A.L.I.C.E Alicebot Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chatbot

A.L.I.C.E. or Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity is an award-winning artificial intelligence (A.I.) natural language processing chatterbot. In other word, ALICE as it commonly called, is a bot program that engages in a conversation with a human by applying some heuristical pattern matching rules to the human’s input, and in its online form it also relies on a hidden third person. It was inspired by Joseph Weizenbaum’s classical ELIZA program, and was named A.L.I.C.E because the computer that ran the first version of the software was called Alice.

A.L.I.C.E. is also one of the strongest programs and ‘most human’ of AI chat robot or chatbot, and has won the Loebner Prize three times (in 2000, 2001 and 2004). However, the program is unable to pass the Imitation Game (more commonly known as the “Turing Test”), as even the casual user will often expose its mechanistic aspects in short conversations. ALICE’s development began in 1995 by Richard Wallace, and was rewritten in Java beginning in 1998. The program uses an XML Schema called AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) for specifying the heuristic conversation rules, which was published in 2001, and led more developers to contribute to the project. Alicebot, an engine or software agent of ALICE utilizes AIML.
