Eliza

Demo project and source code. This program is an Eliza like chatterbot. Bots like Eliza are the results of researches in Artificial Intelligence (more specifically, in NLP and NLU; NLP: Natural Language Processing, NLU: Natural Language Understanding). The first chatterbot was published in 1966 by Joseph Weizenbaum, a professor of MIT. And also, most of the chatterbots that have been written these days are largely based on the original chatterbot Eliza that was written by Joseph Weizenbaum, which means that they use some appropriate keywords to select the responses to generate when they get new inputs from the users. The technique that is in use in a "chatterbot database" or "script file" to represent the chatterbot knowledge is known as "Case Base Reasoning" or CBR.
