Interactive Chatbot

The archetype of interactive natural language interfaces was a program called ELIZA written by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s. The idea of the program was to engage a human in a conversation that appeared to be with a human, instead of with a computer. The original domain of ELIZA was psychiatry, and the mode of interaction was guided by the practices of psychologists at the time. Although the field has advanced substantially, no chatbot today has passed the "Turing test" which is the ability to fool a human into thinking that there is another human on the other side of the interface.

PHRASER - Index Phrase Extraction    Index Phrase Extraction

PHRASER is an experimental noun phrase parser for English text. After invoking the part-of-speech tagger, PHRASER isolates noun phrases and outputs them as potential index phrases. Using the Derivational Morphology dictionary, the program can apply verb nominalization rules to convert verb phrases and their complements into noun phrases. For example, "John translates books" will generate the index term "translation of books". The program has an option to output the text in XML format.


The Web-Based PHRASER is temporarily out of service.

Modified Paice/Husk Stemmer

Stemming is a technique for generating truncated terms that increase recall in information retrieval systems. The stem RECEIV, for example, will match against RECEIVE, RECEIVES, and RECEIVING. The Paice/Husk stemmer was modified to improve error diagnostics in the rules, allow interactive testing, provide more precise stems, and add some flexibility for implementing finite state automata. A new rule set was developed to generate stems that are as precise as possible for information retrieval in large databases.
