Elckerlyc & BML (Behavior Markup Language)

Notes:

Elckerlyc is a natural language processing (NLP) system that was developed by researchers at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. It is a virtual character that is designed to interact with users in a natural and intuitive way, using text or speech. Elckerlyc uses a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics, to simulate human-like conversation and behavior.

Elckerlyc uses a variety of tools and techniques to enable it to understand and interpret natural language, including the use of behavior markup language (BML). BML is a markup language that is used to specify and control the behavior of virtual characters in real-time. It is based on the idea of behavior trees, which are hierarchical structures that define the sequence of actions and decisions that a character can take in response to various stimuli.

In the context of Elckerlyc, BML is used to specify and control the behavior of the virtual character in real-time as it interacts with users. For example, BML might be used to specify how Elckerlyc should respond to various user inputs, such as by providing information, answering questions, or initiating a conversation. BML can also be used to control the facial expressions, gestures, and other nonverbal behaviors of the virtual character, to make it more lifelike and engaging.
