SILVIA chatbot brings life to gadgets
At the Techcrunch40 conference in San Francisco, representatives of the Cognitive Code startup announced the creation of a new generation of chatbots that can efficiently analyze the text and really determine its meaning. The company has already registered 15 patents for intellectual language processing technology.
As you know, maintaining a conversation with a person is one of the most difficult tasks that developers of artificial intelligence systems have been struggling with for several decades. A special Loebner Prize chatbot contest is held annually , where the best programs of this kind compete. Among the winners of recent years - the famous chat bots Alice and Jabberwacky. However, the new SILVIA chatbot (symbolically isolated, linguistically variable intelligence algorithm) from Cognitive Code is superior to its competitors in several important ways.
Firstly, when conducting a conversation with a person, SILVIA understands and takes into account the context of the conversation, including previous conversations of the interlocutor.
Secondly, the program is able to comprehend concepts that are formulated in different words. During the conversation, when analyzing the text, she translates the words into conceptual data, which are placed in her short-term memory (information about the current conversation) or in long-term memory. Moreover, SILVIA can turn conceptual data back into natural language text while generating unique sentences. In addition to a regular conversation, the program can also perform other actions, for example, search the Internet, send e-mails, open and close documents on a computer. Other programs for voice control of a computer are capable of this only by direct command.
The developers are sure that SILVIA algorithms will find application in many devices, such as mobile phones. However, to begin with, Cognitive Code is about to conquer the market for children's toys.
