[pandorabots-general] looking for a general-purpose French-speaking AIML bot on pandorabots.com

[ken austin]

Hello,

I am new to the BOT community.

My infant BOT is named Onto Logic.

As I follow the email thread below, I think of Stephen (steven?) Pinker
Currently at Harvard.

He is French Canadian and has some great insights on language processing.

Just Google ³pinker, the stuff of thought².

He highlights very clearly the ³easy² and hard part of engaging dialogue.

French-speaking AIML bot on pandorabots.com

Hello,

After some work I have finally been able to create a bot that implements the
French-language (by Jean-Louis Campion's) version of Alice. There were a few
issues, mainly because the AIML syntax on pandorabots.com
<http://pandorabots.com/>  differs slightly from the general syntax of AIML.
Here is the bot I created, her name is mathilde:

Ce n'est pas parfait (this bot needs some fixing).

Greetings,
Alex
