DBPedia is interesting. This information about word categories can be retrieved, e.g. http://lookup.dbpedia.org/api/search.asmx/KeywordSearch?QueryString=running . I think questions all questions I initially want answered questions that are concerned with categories and relationships with them. For example, based on input.txt AI should have facts and relations set (married to someone, likes fishing, caught a big fish). If someone asks even something related to keywords he should get an answer. I don't want long conversations, only Q&A. Similar programs were written 30-40 years ago in lisp - chatterbots. I will look into Watson.
