general question about chatbots and genetic algorithms
 
 

Thank you Mr. Wilcox for sharing ChatSript with the public. I am just beginning to write my own chatbot. Thank you chatbots.org for hosting this forum. I have been trying to read everything and I am trying to understand many parts of artificial intelligence.

Do you think genetic algorithms could be used to optimize an existing chatbot? Do you think genetic genetic algorithms could evolve a chatbot from a population of chatbots build from random chatscript rules?

It seems like chatbots would have a very clear fitness function. Using a list of many questions as input we could compare all the answers (the output) from each chatbot to the correct answers from a human and see which chatbot is more correct.

I am thinking of going to graduate school. Would you recommend this idea as a major project or thesis? Am I over-simplifying or misunderstanding chatscript, genetic algorithms, or both?

My first impression would be this is a bad idea.
A combination of 1) the time it would take to cycle a generation
2) the fitness function does not seem to me to be as obvious as you make it out to be
3) chat is a combination of highly accurate output and appropriately vague output.

Thank you Mr. Wilcox for your advice.  I have been trying to add more detail to my idea but it is very hard.  I will keep searching for a good chatbot thesis idea.

Bsmith, I suggest focusing first on finding an appropriate advisor. Your graduate advisor will certainly have many project ideas and good advice in selecting a research topic.
