to experiment with the tutorial examples and start understanding the technology (and its limits) Cheers CB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
