What are some good ways to start on a long AI project?
Jan Bogaerts has a “Neural Network Designer” (Download) for making dialog systems (chatbots). I haven’t tried it, so can’t say how well it works.
The University of Southern California (USC) Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) “Virtual Human Toolkit” (vhtoolkit.ict.usc.edu) includes “NPCEditor”, a tool for building question-answering characters based on statistical language modeling (probabilistic relevance models).
See the Quora topics:
· Conversational Agents (Chatbots)
· Dialog System (software)
· Virtual Assistants (bots)
